ANNAPOLIS, Md. — Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, a Republican weighing a 2024 White House bid, said Monday he believes former President Donald Trump is “at his lowest point ever,” as the House Jan. 6 committee wrapped up its investigation into what Hogan described as “one of the darkest days in American history.”
In an interview with The Associated Press shortly before the committee released its recommendations, Hogan said he believes the former president should be held accountable, after he “inflamed kind of a riotous mob to go attack the seat of our democracy.” However, the outgoing, term-limited governor was not specific about how Trump should be held accountable.
“I’m not a lawyer and don’t know what kind of legal accountability he should have, but I thought it was one of the darkest days in American history,” Hogan said, adding that the president bore some responsibility for what happened.
“The people that try to whitewash Jan. 6 as if nothing happened are delusional. It was an assault on democracy,” he said.
Later in the day, the House committee urged the Justice Department to bring criminal charges against Trump and his allies, wrapping up its investigation of the violent 2021 Capitol insurrection with what lawmakers called a “roadmap to justice.”
In the interview, Hogan said he did not know whether Trump would benefit politically from a criminal prosecution, though he said the FBI’s August raid of Mar-a-Lago, Trump’s resort home in Palm Beach, Florida, “got his supporters all fired up.”
“I think President Trump is at a low point in his career,” Hogan said. “I mean, I think he peaked in November of 2020, and, you know, it was slow to erode some of the base,

A Rove Republican trying to get rid of the most powerful Republican.
“...got the goods on Trump.”
Yeah, like anybody on God’s green earth (now partially snow-covered) could ever DELIVER these “goods” in a coherent and plausible manner. Better men than Larry Hogan have tried and failed. Even Adam Schiff is floundering in trying to marshal his thoughts. But Adam Schiff flounders anyway, so who can tell?
Even if Hogan makes a valid point, he has zero credibility so no one outside the Beltway will ever listen to him.
Also like many of the Trump haters on this site, why even mention him if he is so finished? Or maybe they just like to whistle Dixie.
I hope his campaign spends a lot of money in New Hampshire. It won't last much past the NH Presidential Primary. I doubt he will get more than 10 percent of the votes here, and he may not even beat Vermin Supreme.
That is delusional thinking. McCarthy won by 85% in his district. Hogan won as governor. So instead you want to nominate more more right wing candidates who will lose in their moderate districts? You really want republican party to shrink so bad, it becomes irrelevant? All third parties and libertarians are irrelevant because they lose elections.
The Deep Stater doth protest too much, methinks...
Just shut up, Larry HogMan.
F Hogan.
LOL!
Why does anyone think that anyone outside of Annapolis cares about Hogan's opinion on anything?
Bkmk
🤪😁😅
“Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, a Republican weighing a 2024 White House bid,”
Lockdown Larry has gone all in on doing Standup now that he is no longer Governator?
Schiff is one of the biggest liars to ever hold any kind of office of responsibility. The real criminal (and there are many others who are in cahoots with him) is Schiff. I’m 100% certain that, if charges were brought up against Schiff, he would spend many years in prison. He proceeded with the RussiaGate investigation, even when he knew that the Steele dossier was completely bogus. In a court of law, he would be disbarred and prosecuted and imprisoned for his part in the Russia hoax. He could have stopped the investigations and the hoax almost immediately after it was known to be a complete fabrication.
Hogans Zeroes
Good one bro.
Hogan = 💩

Exactly! Stinks to high heaven! I wouldn’t give the turd the time of day.
Our country is at its lowest point in a decade.

Well brace yourself because it’s going to get a lot worse.
“Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan: Trump ‘at his lowest point ever’”
The BEST THING that Trump has going for him are these clowns telling me not to vote for him. I was actually wavering on Trump based on the last election...now if Trump is on the ticket, he gets my vote, as much to stick it to Larry Hogan and everyone like him.
Guess what, Larry, you scrofulous toad ..

Scrofulous! Had to look it up. Good word I’ve not seen on FR before. Thanks for using it.
