The House select committee examining the Jan. 6 attack at the U.S. Capitol is holding its final public meeting.

 

The panel is expected to consider criminal referrals for former President Donald Trump and possibly for other figures who played a role in the failed attempt to overturn the 2020 election.

 

This week, the committee, which will be disbanded at the end of the year, is expected to also release a comprehensive report with findings and recommendations from its 18-month investigation.

Here are the charges

Representative Jaime Raskin, a Maryland Democrat, announced the following charges against Donald Trump had been recommended to the Department of Justice:

• Obstruction of an official proceeding
• Conspiracy to defraud the United States
• Conspiracy to make a false statement
• Inciting, assisting, aiding, or comforting an insurrection

These referrals are not legally binding, but Raskin said they have ample evidence to back up their recommendations.

The justice department is conducting its own separate investigation into the riot.

Get her done!!!off to the hoosegow for old Donnie!Im sure the DOJ has much more in depth information than what we have seen trump is very very lucky it’s America in many countries he would be in prison allready or worse what a cartoon of a president trump was and that scares the you know what out of most rational folks ready to ruin America just for his fragile ego 

Off-topic post and reply removed.  The topic is NOT about Hunter Biden.  Not even close. 

And to think, it only took 2 years to get this far!  Actually, 6 years is more like it.

My own conjecture here, I think Garland (and Biden) stalled on going after them so as not to appear like a banana republic (not to be confused with a Banana Republicans) -- e.g. a few weeks ago in Peru they impeached the president and he was immediately arrested. 

The GOP stalwarts are saying this makes the country look bad, but we're already there, people in other countries have been asking how we can let this guy get away with it.  On foreign policy alone the way DT treated the European leaders and allowed Putin to do to him whatever it was that makes him so submissive apparently sent a stronger message to the world than to 35% of the voters in the US.

 

 

La La land.

I'm thinking it is about 50 years overdue. The guy is a lifelong habitual criminal, a 1 man crime wave.

 

Of coarse the cult followers don't believe any of it to be true even though out of the more than 1000 witnesses that testified, the vast majority were republicans that worked directly for 45.

 

To wonder why the country is so divided just take a look at what FOX is reporting today. I just now looked at FOX online and there is NO mention of this at all, just as there was NO mention of the Trump Org. being found guilty of 17 counts of fraud.

 

Imagine a president being referred for criminal prosecution for the first time in American history, and the #1 rated information (entertainment not real news) program in the country doesn't even cover it.

 

Freedom of speech is one thing but this alternate universe of bogus information needs to stop. It is the biggest danger to the entire world. Facts just don't matter anymore.

Well, it's not completely hopeless...

 

‘Entire nation knows who is responsible’ McConnell takes aim at Trump for Jan. 6

Delightful indictment watch. Who will the first to indict Trump on criminal charges. Will it be DOJ or the state of Georgia. Rubbing my hands with glee and joyful expectation. Will Santa deliver his orange jumpsuit? Ho ho ho Merry Christmas.
