Jan. 6 House panelists found enough evidence to indict Trump [Video]

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:


  • Members of the Jan. 6 House committee said they have uncovered enough “credible evidence” to ask the Department of Justice to indict former President Donald Trump.
  • Rep. Adam Schiff said “I’d like to see any credible allegation of criminal activity” be investigated.
  • Rep. Jamie Raskin said the panel has already laid out in legal pleadings the various criminal statutes the former president violated.

The Jan. 6 House Select Committee said Sunday they have uncovered enough evidence to ask the Department of Justice to indict former President Donald Trump for attempting to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

If the DOJ will indict Trump on criminal charges, it would be the first in U.S. history.

Last week, the panel started holding public hearings, which are intended to lay out the case that the former president was responsible for the Jan. 6 Capitol attack. Charges may include knowingly spreading misinformation around the 2020 presidential election, seeking to overturn the results, assembling the mob in the Capitol and failing to act to stop the attack.

“I would like to see the Justice Department investigate any credible allegation of criminal activity on the part of Donald Trump,” House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) told ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday.

“There are certain actions, parts of these different lines of effort to overturn the election, that I don’t see evidence the Justice Department is investigating.”

Schiff added that after the Justice Department gathered all evidence, it needs to decide whether “it can prove to a jury beyond a reasonable doubt the president’s guilt or anyone else’s. But they need to be investigated if there’s credible evidence, which I think there is.”

Also on Sunday, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) told CNN’s “State of the Union” that Trump “absolutely knew” his claims that the election had been stolen were lies because he was surrounded by lawyers, including former Attorney General Bill Barr, who told him so in “no uncertain terms.”

“Our entire investigation is a referral of crimes both to the Department of Justice and to the American people because this is a massive assault on our — on the machinery of American democracy,” he said.

Raskin noted he would not “browbeat” Attorney General Merrick Garland over whether he should indict Trump. However, the Jan. 6 committee has already laid out in legal pleadings the various criminal statutes they believe the former president violated.

“I think that he knows, his staff knows, the U.S. attorneys know, what’s at stake here,” Raskin said, referring to Garland.

    Apparently they made up enough BS that even they believe it.

      I agree JD. They’ve been after him for years, and I think they’ll do anything possible, legal or illegal, to find him guilty of something.

      JD – my take is that they have been peddling their line of bull for so long that they do indeed believe it. Look at all of the ‘evidence’ that sciffhead claims he had – and NEVER showed even the least little bit of it. I guess this is ample proof that TDS really is terminal (but not nearly soon enough).

      The committee that Pelosi picked/packed with those who hate Trump keep saying they have sufficient evidence to convict Trump but never once did I hear any evidence or proof of anything they claim! So JD is exactly right. They think if they keep saying it others will start to believe it just like they did. Picking those committee members based on their hate for the one they are to investigate is like picking a jury of 12 who absolutely hate the defendant. How is that ever to be objective or fair? OH, THAT’S RIGHT. IT WAS NEVER INTENDED TO BE FAIR!

    The house is full of crap, you can’t believe a word that comes from them. They know a red storm is coming and they are afraid. And they should be..we plan to destroy the Democratic party..with true votes…they are trying their best to destroy our country…we can play that game too.

    Yes their evidence is just like the email Shumer submitted that was edited and was apologized for when he was caught.

      Yeah, members of Congress can do horrible things and get by with nothing more than an apology…we mortals would have hell to pay if we did the same things.

    If they have enough to indict, why aren’t they? More Democratic party smoke and mirrors. They keep saying all this damning stuff over and over. Who are they trying to convince? Us or themselves?

    When are going to see all of the videos from January 6? All the will send out for public viewing is their edited version. I remember when Adam Schiff said he had hard evidence of Russian collusion. We all know how that ended. How about a Hilliary Clinton Russion collusion investigation.

    If anyone needs to be indicted it’s the Commie-Democrat Party who is deliberately destroying the U.S. The January 6 committee has one goal and that is to destroy President Trump so he can’t ever hold office again. If this was a legitimate committee seeking nothing but the truth, Nancy Pelosi and Marian Bowser would be questioned regarding their refusal to use the National Guard that President Trump made available to them days before this event happened. To-a-one, this committee is performing a character assassination on President Trump. No Republicans were allowed to be part of this because this committee greatly feared their line of questioning, and they would be exposed for the frauds that they are. And no – the two RINOS on the committee are not Republicans. They are the hand-picked puppets of Nancy Pelosi whom they worship. The truth will prevail and these people will be shown for the evil they are doing. God’s Second Greatest Commandment is to “Love Thy Neighbor As Thyself.”

    After all the BS they threw at President Trump during and after his Presidency, like proven fake Russian collusion narrative, fake 1st and second impeachment trials that showed zilch of evidence, Muller investigation that did not produce a shred of evidence against President Trump, all these clowns like Shifty Schiff, Nadler, Raskin, Pelosi, Schumer, and all the members of this illegitimate Jan 6 Commission are genuinely panicking at the signs that Trump is going to return to the Presidency, and he is well equipped with the legitimate reasons to put all of them on a real trial for their relentless attempts to subvert legitimately elected President 45 and trying to prevent him from coming back, which is un-Constitutional.

    I don’t believe queen nancy’s hand picked death squad.This was not a riot until government hired entities infiltrated and stirred the pot to keep things at a boiling point.Pelosi is the poster person for the evil witches that dominate the very underworld.But this entity does have a lot of help.

    Everybody knows Pelosi’s contrived fake Jan 6 Comittee is as desperate as the two failed fake Trump impeachments. Only Democrats could plot such an evil misrepresentation of the truth to eliminate the greatest American President from resuming his rightful position in 2024. God bless Donald Trump and keep him safe from all harm.

    There are over 1,400 hours of videos that Pelosi won’t even let anyone see. How does a (supposedly) bi-partisan committee charge the REAL President with crimes if she won’t let ALL of the evidence be seen? This clown show is the biggest, most obvious kangaroo court in American history…and considering the Lib/Dems, that’s saying something!
