The January 6th Committee Is Out To Make Trump A Criminal
The Jan. 6 committee has plans to issue criminal referrals for Donald Trump to the Department of Justice.
GALLAGHER: I mean here is Jim Acosta on CNN weighing in on Trump being indicted through the Department of Justice.
ACOSTA: The House Select Committee investigating January 6 prepares for its final act. In less than 24 hours the panel is expected to make criminal referrals to the Justice Department recommending the prosecution of former President Donald Trump. The referrals are expected to include the charges of insurrection, obstruction of an official proceeding, and conspiracy to defraud the federal government. It will be the culmination of almost a year-and-a-half investigation into the former President Trump, his allies and the attempt to overturn the 2020 election.
GALLAGHER: That is an excited Jim Acosta. They are all hoping and praying it happens. They will feel so vindicated. If you ever needed an example of how corrupt the media is. Just remember 12 seconds.
TRUMP: I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.
GALLAGHER: I’m sure people say oh there is Gallagher playing that clip again. You know why? Because nobody else does. It is astounding how they always leave that out and it is so clear what they are doing. Here is Adam Schiff. One of the guys of the Jan. 6th committee with Jake Tapper yesterday on CNN.
SCHIFF: I think that the evidence is there that Donald Trump committed criminal offenses in connection with his efforts to overturn the election. And viewing it as a former prosecutor, I think there’s sufficient evidence to charge the president. I don’t —
TAPPER: To get a conviction, though?
SCHIFF: Well, I don’t know what the Justice Department has. I do know what’s in the public record. The evidence seems pretty plain to me. But I would want to see the full body of evidence, if I were in the prosecutor’s shoes, to make a decision. But, you know, this is someone who in multiple ways tried to pressure state officials to find votes that didn’t exist. This is someone who tried to interfere with a joint session, even inciting a mob to attack the Capitol. If that’s not criminal, then — then I don’t know what is.
GALLAGHER: Yup. If telling people to go peacefully protest on the Capitol isn’t an insurrection and criminal, I don’t know what is, says Adam Schiff.
