Text from article: Between Davis and Nixon are any number of more minor figures whose crimes against the body politic were wiped away, if they were ever acknowledged in the first place. So it goes, in the 21st century, with President Trump. Five years ago, as the departing president, he inspired an attack on the United States Capitol in a last-ditch effort to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. “We fight like hell,” Trump said to an angry crowd of supporters hours before they marched to the Capitol. “And if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore.” Before this, Trump had pressured Republicans in states such as Georgia and Michigan to fabricate votes and invalidate results. He pushed his allies, as he put it, to “stop the steal,” and he summoned the mob that would attack Congress and try to stop certification of the Electoral College. (“Big protest in D.C. on January 6th,” Trump tweeted on Dec. 19, 2020. “Be there, will be wild!”) As Jack Smith, the special prosecutor appointed under President Joe Biden to investigate the case against Trump, said in a recent deposition before the Republican-led House Judiciary Committee, “The attack that happened at the Capitol, part of this case, does not happen without him.”
