Charges for Trump? House committee to wrap up Jan. 6 investigation

The House committee investigating the Capitol riot will make its final public presentation Monday about the unprecedented effort by Donald Trump to overturn the results of the presidential election he lost in 2020. The committee has called it an “attempted coup" that warrants criminal prosecution from the Justice Department.

That is expected to be the committee's closing argument as it wraps up a year-and-a-half-long inquiry and prepares to release a final report detailing its findings about the insurrection in the nation's capital on Jan. 6, 2021, as Congress was certifying Joe Biden's presidential victory. The committee of seven Democrats and two Republicans is set to dissolve at the end of the year.

Monday's meeting will be the committee's 11th public session since forming in July 2021. One of the first hearings, on June 9, was viewed by more than 20 million people.

The committee is expected to make both criminal and civil referrals against the former president and his allies, who, according to lawmakers, broke the law or committed ethical violations.

The committee's chairman, Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., said the referrals may include criminal, ethics violations, legal misconduct and campaign finance violations. Lawmakers have suggested in particular that their recommended charges against Trump could include conspiracy to defraud the United State, obstruction of an official proceeding of Congress and insurrection. #WakeUpCLT #Politics #January6

"carries no legal weight, but..." Hahahaha

[latheman]

7 democrats and 2 Republicans, what happened to justice by your peers?. Finishing up before they lose the house, boy that's convenient.

[jeromebullard]

You’ll get him this time am I right guys? 🤣

[bmbvenom]

This is what happends when children become cry babys who join the court system.

[Skyblade]

Convenient that they’re “wrapping up” as soon as they’re due to lose control. Almost as though this is entirely political instead of fact based.

[Mthomas]

Wow. So much wasted time for a referral. It’s almost like he didn’t do anything.

[ShutUpCatProductions]

The House will be incharge in a few weeks and this will go right out the door. Also. Nice try!

[deadname...]

The Jan 6th clown show planned this this before the investigation even started.

[JFAMcleanings]

How can they still lie with all the evidence against them? They really think the people are dumb! It’s so sad

[YrRTRDD]

"the referrals have no legal weight" that tells the dims everything they need to know. It's been almost 3 years and 7 since they've been trying to catch him in anything and they can't muster up anything at all. Such a sad life they live

[JTguitarlessons]

The answer is no, stop with the propaganda.

[freedomofspeechu]

America can't wait to watch them drag Trump away.

[crimsonthorn]

I have no doubt Shift is being honest when he says he doesn't know what criminal is.

[armadatint]

Imaginary charges for an imaginary insurrection .

[burtstineman]

The people who committed the insurrection did so on their own. The had a choice, nobody made them do it.

[richardrichard]

What about the insurrection that lit a guard shack on fire in front of the White House and burned a church in DC? And actually killed an officer.

[siddhrajdhadhal]

Will never happen, thanks to loopholes in the law

Lock him up, lock him up, lock him up!
Shame!

Every President must uphold the rule of law including immigration policy’s. Rather than addressing inflation, aiding citizens and like actions we are stuck on the past. And when looking towards the future it does not look very bright should we allow mass immigrants to flood into Country.

It’s simple, 80k IRS agents will be hired, those agents will recoup monies from low to middle class families, which those funds will pay for benefits for migrants”. Where is all the money coming from to support our citizens let alone mass migrants ? We do not have the money to support ourselves let alone 4k-8k new residents a day.

To address this problem travel to the root, stop the corruption in their homeland. Teach one to fish rather than simply supplying them a single meal.
