In an historically unprecedented move, the January 6 Committee recommended criminal indictment against President Trump for actions surrounding January 6th:
The Jan. 6 select House committee voted to refer former President Donald Trump to the Department of Justice for criminal investigation and potential prosecution for trying to overturn the 2020 election.
The criminal referral of Trump accuses him of obstructing an official proceeding, conspiracy to defraud the government, and inciting or assisting an insurrection.
The recommendation by the committee is not binding on the DOJ, which is already investigating Trump for actions covered by the referral.
Trump last month announced that he will seek the Republican nomination for president in 2024.
What is especially remarkable and malicious about this criminal referral is that, if convicted, some legal scholars argue that Trump — the presumptive GOP nominee for the 2024 presidential election — could be barred from holding federal office under the 14th amendment.
Revolver News has covered the corrupt and hyper partisan nature of the January 6 Committee extensively. Simply put, the January 6 witch hunt must be thought of as a politically motivated third impeachment attempt against President Trump — an impeachment attempt that has some very dark fingerprints on it:
It would be one thing if Norm Eisen were just a bystander, cheering on the prospect of a potential political prosecution of his nemesis, President Trump. But unsurprisingly, a little digging reveals that Norm Eisen has enjoyed a much more direct and disturbing involvement in shaping the January 6 Committee than previously understood. The details are scandalous, but not surprising. After all, we reported years ago that there is no man alive more decorated for plots against Trump, and why should January 6 be any different?
…
This leaked David Brock memo was written before President Trump took office, further suggesting that all of the efforts to undermine Trump have not been good faith responses to his behavior, but a pre-ordained attack strategy designed to overturn the 2016 election by any means necessary. Eisen conducted most of his impeachment activity before there was any discussion or knowledge of President Trump’s call to the Ukrainian President in 2018–indeed, before the call even happened. Impeachment was very clearly a foregone conclusion. If you will recall, Norm Eisen and Joseph Sellers dropped the emoluments clause civil complaint against Trump just days after Trump’s inauguration.
But the attempt to overturn the 2016 election failed, as did Eisen’s various impeachment attempts. But Norm Eisen and crew are nothing if not persistent. The next step in their master plan is to use similar lawfare tactics to take Trump and his supporters out of the running for 2024. And that explains why Norm Eisen’s old lawfare accomplice Joseph Sellers represented Bennie Thompson in a lawsuit against Trump whose conspiracy theory of Trump’s allegedly unlawful incitement on January 6 then became the basis for the nominally bipartisan and unbiased January 6 Select Committee, chaired by none other than Bennie Thompson!
Though Norm Eisen resigned from CREW, he founded a new lawfare arm shamelessly called the States United Democracy Center. States United appears to pick up where CREW left off. When it is not targeting so-called “election deniers” running for office (that is, those who dare question the integrity of the 2020 election), States United is directly engaged in anti-Trump lawfare related to January 6.
In another key report, Revolver reported on the conflicts of interest surrounding the chair of the January 6 Committee Bennie Thompson. Bennie Thompson, after all, also happens to be the Department of Homeland Security’s man in congress:
Thompson is a key component in the establishment DNC’s merger with the national security state after 9/11, using the pretext of fake “domestic terrorism”. As an untouchable incumbent in Mississippi with 28 years in Congress, Thompson was the chair of the Homeland Security Committee from 2007-2011 and has been back in charge again since 2019.
Essentially, whenever Democrats have a majority in the House, Thompson is put in as the hatchet man to control oversight of the Department of Homeland Security.
Bennie Thompson scratches the back of an ever-expanding US national security state. In turn, Thompson is rewarded with plush committee chair roles and an expanding DHS turf of his own.
Indeed, Thompson was tapped to serve as the Permanent Chair of the 2020 Democratic National Convention. In the 2020 election, Thompson presided over all official business of the convention that made Joe Biden the Democratic nominee for President.
Ironically, in 2004, Thompson was one of only 31 House Democrats who voted to overturn the results of the Bush-Gore election. But today, the vast Department of Homeland Security agency reports to him. And that agency now calls anyone who claims fraud in the 2020 election “Potential Terror Threats.”
Dark and disturbing…
