'The powers undermining the Jan. 6 committee include not just its Republican critics but some of its most devoted champions,' Ross Douthat writes.
Video of President Donald Trump addressing many of the supporters who went on to storm the Capitol plays during the first public hearing of the House January 6th committee, on Capitol Hill in Washington on Thursday, June 9, 2022. The committee explicitly declared that Trump committed a crime by conspiring to overturn an election. The attorney general, however, has not weighed in. And a jury of his peers may never hear the case.There are two metrics for the success of the House’s Jan.
Among those general forces, though, the biggest obstacle to the committee’s Trump-disqualifying effort is a specific spirit, a shrugging,sensibility — a view of our politics that sees norm-breaking all over the place, both right and left winking at riots and intimidation tactics, and Trump as one dubious actor among many.
The past week brought a depressing example of this pattern. As the media geared up to cover the Jan. 6 committee hearings, a young man seemingly motivated by liberal causes — a constitutional right to abortion and gun control — crossed the country with the apparent intention of assassinating Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh at his Maryland home.
