A member of the Jan. 6 select committee said Friday that he would be surprised if Attorney General Garland didn't indict Donald Trump for the attack on the U.S Capitol.
Jamie Raskin, D-Md., announced criminal referrals against Trump and others for possible violations of four federal statutes at the committee. Sending hundreds of foot soldiers to jail is not the right thing to do.
On the final episode of Yahoo News' "Skullduggery" podcasts, Raskin said that Trump "conspired to defraud the government and American people." He swapped an honest election for a fraudulent one. He aided and helped insurrectionists at a number of points.
The last few days of Trump's life could be spent with the Secret Service. I don't know if the Secret Service agents would be inside or outside the bars. Who doesn't know?
If Attorney General Garland didn't act on the criminal referrals that the select committee unanimously voted for, then he would be surprised, said Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md.
Jack Smith, a special counsel, has been named by Garland to investigate Trump's role in the Jan. 6 attack as well as his handling of classified documents he took from the White House. While there are clear signs that the Justice Department is stepping up its probes in recent weeks, most legal experts don't know if it is true.
One of the referrals for inciting and providing aid and comfort to an insurrection is controversial among civil liberties activists. When asked if he was uneasy about suggesting a charge against left-wing protesters, he replied, "Not for a second."
If Antifa decided to bring 40,000 or 50,000 people to Washington and then proceeded to beat the hell out of our police officers and stab them with Trump flags, that's right.
