Haberman: Trump insiders say he sees 2024 campaign as a shield

Wolf Blitzer talks with CNN political analysts Gloria Borger and Maggie Haberman, as well as legal analyst Elliot Williams, after a source told CNN the Jan. 6 committee is weighing referrals for former President Trump on conspiracy to defraud the federal government and obstruction of official proceedings. #CNN #News

Trump said he wants to give his side of the 1/6 events. Did I miss when he sat for the committee when ordered?

The obstruction charges alone would fill a book. Charge him already!

The fact that Trump was once the President of the United States baffles me. He was, and still is, the laughing stock of the world.

A shield from prosecution cannot be 'candidacy in an election'. If that were true all defendants would run for office. How can you swear to uphold the law and violate it at the same time ? he cannot be sworn in.

I need to stop checking the Trump news. It makes me bitter, that he still walks free from all of this.

[zoltore]

Honestly, I wish I never heard the name Donald Trump.

It says something that trying to overthrow the government carries less penalties then stealing a car

[richardlong]

Yes some people have got convicted and have received prison time yet the true perpetrators of this entire mess that had the most to gain are still free and many were reelected to office, shameful.

Im surprised that the committee didn’t recommend that Trump be charged with seditious conspiracy.

When you don’t recognize a con man, that means you are the mark.

[maryveron]

Wait until he hears that he’s banned from ever holding office again! 🤣🤣 Ketchup flying everywhere!

[justjackie]

Like WE don't already know that !!
LOCK HIM UP
already !!!

[paulvandal]

Delusion has always been his best suit and now it's his best shield.

[yllbardh]

in Germany coup perpetrators behind bars, while in USA they're in the bar

[toladeeadeliyi]

No man is above the law. What more does he need to do to get indicted ? Shoot someone on 5th avenue? 😟. Everyone should be the same under the law!

[sprockethead]

"Considering"? CONSIDERING??? Good grief, refer him already.

[savannahm.laurentian]

His first campaign was a fundraiser and shield. His presidency was a fundraiser and a shield. His subsequent "rallies" were fundraisers and shields.😐

[stargirlzx]

how long is this going to drag out before something is done ? yes its unprecedented but SO WHAT ? its been done they need to deal with it

[cjdvkcd]

Justice in this country is a joke. Any normal person would already be in jail long ago. Garland is talking out of his butt when he says nobody is above the law. Either charge the loser now or get off the pot.
