Jan. 6 panel argues Trump was involved in ‘criminal conspiracy’ to overturn election
NBC News ^ | March 2nd, 2022 | Phil Helsel and Garrett Haake

The House committee said in a court filing that members of the Trump campaign may have been involved, as well.

The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol argued in a new court filing that former President Donald Trump and members of his campaign were part of a conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election results.

“The Select Committee ... has a good-faith basis for concluding that the President and members of his Campaign engaged in a criminal conspiracy to defraud the United States,” the panel wrote in a legal brief filed Wednesday.

The filing focuses largely on John Eastman, a Trump-allied lawyer who wrote memos arguing that then-Vice President Mike Pence could overturn the election. The committee previously subpoenaed Eastman to turn over documents but said he claims they are protected by attorney-client privilege.

Remember, it’s a crime to try to stop Democrats when they commit fraud and steal an election

No one is allowed to question anything they do

Just like Putin’s party....

Anyone remember the real fear the Democrats were going to flip electors in 2016 by public shaming and such? This is such a non-story, except that it involves Trump.

The J6 committee is not and never was a legitimate investigation.

It’s members are traitors to the constitution and attempting to illegally and unconstitutionally destroy the democratic process AND our Republic.

Much like Pelosi did with tearing up the SOTU speech.

They don’t care about America - they care only about their own power.

it’s time to put them out to pasture.

Democrats were part of a conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election results.

All evidence supports this.

All claims otherwise are baseless.

Lol “good faith”. This farcical witch hunt is the farthest thing from good faith. It wasn’t an investigation it was a script.

Is it criminal to try to overturn a fraudulent election?

The left has been praising the Ukrainian civilians for fighting the Russians with some of the same military-grade weapons they want to take away from US, the same weapons which Biden condemned in the SOTU address!

This is their reaction to that speech Biden gave Tuesday. People are amazed that the people running our country, Biden, Harris, Pelosi are so bad in every way that they are reeling.

The side that actually is/was involved in a criminal conspiracy to steal the election,

accuses the one they stole the election from,

of being in a criminal conspiracy to steal the election

You don’t need a SOTU speech to know this.

[[good-faith basis]]

The panel makes me sick- such freakin liars- couching their betrayal of America in their asinine bald-faced lie of a claim of their ‘good faith basis’ conclusion

This just might turn out to produce some very interesting depositions.

[[Remember, it’s a crime to try to stop Democrats when they commit fraud and steal an election]]

And that is what it all boils down to too- The left are engaged in a hostile takeover, and if anyone tries to stand i n their way, they will be punished severely for it- just like the jan 6 political prisoners are-

But what is even more disgusting is that the right are not making a HUGE stink about the jan 6 political prisoners- even after one committed suicide because he was treated so badly for simply walling into the capitol building-

The jan 6 investigation panel murdered that man-

i said the the day that if our country were invaded, and civilians got ACTUAL ‘weapons of war’ like automatic rifles, the left would immediately arrest them and turn them over to the enemy that invaded-

The exact opposite is true. The Democrats engaged in a criminal conspiracy and DID steal the election. It is obvious.

Oh. I think a lot of libs, regular working stiffs. who thrive on leftist media and its editing, watching that performance last night, got a real view of the level of lunacy there is in and around the White House

A family member texted me saying I should put in for disability for the burn pile. Uh. That’s thirty years ago. Biden said that just to bring up beau. He can’t speak without bringing up beau. Or his dead wife. But I digress. This family member had to. Throw something positive out there out of awkwardness. Embarrassment.

I don’t talk politics with fam. They know that. The libs think not talking politics is my not talking politics. That’s ok. They are completely uninformed. No exaggeration

But they got a dose of information last night.
