GOPs usual embrace of #Trump muted after criminal referral

The #RepublicanParty quickly and forcefully rallied behind #DonaldTrump in the hours after federal agents seized classified documents from his Florida estate this summer.

4 months later, that sense of intensity & urgency is missing.

Leading #Republicans largely avoided the historic criminal referral Monday, while others pressed to weigh in offered muted defenses if any.

Gone unheeded, of course!

Now he’s calling the #criminalreferrals
”double jeopardy” because he already “won” the impeachment trial. 🤦🏻‍♀️

@CREW tweets:

The January 6th Select Committee just referred Trump to the DOJ for 4 crimes:

1. Obstruction of an official proceeding,

2. Conspiracy to defraud the United States,

3. Conspiracy to make a false statement and

4. Inciting, assisting or aiding or comforting an insurrection

The #January6thCommittee urged the Justice Dept to bring criminal charges against #DonaldTrump for the violent 2021 Capitol #insurrection, calling for accountability for the former president and "a time of reflection & reckoning."

This is the first time in history that a congressional committee has recommended that the Justice Dept. launch a criminal investigation into a former U.S. president.
