#TOMMY RASKIN FACEBOOK TRIAL#
Trump’s Senate trial in February ended in his acquittal, but Raskin’s eloquent speeches, and his emotional invocation of his son’s memory, converted him from a relatively obscure third-term congressman to a national figure. Six days after the insurrection, House Democrats voted to pursue the impeachment of President Donald Trump, and Raskin-a former professor of constitutional law at American University whose district covers about half of Montgomery County-was named the lead manager of the effort. We lost one of the three people most precious to us, and we discovered the precariousness of democracy itself.” In that period of about a week, a lot of basic pillars of my existence were demolished. Jamie says the confluence of the two events-the suicide of their son and the storming of the Capitol-has left an indelible mark: “We experienced the violent attack on Congress and the insurrection against the government, which was a public trauma to accompany our family trauma. Jamie, Tabitha and Hank had gone to the Capitol to witness the ceremonial counting of the Electoral College ballots making Joe Biden president. “I was thinking, has my life taken this dramatic turn where I’m going to be losing my entire family?” Now, Jamie, the couple’s daughter Tabitha, and their daughter Hannah’s husband, Hank Kronick, were all at the Capitol, threatened by a menacing mob. Jamie Raskin, had buried their 25-year-old son, Tommy.
Just the day before, she and her husband, Rep. 6, Sarah Bloom Raskin was home in Takoma Park watching the assault against the U.S. Sarah and Jamie Raskin with their dog Toby at home in Takoma Park.
