Jan. 6 investigator Jamie Raskin: "I'm not gonna see American democracy go down the tubes."
Last February, Americans watched Congressman Jamie Raskin manage the impeachment trial of former President Trump. "This trial is about who we are," he said.
And they now see him on the Committee investigating the January 6 Capitol assault: "We have a duty to collect all of the evidence we need to report back to Congress and to the American people."
But many viewers may not know that Raskin has carried out these duties under circumstances most of us could not even imagine.
After all, Raskin seems to have lived a charmed life, since 2017 representing a Maryland Congressional District that shares his pragmatic-progressive ideals. He told correspondent Rita Braver, "This is a community of activists and dreamers and visionaries, and it always has been."
