Itās January 6āthe second anniversary of the Jan. 6 insurrection. There has been a lot of activity in those two years to account for what happened on that terrible day.
To go over it all,Ā LawfareĀ editor-in-chief Benjamin Wittes sat down withĀ LawfareĀ executive editor Natalie Orpett andĀ LawfareĀ senior editors Scott R. Anderson, Quinta Jurecic, and Roger Parloff. They discussed what has been done across the many diverse areas in which we have sought accountability for Jan. 6āto do justice, to tell the story, and to make legal and policy changes to prevent this from ever happening again. They talked about criminal investigations and prosecutions, the Jan. 6 committee, congressional storytelling, the legislative process, what is left to do, and whatās been left undone. And they consider a big question: are we safer now than we were then?
