The Jan. 6 Soviet-style committee is reportedly planning to vote on at least three criminal referrals against former President Trump on Monday.
The political hatchet committee will vote to recommend the Justice Department pursue criminal charges targeting Trump. His alleged crimes are insurrection, obstructing an official proceeding of Congress, and conspiracy to defraud the United States.
The DOJ may or may not consider the referrals. The DOJ is running its own investigation.
Democrats have investigated Donald Trump since 2016 non-stop and have all of his personal, financial, and family documents. They never found anything.
They’re going to use an inappropriate ruling U.S. District Court Judge Amit Mehta in February. It says the language Trump used incited the violence that took place on Jan. 6. Mehta is an Obama judge. It also reportedly points to the 57 senators who voted to convict Trump of incitement of insurrection.
There is no evidence whatsoever that Donald Trump incited an insurrection.
Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung criticized the Jan. 6 committee in a statement to The Hill.
“The January 6th un-Select Committee held show trials by Never Trump partisans who are a stain on this country’s history,” he said. “This Kangaroo court has been nothing more than a Hollywood executive’s vanity documentary project that insults Americans’ intelligence and makes a mockery of our democracy.”
Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), the committee chairman, made it clear they are going after prominent conservatives.
“We’re focused on key players, and we’re focused on key players where there is sufficient evidence or abundant evidence that they committed crimes, and we’re focused on crimes that go right to the heart of the Constitutional order such that the Congress can’t remain silent,” Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), who comes from a communist family, said on Monday.
The five Republican lawmakers who ignored subpoenas from the committee could be included in that “key players” description. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (Calif.) and Reps. Scott Perry (Pa.), Jim Jordan (Ohio), Andy Biggs (Ariz.), and Mo Brooks (Ala.) all ignored requests from the committee.
Raskin indicated five lawmakers who ignored subpoenas from the committee could be referred to the House Ethics Committee based on a constitutional statute.

It’s gonna really make conservatives burp if they throw him in prison.
The January 6th Select Committee is the modern version of the Warren Commission. It’s sole purpose is to deflect actual Blame and rewrite History. The only person to blame for the events of 6 January 2021 is Nancy Pelosi. President Trump authorized protection for the Capitol and Nancy Pelosi turned it down! The January 6th Select Committee completely avoided those facts because the sole purpose of the Committee is to cover up the actions of Nancy Pelosi, the FBI, and probably the CIA. The Deep State is not going to let a President or Congress to take back control of the Government by a vote of the People.
Nancy Pelosi hand picked The January 6th Select Committee from heavily Compromised House Members suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome. In an unprecedented move, Nancy Pelosi refused to allow real Republicans who would seek real answers to sit on the Committee. Three members of the Committee will not be returning to Congress which includes both RINOs. The Committee is truly a Kangaroo Court to provide cover for the DoJ to bring charges against President Trump. This is nothing but another “Stop Trump Action” by the Deep State. How dare the American People elect a President not approved of by the Deep State.
I don’t know if AG Merrick Garland is dumb enough to levy charges against President Trump. Discovery would totally disgrace the Government and make the DoJ and FBI look really foolish. President Trump has knowledge of Information that the DoJ doesn’t have and you don’t take a case like this to court without an air tight case. In the end The January 6th Select Committee referrals will no more than fodder for the late night comics. The real investigation will start in January and result in Nancy Pelosi being referred to the Justice Department.
Excellent!!!
“Practically” any Senator or Congressman could be indicted for obstructing an official proceeding of Congress, and conspiracy to defraud the United States. Most are crooks!
Talk about malicious prosecution…it’s too bad Conservatives no longer enjoy the protection of the Constitution…
Yep. Ironically, They soon may be the ones sneaking across the border.
What a pack of vipers. The “Constitution” they ALL rejected is now their ‘means’ to promote their agenda, via their, and their verminous colleagues in the ‘media’, main stream and social, to dump it…
