\nQuote – It\u2019s extremely rare for autopsies to be changed after a death and it only happens if the pathologist or medical examiner discovers new information they didn\u2019t have at the time of the examination, lawyers said. In McClain\u2019s case, the potential change in his death determination comes after a grand jury met behind closed doors for eight months in 2021. Information from that investigation \u2014 tens of thousands of investigatory documents, interviews and forensic and physical evidence \u2014 is sealed from the public, but that information is what apparently led Broncucia-Jordan to change the death certificate.

\nQuote – If Trump has broken the law \u2013 by attempting a coup, by instigating an assault on the U.S. Capitol, by making off with troves of top-secret documents — he must be prosecuted, and if found guilty he must be imprisoned. Yes, such prosecutions might increase tensions and divisions in the short term. They might provoke additional violence. But a failure to uphold the laws of the United States would be far more damaging in the longer term. It would undermine our system of government and the credibility of that system — more directly and irreparably than Trump has done. Not holding a former president accountable for gross acts of criminality will invite ever more criminality from future presidents and lawmakers.
