Many millions of Americans watched on television as Donald Trump ordered his blindly loyal supporters to "march to the Capitol and fight like hell" to "stop the steal." Hundreds of millions of people worldwide watched the deadly riot. We all saw the looting, the vandalism and the assaults on police officers. We all heard the chants of "Where's Pelosi?" and "Hang Mike Pence!" If the Department of Justice does its job, Trump will finally be indicted.
January 6 committee prepares final report, possible criminal referrals
Wall Street Journal, Nov 24 2022 8:00 AM ET
The House select committee investigating the January 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol is racing to finalize its long-awaited report, which it expects to release to the public in December, and make decisions about possible recommendations of criminal charges to the Justice Department. The report, based on more than 1,000 interviews, extensive videos of the attack and millions of documents, will be the final summation of the committee’s year-and-a-half investigation and could include a criminal referral to the Justice Department for former President Donald Trump and allies of his who aided his attempt to overturn the 2020 Presidential election result.

Renato Mariotti, Politico legal affairs columnist and a former federal prosecutor, says the Department of Justice could "charge Trump with incitement or making a false statement to the federal government or a scheme to defraud the United States in connection with the fake elector scheme" but notes that those crimes "turn on Trump’s intent or state of mind and are thus more difficult to prove." We all know what Trump's "state of mind" is. He's deranged, demented and delusional – and getting worse by the day.

Members of Congress take an oath to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic" and to "bear true faith and allegiance to the same." Prior to – and during – the deadly, Trump-incited Capitol riot, many Congressmen decided spreading Trump's baseless claims of "widespread voter fraud" and "a rigged, stolen election" was more important than fulfilling their Constitutional duty to certify the election of Joe Biden as President.
Ex-lawmakers request ethics probes into sitting members of Congress linked to January 6
The Hill, Dec 17 2022 10:25 AM ET
Thirty-six former House lawmakers are calling for ethics investigations into sitting members of Congress "who played a role" in the events on the day of and before the January 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol, arguing that elected officials involved with the riot "must be held accountable.” In an open letter, the group – which includes former House members from both parties – is calling on sitting lawmakers in the lower chamber to "demand that the Office of Congressional Ethics thoroughly investigate" members linked to the Capitol riot.

House January 6 committee recommends criminal charges against Trump
Yahoo News, Dec 19 2022 11:17 AM
The House panel investigating the violent January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol urged the Justice Department today to seek criminal charges against former President Donald Trump for his extensive efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss. Lawmakers recommended charges on four counts stemming from Trump’s monthslong effort to stay in power after his election defeat: obstruction of an official proceeding, conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to make a false statement and efforts to incite, assist or aid or comfort an insurrection.
The panel voted unanimously to send the criminal referrals to the Justice Department. The referrals, which mark the first time the House has recommended criminal charges against a former President, do not guarantee that Trump will be indicted but they do add to the evidence being weighed by the Justice Department and special counsel Jack Smith in its own investigation of Trump.

The House select committee today issued an 845-page report detailing Donald Trump's efforts to overturn the results of a free and fair election and detailing the deadly, Trump-incited Capitol riot. The committee is recommending that Congress invoke the 14th Amendment and bar Trump from ever again holding public office. That, of course, will not happen. Retrumplicans continue to worship Trump and continue to protect him and defend him. Deranged, demented, delusional Donald's response to the committee's report was totally predictable: He blamed Nancy Pelosi for the insurrection and he again squawked "election fraud!" and "witch hunt!"

"Semper fidelis," the motto of the United States Marines, is Latin for "Always faithful" and represents "an eternal and collective commitment to the success of our battles, the progress of our nation and the steadfast loyalty to the fellow Marines we fight alongside." For these three Marines who believed Donald Trump's lies of a rigged and stolen election and obeyed his command to "march to the Capitol and fight like hell," their loyalty was to Trump and no one else. How sad and how pathetic.
