The article discusses the Trump administration's actions regarding the January 6 insurrection, noting the recent deletion of a Justice Department page listing defendants. It highlights Trump's pardons for participants, framing them as unjust, and presents the broader context of Republican reluctance to address the insurrection. Despite attempts to erase records, the event remains well-documented through video evidence and investigations. The author critiques Trump's portrayal of his clemency announcements as a reconciliation process, emphasizing the ongoing relevance of the truth surrounding the insurrection.
The deletion of the Justice Department's page on January 6 is a triumph for the insurrectionists whose crimes were erased, and for Republicans more generally.
But in the long term, the truth of what happened will prove difficult to bury. The roughly six hours during which rioters breached the Capitol are some of the most exhaustively documented in recent history.
