Carl Bernstein believes the House committee has what it needs to expose the culpability of Donald Trump in last year's insurrection.
Bernstein said that the president was trying to foment insurrection to keep his successor from taking office.
Donald Trump, his lawyers, and those closest to him tried to stage a coup so there would be no real election of the president of the United States, and Trump would continue to be in office.
The stakes are high, according to Bob Woodward, Bernstein's Watergate partner.
It is a crime to subvert the lawful function of government. It's not confusing. It goes back 100 years and is a type of crime.
The Justice Department and the Jan. 6th committee agree that this was an organized conspiracy to subvert democracy. It can't be said any more directly.
No president has ever done something like that. He said that he wouldn't admit that he lost the election. I will remain the president of the United States after Joe Biden takes office.
He said that Trump is a seditious president because of this.
Bernstein said that Americans are now in a "territory we have never seen." Donald Trump is supported by the party that helped push Richard Nixon out of office and forced him to resign after Watergate.
Bernstein warned that we now have a political party that is dedicated to suppressing the truth.
