January 6 Committee to Conclude by Asking DOJ to Prosecute Trump
Breitbart ^ | 12/19/2022 | JOEL B. POLLAK

Posted on 12/19/2022 7:18:08 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

The Democrats’ January 6 Committee will conclude its “investigation” on Monday by asking the Department of Justice (DOJ) to prosecute former President Donald Trump, though the committee lacks constitutional authority to do so.

Congressional committees must be organized for a legislative purpose, not as part of a law enforcement action, which is a function of the executive branch under the separation of power in the Constitution.

Nevertheless, the January 6 Committee — in what is expected to be its final act before a Republican-led House takes over next month — is expected to ask the DOJ to prosecute Trump for what it says are multiple crimes.

That was their plan all along. The biden administration is corrupt, and his “justice” department is a criminal enterprise.

The USA has become a joke.

EVERY MEMBER of that ‘panel’ needs to be removed from any and ALL committee assignments, period. You cut them off from committees and you cut off their lobby money. Let’s see what the new SPEAKER does.

Congress doesn’t have that power…the article points this out, but says they’re doing it anyway.

The other thing they want to do before they go is to pass a law that prohibits Trump from running for any office again.

I don’t see how that’s even remotely constitutional , but they’re going to try it anyway. That’s their strategy.

Why did they bother with the hearings, this was the foregone conclusion from the start.

If that morphs into an attempt at prosecution, then it's really just a Bill of Attainder in a shiny package.

Interesting trick. Two can play that game. The next congress can pass a law that prohibits Biden from running for any office again.

It is a bill of pains and penalties, which is a lesser form of a bill of attainder.

Every member off this kangaroo court was appointed by Nancy Pelosi. This is the same vindictive piece of excrement that tried to impeach Trump twice. Remember her snit fit when she tore up Trump's State of the Union Speech in front of America & the world? She and her ever loyal side kick Adam Schiff are the lowest swamp scum in Washington, DC.
