Reprinted with permission from Alternet
U.S. Capitol Police announced Friday afternoon that one officer was killed and another hospitalized after a driver plowed a car into a barrier outside the Capitol complex. The driver of the vehicle, who was reportedly shot by police after he left the car and lunged at them with a knife, officials said.
Reports of the incident first emerged on Friday around 1 p.m. when Capitol Hill was put on lockdown, and staff were alerted about an external security threat via text message.
Multiple reporters on the scene shared the news.
With the Senate’s acquittal of President Trump
There are basically two options left on the table. The first was mentioned by Trump’s defense lawyers as an alternative to an impeachment conviction: a criminal investigation and indictment through the executive branch of the federal government or a state or local government, with a possible trial in the judicial branch.
The second is to squeak out some accountability through the U.S. Congress. Some have called for a sanction under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. But more important for the rule of law and the Constitution going forward would be a slate of new legislation post-Watergate style aimed at plugging the many holes in the separation of powers that Trump exploited.
