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.

That they indict him has always been a given - I wonder what comes next. Trump will say”so what, witch hunt” - what will they say and do?

An 0bama appointed judge that is clearly biased against Trump & the J6 defendants.

I think the TDS and Trump hatred is just a cover. It really doesn’t make any sense when you pull back and think about it. It’s just what we say to avoid reality. The hard to face reality that almost everyone in DC are criminals that are robbing us blind and would have no problem shiving us and our kids and stealing all our wealth and burying us all in a ditch.

Its hard to come to terms with that. If we do, then we need to have an adult conversation about what we’re going to do about it. We have to figure out what to do if our general falls in battle. That’s really really hard.

It’s much easier to make excuses - Mean tweets - Funny hair - Basketball cards - and just kick the can down the road, pretending not to see the problem.

If we’re ever called to account, we have a million excuses.

I know I’m preaching to the choir.... just felt like preaching. XD

These jerkwads deserve any grief doled out to them.

So you have not looked at his WEF Profile, his speeches and chats and interviews with Klaus where he discusses how much he was enjoying Davos and how many new friends and connections he made. Y’all were too busy focusing on ‘selectively mute Heidi’
Peruse that, chew on it and get back to me.

Bears repeating. We live in a new era of "times that try mens' souls".

I have never seen a single man make so many enemies of America seethe in absolute rage. Which is weird since he’s best the president in my life time (Not to say he was perfect) . Kind of makes you think.

LMAO. Donald Trump is a man of connections. A man of strategy. He does not alienate people. Keeps them close. Rush talked about this extensively before he died.
You obviously do not have a clue about the old saying, “keep your friends close but, keep your enemies closer.”
It’s only when the man is overtly attacked that he overtly responds in kind. And, in spades.

If I’m not mistaken, didn’t he go there and pretty much tell them to F**k Off?

As regards this “Davos” issue, I think I’ll decide on the merits of what Trump actually DID, rather than anyone’s innuendo:

— Withdrew from the climate change pact
— Emphasized the sovereignty of Israel by, among other things, moving the embassy to Jerusalem
— Did his best to protect our sovereign borders
— Attain energy independence by bringing barrels and barrels of nasty oil to the surface (and selling it abroad)

@etc.

All of those things drive Klaus and the globalist Davos crowd insane! As does the very concept of Make America Great Again.

I recommend charging everyone on the J6 Committee with treason.

What’s that saying I hear on FR a lot:

“Show me the man and I will show you the crime”

This definitely applies to the U.S. DOJ, doesnt it? They can charge anyone with anything!

They’re out of control. Simple.

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

Yet they were pushing for this even before Trump announced his 2024 run. And if the Rats really are as good at voter fraud as claimed by many Freepers then they don't need to indict Trump on anything, just rig the elections again. Something does not add up here.

“The most terrifying force of death comes from the hands of “Men who wanted to be left Alone.”

They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love.

They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it.

They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over.

The moment the “Men who wanted to be left Alone” are forced to fight back, it is a small form of suicide. They are literally killing off who they used to be.

This is why, when forced to take up violence, these “Men who wanted to be left Alone,” fight with unholy vengeance against those who murdered their former lives. They fight with raw hate and a drive that cannot be fathomed by those who are merely play-acting at politics and terror. TRUE TERROR will arrive at the Left’s door, and they will cry, scream, and beg for mercy... but it will fall upon deaf ears.“

>> Something does not add up here.

Irrational blind hatred is by definition irrational.

Then you give the same benefit of doubt to any one associated with the WEF and other Agenda Contributors?
