Schiff says he likely would support criminal referrals in Jan. 6 attack probe

Adam Schiff has zero credibility, besides it has already been proved there was no coordination between Trump and the riot on the 6th. Just more political bs mumbo jumbo to keep the lemmings fired up.....surely you all must know, this is not working, don't you?

Really? I guess we all missed someone proving this. Please post the evidence so we can all see it.
 
Problem the democrats have, is that Trump did not coordinate or incite the violence on the 6th.....while the riots were bad and uncalled for, they were nothing in comparison to the summer of 2020 and the myriads of democrats inciting violence across the country. This cannot be denied, albeit not all democrats were supporting the violence, but many most definitely were and condoned the unrest which went on for several months. Cease trying to cover up the violence of the left by getting everyone to focus on the 6th....we all know it was terrible, needless, and stupid....admit your own faults, so we as a country can move on. You're like an ex wife or girlfriend who cannot let something go, but keep bringing it up, over and over and over......there comes a time to let it go....jeesh.

The democrats are digging their and hammering the nails into their coffins, themselves.....this strategy is not working. The people want to know what you are going to accomplish for them, their families, the country, the economy, inflation, crime, the border, etc. "Trump, Trump, Trump"......shut up, already.
The roots in the 6th are one thing but the most serious threat to democracy was the plot Trump and Eastman we're pursuing to illegally overthrow a Constitutionally certified election by trying to get Pence to ignore the Constitution and then seat fake ekectors. You don't see that as a fundamental threat to American democracy but most do and that is the reason they realize he should never, ever see the Oval office again. Then there is the cavalier and illegal retainment of highly sensitive government documents at his resort. Since when have Republicans moved to such casual position on National security?

You may think it is the Dems keeping. Trump front and centre but it's Trump himself who is doing that Did you catch the Hannity interview? Did you know he only needs to think about it and a document is declassified? He is your guy and you are welcome to him but thankfully the majority of Americans see it a different way. It is Trump who shut up!
 
Proved? News to me. Post it.

The FBI has already stated they have no evidence that Trump nor any of his allies coordinated an insurrection at the Capitol......you don't know this???.....wow!

Because it is false.

That's a lie.
 
They are investigating the violence that day and all that was behind it. The Oath Keepers go on trial this week for seditious conspiracy. The DOJ is working its way up the food chain. I want to see Trump go down as much as anyone but in this instance, Schiff is grandstanding. A referral is not necessary. The job of the Committee is to make legislative recommendations and that is what they should stick to.
I'll say this. Many Americans want to see Trump himself criminally referred to the DOJ. It is the committee's responsibility to report any crimes they saw during their scope of the investigation. I agree it probably won't make any difference. But if they have the goods, their constituents expect them to move on them.

As Schiff said, it would be a unanimous vote among committee members. I trust them to do the right thing. If they choose to make referrals, then so be it. Nothing can make it any more political than it already is.

In the end, the J-6 committee has seen more evidence than anyone else has to date. We, the public have only seen a fraction of that evidence. If they have something solid, I expect them to make the referral. I also expect and encourage the committee to turn over everything they have to the DOJ when they have wrapped up. So far, there has been some tension. They need to work that out.

Chairman Thompson said on first day of hearing that Trump was guilty of sedition.

Lol, yeah it's always move the goal post....rofl. You should look at your own party and the things they have done, before casting any stones. Plus, we don't even know what are in those documents.....all you got is hearsay and wishful thinking....another failure.

Lol, it was Joe Biden's DOJ who sicked the FBI on Mar A Lago.....the left instigated the raid, using over 50 heavily armed agents on a former President's home.....what do you think Trump is supposed to do....Good Lord. We get you all have a serious problem with Trump, but you know what?......who gives a damn!
 
Trump go down for what? There is nothing more behind it than what is known now, or we'd know it. No matter how desperately you want it to be so, there is no connection showing planning or coordination between Trump and the violent rioters on Jan 6.
You have no idea if that statement is true or false. Unless you have read the transcripts of all the grand jury interviews, you are just speculating. What I can see from the outside looking in, the possibility is very high that your statement is incorrect. Time will tell.

They can share what they have without making a criminal referral. In fact the Chairman said they would hand over everything and have already done some of that. At this point It just seems totally unnecessary to me. The DOJ is already involved in every aspect of the 6th and the events leading up to it.
 
*sigh*.....ya'll will be saying "yet" 20 years from now with there still being Jack shit to support it.
Ongoing investigation... :rolleyes: But certainly, you are allowed to wish upon a star.
 
That's an interesting theory, which you cannot support with facts.

Here are the facts we learned from the select committee proceedings.

There's a phrase in the second Eastman memo that describes sending the slates back to the legislature to be changed to trump.

There's a phrase in the second Eastman memo that talks about creating a delay.

On Jan 4, it was clear that Pence refused to go along.

On January 4 it was clear that no state legislature was willing to change their slate.

It was clear before that, that objections to a state slate would not be concurred in either chamber and the 12A would not be invoked.


Do you agree that these are facts?

Well, we can disagree on some of the methods. But I think we all agree that Trump is guilty as hell of a major coup attempt and should be held accountable. I really don't give a shit how it happens, as long as it does.

Where do you get this BS? It was broad daylight and they were wearing suits instead of their FBI jackets. They were not heavily armed.

All Trump had to do was return the document as per the awfully ordered subpoena and nothing more would have happened. He brought this on himself.
 
:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:...amazing. So now, you don't believe the FBI?
Show your work...or as Judge Dearie basically said to Trump....put up or shut up
 
Anyone who aided or abetted 1/06/2021 deserves criminal prosecution. Including any members of Congress.

This should include those who supplied buses to bring the terrorists in. So I want to see indictments against Ginny Thomas and anybody else who participated.

Okay, 30 armed agents.....does that make you feel better? Not that it makes a difference. This whole thing couldn't possibly be political, could it?....no, of course not to a democrat, lol. It's getting to where I'm beginning to feel sorry for the left and this psychotic obsession with Trump.....it has become a grave danger to our democracy.
 
I watched all the J6 hearings. Did you watch any?

It is not a legitimate investigative committee.....wholly partisan. Have not watched any of it, as am not interested in having my mind indoctrinated with such a partisan political propaganda mechanism.
