Imallin4Joe's JournalJan. 6 committee unveils criminal referrals against Trump
Source: The Hill
The House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol unveiled criminal referrals on Monday targeting former President Trump, recommending that the Department of Justice investigate the ex-president for inciting an insurrection, conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to make a false statement, and obstruction of an official proceeding.
The referrals mark the culmination of the committee’s 18-month probe of the Jan. 6 attack and the role Trump played before, during and after the riot. They are a crescendo in the panel’s central case that Trump was at the center of a conspiracy to keep himself in power.
Investigators on the committee said they decided on criminal referrals against Trump based on sufficient evidence showing that he violated various statutes: “Incite,” “Assist” or “Aid and Comfort” an Insurrection; Obstruction of an Official Proceeding; Conspiracy to Defraud the United States; Conspiracy to Make a False Statement; and Other Conspiracy Statutes.
The recommendations themselves, however, are largely symbolic, as the Department of Justice is not required to look into referrals from congressional committees. They also come as the agency is conducting its own, separate investigation into the Capitol riot, which was recently put under the purview of an independent special counsel.

Not a big fan of The Hill but this is the earliest report I could find..
This may escalate the investigation against Agent Orange.

Pal-ing around with white supremacists.
Even if Agent Orange tries to apologize for his close ties to white supremacists, will anyone believe his sincerity?
Never let Trump live this down.
Red wave? Meet our BLUE MIDDLE FINGER.
Salute to the Democratic Party for avoiding the midterm red-wave that was predicted by pundits, yet AVOIDED by aggressive Dems that campaigned on exposing their Fascist Rethug opponents on subjects like abortion, choice, birth control, authoritarian control over women etc..
Herschel Walker is a woman-beater.
He has an established track record of physically abusing women in his life. Imagine the psychological abuse inflicted on these women before he got physical.
Expose that Fascist piece of shit.
Dems that got aggressive in their campaigns against Rethugs WON!!
To our beloved Sen Warnock,
campaign hard against the woman abuser..
Call him Herschel"the Woman-Abuser"Walker in your ads..
Dems win when they get aggressive and expose their Fascist Rethug opponents.
A message to conservatives in southern states..
Keep denying global warming if you want more deadly hurricanes.
Keep calling science a hoax.
Your god won't save you from the true wrath of Mother Nature.
As you witnessed the true horror of Hurricane Ian passing overhead, I'll wager that you were thinking: Am I correct to deny global warming's effect on our weather?
Democrats, ask voters if they want more hurricanes, tornadoes, severe tropical storms, flooding and even hotter temperature extremes.
Vote GOP if you want more terrifying, deadly hurricanes.
(This also applies to conservatives everywhere, not just in the south but the south is the crux of global warming denial.)
Rethugs, the hurricane makers.
GET A CAT SHIELD INSTALLED TODAY
Catalytic converter theft is exploding everywhere.
My sister just had a cat shield installed on her Toyota Prius for less than $300. (At my relentless urging)
Replacing a stolen cat costs several thousand dollars.
Catalytic converters contain precious metals- Rhodium, Palladium, Platinum.
Rhodium sells for around $15,000 an ounce.
Palladium and platinum are very valuable metals.
My sister's workplace has been hit with cat theft recently. Several of her coworkers had cat thefts.
Her car wasn't hit. The cat shield worked. Prius' are among the highest targeted car model for cat thieves.
My sister recently thanked me for urging her to get a cat shield installed.
The product works. Do some research on the best quality cat shield for you vehicle's model.
Trump pal-ing around with a terrorist, fascist, authoritarian.
Trump once called Putin's invasion of Ukraine, "genius".
Democrats, call him out for it.
Call out Trump-backed candidates in the upcoming mid-terms.
Expose them.
Trump is a close friend of Putin.
Again, expose the orange marmalade of Fascist twins.
EDIT: for context, remember Sarah Palin's accusation against Barack Obama for "pal-ing around terrorists"?
Palin is also a friend of Putin..
Let us throw lettuce.
If there's one thing I could add to my bucket list before I die..
It would be to witness Putin being frog-marched into the Hague before the masses and throw lettuce and rotten tomatoes at him as he gets sentenced to death.
I would die a happy man.
War Crimes Have Been Committed in Ukraine, U.N. Experts Say
GENEVA — Russian soldiers have raped and tortured children in Ukraine, a United Nations-appointed panel of independent legal experts said in a damning statement on Friday that concluded war crimes had been committed in the conflict.
A three-person Commission of Inquiry set up in April to investigate the conduct of hostilities in four areas of Ukraine laid out the graphic allegations in an unusually hard-hitting, 11-minute statement to the U.N Human Rights Council in Geneva.
“The commission has documented cases in which children have been raped, tortured, and unlawfully confined,” the panel’s chairman, Erik Mose, told the council.
He added: “Children have also been killed and injured in indiscriminate attacks with explosive weapons. The exposure to repeated explosions, crimes, forced displacement and separation from family members deeply affected their well-being and mental health.”

I think everyone here on DU already knows that Putin is a war-criminal.
So, we can file this under No shit, Sherlock.
War crimes are punishable by death.
EXECUTION is the only proper punishment for Putin.

Goodman testified in the trial that he felt boxed in and engulfed by the mob led by Jensen. Prosecutors showed video from that day in which Goodman was seen leading the mob away from the Senate floor, where senators were sheltering at the time. He said that he ran across Sen. Mitt Romney in the hall and urged him to return to the floor, where he would be safer.
He also testified that he had suffered a blow to the head from an item thrown from within the mob. He recalled being overcome by bear spray at one point and retreating to the Capitol Rotunda to wash his eyes. While in the Rotunda, Goodman vomited into a bucket before running back outside to the confront the rioters, according to his testimony.
