The Atlantic A Senate hearing for President Biden’s attorney-general nominee is surfacing some big questions. February 22, 2021 This time around, Judge Merrick Garland is getting his hearing. Not only is President Joe Biden’s nominee for attorney general receiving a Senate audience, but his confirmation seems very likely, a second difference from his 2016 nomination to the Supreme Court, which was stymied by then–Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. But there’s still an important question at stake in Garland’s nomination, and if confirmed, in his work as attorney general. The Trump presidency has both underscored and made more urgent a running debate over what exactly the U.S. Department of Justice is for. ....
The Atlantic From Russiagate to the insurrection at the Capitol, Trump’s crises followed a clear trajectory. February 18, 2021 Lawfare Science History Images / Alamy / Paul Spella / The Atlantic In folklore and rhetoric, there’s a concept known as the “rule of three.” A trio of events, characters or ideas, the reasoning goes, is for some reason more engaging to the human mind than collections of two or four. The major crises that will define Donald Trump’s attacks on democracy and the rule of law over the course of his presidency have now reached that crucial number. First, there was the Russian election interference in 2016 and Trump’s efforts to overturn the investigation into it; second, Trump’s extortion of Ukraine in 2019, which led to his first impeachment; and finally, his incitement of a violent mob against the Capitol on January 6. From a storyteller’s perspective, the arc of Trump’s presidency is finally complete. ....
The Atlantic The case against despair Updated at 2:30 p.m. ET on February 8, 2021. In 2020, President Donald Trump withheld military aid from Ukraine to blackmail its president into fabricating dirt on Joe Biden. The House of Representatives impeached Trump for this act. The Senate acquitted him. In 2021, Trump incited a mob of his supporters to attack the Congress, in hopes of overturning his defeat in the presidential election. This act of incitement immediately followed Trump’s attempts to mobilize election officials in Republican states to find votes to reverse in his favor the certified election outcome. The House of Representatives impeached Trump for this act, too. The Senate seems certain to acquit him again. ....
The Atlantic The most dangerous thing that happened Wednesday occurred after the mob dispersed. January 13, 2021 Anna Moneymaker / The New York Times / Redux January 6, 2021, will surely live in infamy the day the United States Capitol was stormed by a mob, forcing legislators to evacuate in a rush and leaving five dead, including a police officer. The most dangerous part of that day for the country as a whole, however, was not what happened when the insurrectionists fought their way into the Capitol in the afternoon, but what happened just a few hours later on the floor. After all that mayhem, the legislators were escorted back to the chamber under heavily armed escort, and a stunning 139 representatives 66 percent of the House GOP caucus along with eight GOP senators, promptly voted to overturn the election, just as the mob and the president had demanded. ....
