The Justice Department issued a triumphal press release on Wednesday to announce that it had induced a leader of the Oath Keepers to plead guilty to a seditious-conspiracy charge in connection with the Capitol riot.
Now you may have heard, particularly if you’ve been following the House January 6 Committee’s investigation, that then-president Donald Trump is not only singularly responsible for the tumult on Capitol Hill that day and not only “incited” an “insurrection”; Trump may even have committed such federal crimes as obstruction of congressional proceedings — and he most certainly stoked that throng into obstructing congressional proceedings by rioting.
