It was just a matter of time before the January 6th committee did what it was always going to do. Namely, announce criminal referrals in relation to the unrest at the Capitol following the 2020 election.
On Tuesday, Chairman Bennie Thompson made it official, telling reporters that referrals were on the way and would be submitted as a separate document from the committee’s report.

Thompson didn’t announce exactly who the criminal referrals will target, but it’s not exactly a secret that Donald Trump is in the crosshairs. As the CNN article notes, the committee’s members have been in wide agreement that they feel the former president committed a crime. The lack of evidence to support such a contention hasn’t stopped them before and I see no reason to believe it’ll stop them now.
In short, Donald Trump is trouble, and that becomes clear when you take a step back and take a look at all the moving parts. Yes, the January 6th committee is a cog in all this, but it’s not the only one. The timing of the DOJ’s new special counsel targeting Trump isn’t a coincidence, and sure enough, on the same day Cheney and company announced criminal referrals were coming, here’s what the DOJ was working on.
BREAKING: DOJ special counsel subpoenas officials in several states, asking for communications with or involving former President Donald Trump, campaign aides and allies involved in his efforts to try to overturn the 2020 election.

A revival of New York State’s criminal case against Trump also happened in the last month. Again, none of these things are happening separately from one another. It’s all part of a slow-moving operation to take down the former president once and for all. The January 6th committee is mostly theater, but the DOJ is playing off that theater to build its case and turn public opinion.
There’s only one outcome here: Donald Trump is going to be indicted.
And while I’ve often said that would be stupid as a matter of law, at the end of the day, nothing I or anyone else has to say really matters. The DOJ is hellbent on finishing what it started way back in 2016, and no amount of calling them corrupt is going to change that.
That leads me to my last point. A lot of people on the right, myself included, have begun the debate on who should be the Republican nominee in 2024. The typical points of tension revolve around whether Donald Trump has what it takes to put together a winning coalition. But amidst the various factions yelling at each other about matchup hypotheticals, the elephant in the room is being ignored: Donald Trump is going to be indicted, and there is no chance a DC jury doesn’t convict him of whatever the DOJ puts in front of them.
The only question left in my mind is whether the government officials behind that drive are going to time things so that Trump is already the nominee when he’s indicted, essentially leaving Republicans without a candidate for the 2024 election. The trap is being baited, and that’s going to leave some tough decisions ahead for the GOP.
They will do anything to avoid discovery, they cannot allow that to happen. Period.
All theater until cases hit a real court of law where BOTH SIDES get to present testimony, evidence, question witnesses and have discovery.
Or indict and conviction him during the campaign.
Thats why he appointed the Special Prosecutor.
The Department of Justice must prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the 2020 Presidential election was fair and honest, BEFORE it can indict anyone, on any charge, related to January 06.
Convict
Perfect. They will overplay yet another fakenews™️ crime and embarrass themselves even further. Id say erode more credibility but they had none to begin with so let the winning begin (again).
Sure. They’ll cobble together some cause of action throw that red meat to a DC jury and, viola, instant conviction.
It doesnt. Theyve tried to impeach him twice and this is strike 3 for them. They have literally no case and obviously zero self awareness… so lets all have a good laugh at this latest grasp at relevance.
I think they do. To them, there’s no consideration for any dire consequence. It’s just a blood sport to them, “winning” is the only thing they see. They are blinded by their thirst for scalps, without realizing just how seriously we take it.
Anyone that can’t see that this is a 4A violation and is just “keep investigating until we can ‘claim’ foul, arrest, and _automatically_ convict” is a complete fool...which they are. They don’t seem to see that is what they’re doing.
In the future, we’ll all be indicted.
It will be resolved at the appellate level, not at the trial.
Bottom Line - you cannot commit sedition against a government that was not lawfully elected.
You cannot disrupt an election certification if the election was fraudulent.
Do you really believe that when you or I repost a truth on Twitter it gets the same exposure as a Trump tweet? 88 million followers! Have you ever been on Twitter? Were you on Twitter when Trump was using Twitter? Obviously not or you wouldn’t make such a statement. Trump has had all of his Truths reposted on Twitter for what it’s worth. That being said, he is incommunicado to 80% of America. There is no comparison between live Twitter Trump and the way it’s been since he was banned and the advent of Truth Social.
No they don’t. They don’t have to prove anything. The leftist DOJ runs those courts and if they want a conviction they will get a conviction. This is no longer a balanced fair rule of law America.
It is a tyranny run by corrupt tyrants.
Just think about how one sided and corrupt that Jan 6th committee really is? They are the ones that need to be indicted for fraud.
Please see my Comment #72.
I raised a legal issue.
It will be resolved at the appellate level.
That’s it. They just keep attaching his name to any negative news item and shout it in publication, social media and the airwave. Years of this...
The thing that many people are missing is that once Trump is out of the way, the focus of the eye of Sauron will move from him to us.
Cheney is the RAT that needs her ass indicted.
Donald Trump Is Going to Be Indicted
