The Unraveling Of the Cover-Up of January 6

From MSNBC Lawrence O'Donnell today ... July 30, 2021

Law prof. says "We are witnessing the unraveling of the cover-up" of Jan. 6

"The Justice Department's brief not only said that it is no part of the job of any Congressperson to attack Congress, to incite insurrection. It pointedly said it's no part of any federal employee's job to do any of those things. That inciting an unruly, partly armed and violent mob to kick ass and to take names and to interfere with an official function of Congress is well beyond the sphere of any federal employee's official duties and is therefore not immune from liability, especially under the so-called Ku Klux Klan Act, which is part of this lawsuit," Professor Laurence Tribe says on a lawsuit in which Rep. Swalwell and Capitol Police officers have sued fmr. President Trump and others for their roles in the Capitol riot.

"It's a terribly important development for the ultimate accountability of the guy who organized a lot of what went on that day and did nothing to stop it as people were being crushed — crushed almost to death, in some cases."

"We are witnessing the unraveling of the cover-up of the worst insurrection since the Civil War in the history of this country. This is serious, and it's not going end well for Donald Trump."
