Jan 6 committee about to recommend criminal charges against Trump

[Boydog]

Where in the hell is Merrick Garland. It would be so much more effective if he stepped up and told us what he’s doing. Trump’s goons (Male and Female) think they’re getting away with murder. The Dept of Justice needs to at least let them know there is a formal investigation going on of everything Trump. They are laughing at us and I am sick of it.

1. I agree

Remember Mueller?

[Budi]

4. Remember Barr?

10. What about Mueller?

This happened in 12 weeks - Mueller indicted; or got guilty pleas from;

George Papadopoulas
Paul Manafort
Rick Gates
Michael Flynn
13 Russian nationals
3 Russian companies
Richard Pinedo
Alex van der Zwaan
Konstantin Kilimnik
12 Russian GRU officers
Michael Cohen
Roger Stone
Sam Patten

Mueller also laid out the evidence to convict Trump of obstruction of justice
Mueller also laid out the evidence to convict Trump of campaign finance violations. (individual one)

2. The Attorney General is doing his job,

as is the Jan 6 committee, and each informs the public when their jobs/investigations are ripe.

[Budi]

3. Garland will not step on the work of the J6 Committee.

Nice headline anyway.

[agingdem]

12. you're right.

if Garland indicts Trump now then the J6 committee becomes ineffectual...it's obvious to me the committee is clearing the way for Garland/DOJ to go after Trump...the first salvo was fired yesterday...Trump/Eastman knowingly participated in a federal crime...

5. Wake me up

when Trump is indicted.

[Pantagruel]

6. Patience grasshoppers!

You don't bring criminal charges against a former POTUS unless you have the most airtight case possible. It will set a precedent , it needs to be unassailable.

18. They have limited time though.

[Boydog]

19. Exactly. Anyone who doesn't realize this is a moron.

[Tadpole Raisin]

7. Not going to happen at least until they have their public hearings

which seem to keep getting pushed back, sigh.

[TreasonousBastard]

8. We just had the committee say they're sure a crime has been...

committed. That now has to go to Justice and the wheels start rolling.

Shit, we're just getting results from killings years ago.

11. I listened to Adam Schiff tonight,

when asked if DOJ was waiting for the select committee to finish its work and Schiff said God I hope not. Schiff said that DOJ should be working independently of the select committee and should absolutely not be waiting for referrals.

His words not mine, OK I added "God."

[TreasonousBastard]

14. I didn't hear Schiff, but he's basically right. DOJ doesn't have...

to listen to the committe, but it does have ears.

[gab13by13]

15. I believe that the select committee is doing this

to get Merrick Garland's attention.

[TreasonousBastard]

16. Good chance of that.

[Boydog]

20. There should not have to be an attempt to get Garland's attention.

So basically what we’re saying is that Garland would rather let the Democracy go down the drain than give a hint of partisanship.

[Karadeniz]

9. I think this is his tactic...

[Chainfire]

13. Would someone please wake me up when there is a high level indictment?

zzzzzzzzzz...zzzzzzz...zzzz

[RipVanWinkle]

17. My thoughts exactly

I am so tired of all these little snippets on every TV channel, reporting that “they” got the goods on Trump.

He has yet to be indicted.

Manhattan DA. Incompetence or corruption personified or both.
