WASHINGTON — The House Jan. 6 committee on Thursday unveiled its formal report, the final product of its historic 18-month investigation into the deadly attack on the Capitol and former President Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
"This report will provide greater detail about the multistep effort devised and driven by Donald Trump to overturn the 2020 election and block the transfer of power," Jan. 6 Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., wrote in the forward of the report.
"Building on the information presented in our hearings earlier this year, we will present new findings about Trump’s pressure campaign on officials from the local level all the way up to his Vice President, orchestrated and designed solely to throw out the will of the voters and keep him in office past the end of his elected term,” he wrote.
The committee released the more-than-800-page report days after a final committee meeting at which its nine members — seven Democrats and two Republicans — voted to recommend that the Justice Department pursue criminal charges against Trump as he makes another bid for the White House in 2024.
It was the first time in history that a congressional committee had made criminal referrals for a U.S. president. The Jan. 6 panel, led by Thompson and Vice Chair Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., believes there is enough evidence for the Justice Department to prosecute Trump on four specific charges, including obstruction of an official proceeding — Congress’ certification of electoral votes — and inciting or assisting others in an insurrection.

The panel also urged congressional committees to examine whether to create a “formal mechanism” to evaluate whether to bar Trump and others identified in the report from holding future office under the 14th Amendment.

This whole thing is unconstitutional, IMHO, and its not a tough call. The moment it goes from rhetoric to action anyway.
A Big Nothing Burger .
DNC Media trying to Recycle this Useless act to keep the story alive .
Maybe they could let THE VOTERS DECIDE.
Trump is the biggest threat to their gravy train. He’s got to go.
Oh they don’t want trumpy........... but we do, if not just to stick it up their a##es
Congress has no authority here so this is pure information warfare and an attempt to execute even more lawfare against President Trump.
You mean a bill of attainder? Enh. Why not. It’s just prohibited in the Constitution, written by rich white guys who owned slaves. He burnt the Reichstag! by not charging in there to shield AOC with his body, just because she wasn’t there.
Pure b s.
Our spineless RINOs will do nothing to get the thousands of hours of footage released, the ‘mostly peaceful protestors’ released, or investigate Pelosi’s responsibility for this false flag Deep State action.
He could still run locally.
They’d love to see Trump attainted. That darn Constitution keeps getting in the way.
“This whole thing is unconstitutional, IMHO, and it’s not a tough call. The moment it goes from rhetoric to action anyway.”
Not necessarily. Just non-binding and a waste of taxpayer money, time and resources. Once the video gets out of January 6th, now Republicans, at least the ones that matter can bring up charges of sedition against the Jan 6 committee, the FBI and anyone else involve with violating Trump’s 1st amendment rights.
Sounds like a bill of attainder to me.
I am no Trump fan…but if he wants to run and people want to vote for him, that’s fine with me.
The Deep State had/has no leverage.
In fact, PDJT is the Echo of our Framers' Uncorrupted President.
Keeping Trump from getting the presidency again was the goal all along.
These Baal worshipping uniparty people had so many plans on what to do when Hillary was president. Every duck was in a row, all the right bribes were paid, everything was ready; then Trump won. All of a sudden everything was in mass disarray. They will never fully recover from that. They will never forget.
They’re scared sh!tless of him running again. Don’t be surprised if there’s someone set to grassy-knoll or Ford-Theatre him.
Bill of Attainder, Dershowitz et al with shove it up their asses.
This report will provide greater detail about the multistep effort by the Deep State to frame Trump again.

That’s a good point right there.... one would think that in concocting yet another false narrative about PDJT, it will mean that they have left another mile wide trail of evidence of the malfeasance they’ve executed to get to that point. Thugs like these committee members will always overplay their dirty hands. There are no doubt many things still hidden but in the same way that the Russian collusion, alignment with big tech and the FIB as outrageously evident from the twitter, the Ukraine-FTX-DemRat money funneling operation etc. etc. are now wide open for all to see, so will the J6 operation.
Numbers 32:23 “But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the Lord: and be sure your sin will find you out.”
Proverbs 28:13 “He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.”
Matthew 10:26 “Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.”
May God give us all the patience to watch until they implode....
They would have saved us 50 million and a lot of anguish if they just issued a report when the committee formed and stated, for the record, we don’t like Trump and we are afraid of him, so we recommend that he not be able to make us afraid by being President.
They haven’t let voters decide for a while now.
