'Trump Will Be Charged,' Kirschner Concludes After AG Garland's Remarks

[Ohio Joe]

Former U.S. Army Prosecutor Glenn Kirschner concluded that former President Donald Trump "will be charged" in connection with the January 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol and the effort to overturn the 2020 election results after new remarks from Attorney General Merrick Garland.

In an interview with NPR that aired on Thursday, Garland said "everyone" who committed crimes related to January 6 would face accountability.

"We begin with the cases that are right in front of us with the overt actions and then we build from there," the attorney general said. "And that is a process that we will continue to build until we hold everyone accountable who committed criminal acts with respect to January 6."

Hundreds of Trump's supporters stormed the Capitol after the then-president at a nearby rally urged them to march to the federal legislative building and to "fight like hell." More than 780 of Trump's supporters have been indicted for their actions that day, with some saying in court that they believed they were carrying out Trump's orders.

It is not happening fast enough for many... I get that. But it is coming.

1. nice of him to say so, but .. -(nt)-

[woodsprite]

2. My concern is that it won't be done before elections.

If we don’t keep the majority, it’s all screwed.

[Ohio Joe]

5. Unlikely before the election...

But it is not all screwed if we do not win (which, I do not believe, I firmly believe we will still have the majority). The best repugs can do is stop the congressional Jan 6th investigation (whose preliminary report will already be out), they can't do anything about the DOJ investigation.

3. Kirschner is getting info on the QT from DoJ, no doubt

He wouldn't stick his neck out and say this, if it's not happening. We just have to be patient.

4. I am Scotch ready!

I've been saving it!

[SoonerPride]

6. Is there a way to bet on this? Like in Vegas?

Because I would be a sizeable chunk of money that it ever happens.

[Ohio Joe]

For TFG they only have odds for him being indicted this year though, not at all. It will be interesting to see how it goes once they have odds for 2023.

[SoonerPride]

10. oh excellent. thank you.

[SoCalDavidS]

13. Sadly, I Looked At All The Sites At That Link, And None Are Taking Bets On Indictments

Probably because the odds are too lopsided against any indictments happening.

I was all set to place a bet. Easy money, IMO.

[Ohio Joe]

14. It took me a bit to find...

They don't make those sites easy but the Betonline one is here:

You will have to create an account... Not sure how to do that but then you should be able to place the bet.

15. Thanks! nt

7. Wishful thinking doesn't hurt

But it leads to alot of disappointment also.

[uponit7771]

8. Hopefully BEFORE mid terms, elections. We can't have GZP running house or senate and I pray

... his arrest helps dems politically

[bucolic_frolic]

11. Even if it fails to convict, or is a minor point of law, putting TDFG through the process counts

Personally, I think dementia is accelerating. The magical leaps and emotional conclusions are palpable. Time is our friend, until the end.

[Irish_Dem]

17. I agree, at least make him go through the process.

[bucolic_frolic]

19. His public proclamations and rants should prove epic. He could say anything.

It could even be viewed as a vetting hurdle to run again, and one he is unlikely to pass. But then again the rules don't apply to him.

[Irish_Dem]

20. Yes. He would melt down worse than ever, in epic ways.

He might not even survive it.

[Kablooie]

12. I hope so but it may be difficult to win.

If the defense got even one MAGA fool on the jury Trump might go free.
In a criminal trial if even one juror disagrees, the verdict returned is Not Guilty.

Jury nullification occurs when a jury returns a Not Guilty verdict even though jurors believe beyond reasonable doubt that the defendant has broken the law. Because the Not Guilty verdict cannot be overturned, and because the jurors cannot be punished for their verdict, the law is said to be nullified in that particular case.

On the positive side, most MAGAs are not intelligent, strong willed people so the other jurors might be able to convince them to flip.

[Trumpdumper]

18. Wrong ...

If the defense got even one MAGA fool on the jury Trump might go free.
In a criminal trial if even one juror disagrees, the verdict returned is Not Guilty.

Nope. If one (or up to 11) jurors vote NG, that's a mistrial. It is NOT a finding of not guilty, and the government can try the case again with a new jury.

16. One day Kirschner is up, the next day Kirschner is down.
