Politico is reporting: Jan. 6 panel to vote on urging DOJ to prosecute Trump on at least three criminal charges. www.politico.com/…
We’re talking about insurrection, obstruction of an official proceeding, and conspiracy to defraud the United States government.
More charges could be added, such as, assholery in public.
Love this part:
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.
Also this:
A Trump spokesperson denounced the committee’s plans.
“The January 6th un-Select Committee held show trials by Never Trump partisans who are a stain on this country’s history,” said Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung in a statement. “This Kangaroo court has been nothing more than a Hollywood executive’s vanity documentary project that insults Americans’ intelligence and makes a mockery of our democracy.”
When it comes to that sort of stuff the man knows whereof he speaks.
It’s well worth the read.
