…Trump ought to be prosecuted.
The House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol voted Monday to send to Justice Department prosecutors a recommendation that former president Donald Trump be charged with four crimes: inciting or assisting an insurrection, obstruction of an official proceeding of Congress, conspiracy to defraud the United States and conspiracy to make a false statement. The move has no legal weight, but marks the first time Congress has made such a referral for a former president.
Will the Justice Dept. do anything about it? Will Trump be allowed to continue to run for president? Will there be any consequences at all?
I have no confidence in justice in this country anymore.
