House Jan. 6 Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) said Monday he expects the Justice Department will ultimately charge former President Trump after the panel approved multiple criminal referrals for Trump.
“If the evidence is as we presented it, I’m convinced the Justice Department will charge former President Trump. No one, including a former president, is above the law,” Thompson said in an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper moments after the conclusion of the panel’s final public meeting on Monday.
Thompson and the panel’s other members took the unprecedented step of voting on four criminal referrals for Trump: obstruction of an official proceeding, conspiracy to defraud the U.S., conspiracy to make a false statement and efforts to “incite,” “assist” or “aid or comfort” an insurrection.
The decision is a reversal from when Thompson in June indicated the committee would not make criminal referrals for Trump, telling reporters, “no, that’s not our job.”

Democrat convinced democrat will charge Republican. Who’d a guessed?
And the reporting continues to omit what the Committee is going to recommend to Congress re legislation and policy.
The bar that they set for criminality is far above what they have done. I wonder if they really want the splash back?
For 35 years I had to put up with Bennie Thompson and his minions in Mississippi. Any meeting of the legislature in Mississippi only allowed the population to see the corruption and ignorance of those representatives coming from the blue Mississippi Delta and Jackson. They are the same in D.C. I’m convinced that the ballot box will no longer suffice as now we need the cartridge box. These people wish us the same and are using the government to obtain their horrific goals. Anyone that states differently is ignoring the obvious.
I’m fairly convinced that Trump will be charged by the DOJ. That has nothing to do with Trump committing any crime and everything to do with DOJ employees subverting the will of American voters. There’s a special place in hell for government employees.
IGNORE THIS AT YOUR PERIL, AMERICA.
Not above the law unless you are a demoncrap
I’ll join you in that, ChicagoConservative2.
This poorly disguised travesty of an ‘investigation’? Purely one sided, with no opportunity to rebut any of the preconceived garbage they were cultivating? One sided (libturd) make up of the ‘committee’?
And, now? A dhimmicrap committee recommends criminal referral of a former President to a dhimmicrap lackey of an Attorney General?
Nothing to see, here. Move along.
This is how America Dies.
“convinced” = pre coordinated among the Deep State.
You mean it might not be?
Research Thompson’s personal actions as a black supremacist.
Yeah, as if there was a legislative purpose of the committee.
Evil is as evil does.
I guess you don’t get hyperbole.
Evil people can’t get anything done unless they can bribe or intimidate normal people.
I laugh every single time I hear one of these commies yell out how NO ONE is above the law..yeah no one except Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, Frank Biden, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Eric Swalwell, Adam Schiff, Nancy Pelosi, I can go on and on and on and on..but wait, I know I know, they are ALL DEMS so no one is above the law except for Dems..only a Dem can be accused of rape and not ONE peep from the commie press..only Dems can be accused of repeatedly molesting their own daughter, forcing her to shower with him, get his FBI to break into a journalists home to retrieve the diary, and not a peep from the commie press because he’s a Dem so spare me the “No one is above the law” BS
Thanks for having the courage to point this out. I have long thought the same but didn’t voice it...well not directly any way.
