Criminal referrals to the DOJ

 Finally, a criminal referral from the January 6 Committee Tuesday.  A summary from PBS:

Criminal referrals for Trump
 
The committee concluded there is enough evidence to convict former President Trump and recommended that the Department of Justice make the following criminal charges:

• Obstruction of an official proceeding. The “proceeding” being the Jan. 6 meeting of Congress itself.
• Conspiracy to defraud the United States. The committee argued that this happened in multiple ways, including Trump’s lies about the 2020 election and then-Vice President Pence’s role in certification among other issues.
• Conspiracy to knowingly make a false statement. The committee said Trump broke this statute by participating in a plot to submit fake slates of electors.
• Assisting, aiding or comforting an insurrection. The committee believes Trump incited the U.S. Capitol attack, but notes he was impeached on that charge already. The report summary specifically concludes there is enough evidence to convict and, therefore, to charge Trump with “assisting, aiding or comforting” the insurrection. The focus here is on his actions as the attack unfolded — and his lack of action in not moving to stop it.

Prison please…

And, oh yes, “others”….
