Extremism and accountability: How the aftermath of Jan. 6 impacts future plots

It started with 'The Big Lie." Many argue that led directly to the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 last year.

Over the last 12 months, hundreds have been arrested and charged in connection with the insurrection, including nearly a dozen from New England and six from Massachusetts.

But that's just a fraction of those who breached the Capitol that day. And as investigations — both by law enforcement and Congress continue - it has become clear that there was coordination, planning, at least by and for some of the participants, behind that breach.

We talk more about accountability, and what the future may hold for extremism locally and nationally with Joan Donovan, Research Director at Harvard's Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics, and Public Policy and Andrew Lelling, former US Attorney for Massachusetts under the Trump Administration. Lelling coordinated with the U.S. Attorney's office in the District of Columbia on prosecutions.
