BLANKET PARDONS​

Trump wanted to issue blanket pardons for everyone who participated in the riot, according to testimony from John McEntee, former head of personnel at the White House.

FIRING ELECTION NONBELIEVERS​

Trump considered firing any member of his staff who did not believe the 2020 election was stolen, in a memo mentioned by Cipollone and former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson.

"Anybody that thinks there wasn't massive fraud in the 2020 election should be fired," the memo read, according to Cipollone.

MEADOWS BURNED DOCUMENTS​

Mark Meadows, who served as Trump's chief of staff from late March 2020 until the end of the administration, was seen burning documents roughly a dozen times in the period between President Joe Biden's election and his inauguration, Hutchinson testified.

HUTCHINSON FACED INTENSE PRESSURE​

Hutchinson was represented by a Trump-friendly lawyer during her initial depositions with the committee, but switched and was much more forthcoming about the intense pressure she faced from what she called "Trump world" to not hurt the former president.

"I was scared," she said, recounting her emotions after her depositions with the committee in May and June. She suspected her former lawyer of leaking her testimony to the press, and telling other Trump-adjacent figures about what she told the committee.
 
I haven't been following this thing at all, but what is the specific crime Trump committed?
 
Witness tampering should def be looked into.

If you haven't bothered to inform yourself as to the transcripts of the sworn testimonies ( then dismiss them if you wish ) don't bother expecting others to inform you. I respect those who inform themselves and then present counter-arguments....those who argue from a position of ignorance, not so much.

Fair enough.

I just don't have any interest in it whatsoever.

Then why ask and expect others to engage? Was it your intention to ignore their responses to your question!? Rather rude on your part I'd say.

You know hes not going to be charged with any of that, right? Oh wait. You are still falling for this BS after 6 years of being conned by your leftist masters.
 
Hutchinson's testimony has been validated by others testimony.

I was asked what crimes Trump has committed, and that is a partial list of them. If answering a question like that triggers you, maybe log off for a while.

As an uninterested observer, this sounds ridiculous.

"Conspiracy" means talking about it, not doing it.

Inciting has got to be one of the dumbest crimes ever.

I say, "Hey Joe, go rob that bank!"

Joe robs the bank, so now I'm guilty of a crime? Gimme a break. Joe has agency, he's not a robot.

The whole list is ridiculous.

Im not triggered. Maybe you should look up big words before you misuse them and look foolish. I was simply responding to your willingness to continually get played for a sucker.

You are either terribly uninformed or deliberately playing this forum.

Dismissing things with no knowledge of them whatsoever is naive and foolish.

The referrals were put together by a team of lawyers no less competent than those in the DoJ. Have you paid any attention to Trump's courts cases? He's lost them all. Every last one. Have you seen his lawyers?

Your post is beyond ridiculous.

Like I said why bother engaging with someone who admits they are completely uninforned? Waste your time if you wish .
