Jan. 6 panel to vote on urging DOJ to prosecute Trump on at least three criminal charges

[F1fan]

During Watergate a fair number of Republicans still had a conscience.

The republican was down to two. N

That's what Trump did, not what they have accomplished. Everyone has seen it.

So again I ask...Its been near two years. What have they accomplished? Lay it all out there.

So you didn't pay attention to the public hearings, nor read reporting on them, and how you want us to provide you Cliff Notes to a report that hasn't been released yet?

Why not just wait to criticize an investigative committee on its work until AFTER they have released their findings, and AFTER you've read it, and understand what it says?

The problem is that there are sooooo many deniers of reality on the Republican side. Also if this goes to a jury there are still too many brainwashed Trump supporters out there. A Trumpista could hang a jury forcing a retrial. It would be very difficult to keep all irrational Trump supporters off of the jury.

I imagine that jury may have an unusually large selection pool and amd extra alts. I don't envy anyone who would get stuck on such a trial.

A jury will be stacked either way IMO. People either like/love Trump or don't like/loathe him.
There is no in between.

Which is why you need a solid case, that doesn't leave much doubt. And also luck.

I keep telling people that Trump is above the law as it is with all major elites in the 1% club.

And yet we had a billionaire get sentenced to more than 11 years of prison not that long ago.

Elizabeth Holmes gets more than 11 years for Theranos scam

He wasn't a high level politician.

Anyone above congress is immune.

He?

 

[Mock Turtle]

If the Supreme Court get involved in any way, no doubt Trump will get off any charges, given it is biased enough so as to not want to see true justice.

 

[Ponder This]

And near 2 years later they haven't accomplished much and still aren't sure on what to do.

Jan. 6 panel to vote on urging DOJ to prosecute Trump on at least three criminal charges

"The Jan. 6 select committee is preparing to vote on urging the Justice Department to pursue at least three criminal charges against former President Donald Trump, including insurrection.

The report that the select panel is expected to consider on Monday afternoon, described to POLITICO by two people familiar with its contents, reflects some recommendations from a subcommittee that evaluated potential criminal referrals. Among the charges that subcommittee proposes for Trump: 18 U.S.C. 2383, insurrection; 18 U.S.C. 1512(c), obstruction of an official proceeding; and 18 U.S.C. 371, conspiracy to defraud the United States government.

It’s unclear whether the select committee's final report will recommend additional charges for Trump beyond the three described to POLITICO, or whether it will urge other criminal charges for other players in Trump's bid to subvert his 2020 loss. The document, according to the people familiar, includes an extensive justification for the recommended charges.

To justify incitement of insurrection, the report references U.S. District Court Judge Amit Mehta’s February ruling saying Trump’s language plausibly incited violence on Jan. 6, 2021, when a mob of his supporters besieged the Capitol in a bid to disrupt congressional certification of his loss to Joe Biden. The report also cites the Senate’s 57 votes in last year's impeachment trial, Trump’s second, to convict him on an “incitement of insurrection” charge passed by the House.

The select panel's report also notes that, in order to violate the insurrection statute, Trump did not need an express agreement with rioters — but rather, simply needed to provide “aid or comfort” to them.

A select committee spokesperson declined to comment.

The Jan 6 committee knows they will be dissolved soon when Republicans take control of the House.

That's quite OK as their work is done. Now whether the DoJ is going to prosecute Trump and/or some others is up to Garland.

That is true. They have to act soon or not at all.
