Republicans seem to regard the January 6 coup attempt as a dress rehearsal for another (successful) Putsch, and their pseudo-legal sedition continues, e.g, in US courts. A Democracy Docket report details an extensive attack on democracy through extensive litigation brought by Republican election deniers and vote suppressors. Thus far, the courts have protected democracy.
The full report of the January 6 Committee has now been released, although both the New Yorker and Washington Post identified significant omissions, e.g, the role of social media.
The report's executive summary stated a devastating case against Donald Trump, in 17 specific findings, referring four criminal charges against Trump to the Attorney General. Also referred: Trump's lawyer, the troubled John Eastman.
No other dodgy lawyers were referred, but many lawyers' testimony was revealed, both as subjects and witnesses; the executive summary also alluded to unlawful interference in the committee's activities by legal counsel for some witnesses.
Some lawyers are already being investigated by DoJ: in a DC proceeding, a federal court unsealed documents that incriminate several lawyers, including drafts of an autobiography the DoJ quisling Jeffrey Clark is writing, more here.
