webfact Posted December 16, 2022 Posted December 16, 2022 Former President Donald Trump attends a rally to support Republican candidates ahead of midterm elections, in Dayton, Ohio, November 7, 2022. By Jamie Gangel and Katelyn Polantz, CNN CNN — The House select committee investigating January 6, 2021, is considering asking the Justice Department to pursue multiple charges against former President Donald Trump, according to a source familiar with the matter. The charges being considered include obstruction of an official proceeding and conspiracy to defraud the federal government. The recommendations match allegations the select committee made against Trump and his elections attorney John Eastman in a previous court proceeding seeking Eastman’s emails.

Fox and CBS to have similar sackings and resignations due to sexual misconducts. CNN has to reorganize and Don Lemon has to move to daytime as he was an established face.

The left are constantly riling up the right by being uneven - some think that deliberate - I'm one of them Expand Perhaps a different take on the accusation that treatment of, “The Donald” is uneven. After dozens of separate court cases trying to claim an unfair election (certainly the result was uneven … his multiple lies were rejected), and a more than substantial abuse of the courts to try legal maneuvers to stop investigation of wrongdoing, I would say he has been treated more than even … under the law. This particular subject is Donald Trump, not the FBI or any other subject. If there are others doing wrong … well, we should all know the basics … Prosecutor brings charges before a Grand Jury of independent citizens. If they decide there is sufficient evidence, they hand down an indictment against the accused ordering a trial. Then a separate citizen Trial Jury hears both the evidence against the individual and the accused, represented by their Defense attorney (s). Gives the argument for the evidence being insufficient or wrong. All things considered … like the decision by the voters, a decision will be made. Yep, I am betting that “The Donald” and his ilk will face a judgement on his words, actions, policies. Wait, what … several have already been sentenced. 6 1
