webfact Posted December 16, 2022 Share 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.

Isaan sailor Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 CNN? Do they still broadcast? What happened to Reliable Sources? Cuomo gone, Don Lemon moved to daytime.

If he has done something wrong then do it. But for heavens sake at least make it look even and start prosecuting the corrupt FBI and start looking at Hunter and Bidens corruption.

In any case it takes too long. Anybody "normal" would already sit in pre-trial custody given the amount, meaningfulness and available evidence. The most annoying thing here is as well the open demonstration to the world how a person of influence and wealth can severely bend the American system of justice to his own benefit.

It’s some kind of far right fantasy to twist things around and try to make mundane stuff conspiratorial. Cuomo sacked because of his sexual misconduct. Soon after Jeff Zucker resigned too. 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. Trump will fade away but CNN will still be around. No one really give a hoot to the NFT salesman. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The left are constantly riling up the right by being uneven - some think that deliberate - I'm one of them 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Tropposurfer Posted December 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 17, 2022 If this Jack Smith guy is as sh!t hot as they say he is then there are more-than-likely a whole bunch of Senators, Governor Generals of State's, Governors, House or Rep's members, lawyers, media personalities, Ginny "Im Crazy as a Loon' Thomas, perhaps her husband(?), members of the Secret Service, White House Staffers right up to and including Meadows, business people (dark money, and open funders) scared witless. Personally I hope they get every last mothers son of them and lock them up in Federal prisons for decades each. Beginning with the Traitor in Chief Trump. 5 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If actual treason was involved I'm sure a certain person would have been charged with it already. If they can't find treason to pin on him after nearly 2 years it is likely to not exist. It's not like they haven't been trying to find something that will stick in an actual court of law. Anything can be made political if desired . 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've had almost 2 years to find something to pin on him, and the best they can do is refer something to the DOJ in the final days of the committee's existence. If he was on record as saying "invade the Capitol building and hang them all" that'd be a crime, but he didn't say anything like that. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
