Jan. 6 committee refers Trump to DOJ on 4 criminal charges

For months, the January 6 committee went back-and-forth over whether it would refer former President Donald Trump to the Justice Department for criminal prosecution. On Monday, the committee didn’t equivocate and referred Trump to the DOJ on at least four criminal charges, including: Obstructing an official proceeding, defrauding the United States, making false statements, and assisting or aiding an insurrection
The panel said in its executive summary that it had evidence of possible charges of conspiring to injure or impede an officer and seditious conspiracy. CNN's Sara Murray reports.

Can we now do the same for those of the GOP who aided and abetted Trump's coup?

[bohdanburban]

As Winston Churchill once quipped: you can always trust the Americans to do the right thing, after they've exhausted all other options.

Trump should have been arrested without bail till this was all worked out. Suspect things might have moved faster under those circumstances.

If this man is not convicted our democracy is still very much in trouble.

If only there was an NFT that commemorates this.😂

I guess now we Find out. If THE LAW is only to be obeyed by Poor. While Rich Powerful don’t have to obey our Laws. If TRUMP gets away with this an GOP also gets away with this Then my Uncle’s who Buried in ARLINGTON CEMETERY died for NOTHING. Should have never fought for this Country If TRUMP IS ABOVE THE LAW. An if I had someone close in my family in military I think ask them to quit. Keep this country safe for what so TRUMP CAN BE ABOVE THE LAW. No thank you.

All this means is that the committee is RECOMMENDING things. It doesn’t mean he’s going to be arrested.

Not YET.

Boy, did this session of Congress get a lot done. Now let's get his taxes released for others to use to get convictions.

Hey, Mike Pence: When Trump was telling people that you betrayed the nation, and they were chanting "Hang Mike Pence" at the Capitol, was that "taking bad lawyer advice."

[EricAllen]

#GOP #Ironically want subpoena powers yet refuse to comply themselves.

[chadl]

They need to go after them all for Rico because Trump was running a business the government so they can go after them for Rico

[haroldpretorius]

This is a no-brainer. This man belongs in jail. He has for so many years it’s beyond ridiculous

[pokey]

I love the way Liz scolds Donald. He must be throwing ketchup at the tv screen.🤣

[peterjohnson]

Now it's for the DOJ to do its duty

[Linda-ions]

I'm English. I don't know much about American law. If the DOJ decides to indict trump will he be arrested straight away?. I don't suppose he will be held on remand untill the trial. So will he be given bail?

[ianreed]

Trump in 2016-"I don't pay any taxes because I'm smart."
NY jury in 2022-"We hereby find Donald J. Trump guilty on all 17 counts of tax fraud."
😂😂😂😂😂

[journeymansmitty]
