J6 committee to recommend charges against Trump
POLITICO ^ | Dec 16 | POLITICO

Posted on 12/16/2022 5:04:27 PM PST by RandFan

J6 committee to recommend charges against Trump:

18 U.S.C. 2383, insurrection; 18 U.S.C. 1512(c), obstruction of an official proceeding; and 18 U.S.C. 371, conspiracy to defraud the United States government

To justify incitement of insurrection, the report references U.S. District Court Judge Amit Mehta’s February ruling saying Trump’s language plausibly incited violence on Jan. 6, 2021, when a mob of his supporters besieged the Capitol in a bid to disrupt congressional certification of his loss to Joe Biden. The report also cites the Senate’s 57 votes in last year’s impeachment trial, Trump’s second, to convict him on an “incitement of insurrection” charge passed by the House.

The select panel’s report also notes that, in order to violate the insurrection statute, Trump did not need an express agreement with rioters — but rather, simply needed to provide “aid or comfort” to them.

A select committee spokesperson declined to comment.

Who is surprised? This was the plan all along. It’s Trump hatred syndrome all over again.

If he was guilty then why didn’t the Senate move to convict?

They need a conviction to argue against why he shouldn’t be allowed to run for President.

I mean, that’s the reason pelosi formed and then stacked this commission with her hand-picked idiots.

There was no reality that could exist without this “committee” doing this. It was intended to do just as it has done.

Trump did not need an express agreement with rioters — but rather, simply needed to provide “aid or comfort” to them.

OK, but in what way did he provide aid and comfort? In the speech on January 6th President Trump said, “I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.”

They can’t get one, so..., Congress should pass a bill to attaint him and corrupt his blood. Attaint his whole family and pass a bill of pains and penalties against his other relatives!

(Sorry, I get that way every time I put on my Hillary “I’m with her” baseball cap....)

The committee needs to receive a big shipment of bananas with cameras running to record the passing of the republic.

No one fears Trump. He EO’d the groundwork for the WEF, is listed as a WEF Agenda Contributor. The party is a mess, a joke, a laughing stock. Folks are fleeing it. We are already dead, we just don’t know it.

To this end, using the Brunson gang of 388 would work just fine.

I’m shocked, I’m shocked. This report is the equivalent of saying “*hit Stinks”.

Yes. He spoke there. But, the following article states what he said.

Chew on this and then get back to me.
