Capitol, we speak with constitutional lawyer and former Reagan administration official Bruce Fein, who says the insurrection was not just an attack on the U. S. Capitol, but an effort, basically, to destroy the rule of law and the Constitution itself. Fein says failure to convict Trump will give license to future presidents to break the law.
