President Trump, son Donald Trump Jr. and Rudy Giuliani may all be investigated and charged for their potential roles in inciting a violent mob that stormed the U.S. Capitol, Washington, DC’s top prosecutor suggested on Friday.
In an interview with “Good Morning America,” D.C. hard-left Attorney General Karl Racine, whose office is investigating dozens of rioters, laid the blame at the feet of the president for his speech.
“I think the question is, how far up does it go? Clearly, the Capitol was ground central in all of this mob’s behavior,” Racine said.
“Donald Trump Jr., Giuliani, even the president of the United States, were calling on their supporters and hate groups to go to the Capitol and, in the words of Rudy Giuliani, ‘exercise combat justice,’” he went on.
In a call with reporters Thursday, Michael Sherwin, the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, said his office would look at anyone involved in the riot who broke the law.
“We are looking at all actors here. Was there a command and control? Were there others that maybe assisted or facilitated or obviously played some ancillary role in this?” Sherwin said.
“Anyone that had a role, and the evidence fits the elements of a crime, they’re going to be charged,” he said.
When asked if that included the commander-in-chief, Sherwin responded: “I don’t want to sound like a broken record. We’re looking at all actors here.”

If the DC AG actually charges them, then he will be charging himself next because he will REALLY start a riot.
Here, iate at night, searching for insight on what is occuring in our country, the two things that are most apparent are blatent censorship, and leftist propaganda. The former is so intense that I am doubting that even these brief comments will be allowed. We are a country under siege. I hope that IS can continue to get the truth… Read more »
This government is totally corrupt and it’s beyond redemption. We’ve tried everything within its system and they are proven useless. There are only two options left: we do something ,or we perish in the silence. One of the most important conditions for a peaceful or not so peaceful revolution is to have a base area,a foothold where we can make… Read more »
They might but only if the CCP demands it.
Let’s enjoy a nice steaming pile of unity, comrade.
Be careful out there Emmanuel Trumpstein and family, it’s looking like Russia 1917-1918 in the forecast.
How to tell if Trump is the real deal? He gets the Czar Nicholas II treatment, figuratively or literally, and you could say it has already begun. What if the Kabuki Theater was all about driving the final assassin’s mace into the first amendment? Remember the great Frank Zappa quote: “The illusion of freedom [in America] will continue as long… Read more »
