Watch Live: House Jan. 6 committee to vote on criminal referrals, final report at last meeting

Washington — The House Jan. 6 committee is holding what is expected to be its final meeting on Monday, when members will vote on formally adopting the committee's final report and possible criminal referrals to the Justice Department.

The proceedings mark the culmination of the panel's nearly 18-month-long investigation into the attack on the U.S. Capitol, which featured testimony from dozens of witnesses and a series of high-profile hearings that examined the assault and former President Donald Trump's role in stoking his supporters to storm the building.

The committee is expected to make criminal referrals to the Justice Department for potential prosecution, although the members have not confirmed who they will refer.

Referrals by Congress are solely recommendations, and the Justice Department is under no obligation to bring charges against those referred for prosecution. Still, the committee's referrals could increase political pressure on the department to act, and lawmakers could unveil new evidence in their final report that federal prosecutors have not yet accessed.

Moving toward a banana republic. Put the past leaders under criminal charges. When will this end?

Then immediate indictments by Biden/Biden puppeteer/DOJ....Then, possibly, all charges dropped.


They don’t need to drop the charges. The ‘crimes’ would have been committed in the District of Columbia where trials will have to be held—in front of D.C. jurors. If DOJ thinks they can pull this off while avoiding a real ‘insurrection’ they will.

Spare me. Get your facts straight. The rally was organized by “Women for America First” and Trump along with many more were invited to speak. And when the hell should a President not stand tall at our nation’s capital?

“ in the District of Columbia where trials will have to be held—in front of D.C. jurors”

Exactly why it was foolish to hold his rally in DC. I could name 20 cities that made more sense for a rally, most of them in the South, but not all. If he’d held it in Wyoming, there would have been no antifa riots, no Dem manipulation, no DC jail holding Trump supporters in solitary confinement, no deep state shenanigans, no phones talk about “insurrection”. Trump made a BIG MISTAKE

Trump should have told them to switch locations or cancel altogether. You didn’t have to be a weatherman to know which way the wind was blowing - and that having a rally in DC was giving the folks who run DC - Dems, Deep State, and antifa - an opportunity to stage a phoney insurection and take Trump and his followers down

Women for Trump organization are selfish idiots for not realizing this, IMO - but in the end Trump could have forced them to relocate in the name of safety and common sense

It should have been held in Tulsa , OK, or Cheyenne Wyo, or some other town not run by Dems, Deep State, and antifa

In an ideal world you’d be right. But reality is different. DC is capital of the deep state and the Dems, totally controlled by passionate haters of MAGA and conservatives. That’s why no MAGA person would want to be tried by a DC jury, even though it’s technically “the nations capital”

The only mistake he made was believing that somewhere in the halls of Congress were men and women of Courage. The American people made a mistake too: by not showing up in the tens of millions. Watch the end of the Classic film “Billy Budd”; that explains what happened on January 6th, notwithstanding the deep state entrapment operations.

The DOJ won’t indict Trump, because they know that an actual insurrection will look quite different than the January 6th riots.

If Trump had held his rally in Boise or Chattanooga or Rush’s home town in Indiana we wouldn’t be having this conversation. Instead, he held it on Nancy Pelosi’s turf, where there was a history of antifa being allowed to terrorize Trump rallies - starting with his inaugural rally in Jan 2017.

This was an unforced error by Trump. And a big one.

Meme idea:

Looking over the shoulders of the J6 Committee as they take a paper test.

There’s a math problem on the paper.

Comic word bubble over their heads with the words- Math is hard.

“ The FBI approves your message, alwayscheney..”

The deep state LOVED Trumps decision to hold his rally on their home turf. It gave them the perfect opportunity to frame him and they took it.

“ Crawl back to DU”

Does DU claim that Trump and his supporters were set up by antifa and the deep state? That’s what I believe. And that’s why I believe Trump was foolish to do his rally in a city controlled by deep state.
