💥Boom! Criminal referrals of Donald Trump. Love that the former law professor walks through the statutes

18 USC § 1512(c) (obstruction)
18 USC § 371 (defraud clause)
18 USC § 1001 (false statements)
18 USC § 2383 (insurrection)

@jentaub Raskin was on fire. His delivery was excellent
@colterpeanut @jentaub
Agreed! I wondered if it wasn’t a holiday gift for him to get to be the one to read the referrals 🤣… “Ok Jamie, ok… you can read them”. I do so appreciate his intensity and integrity! 🔥
@jentaub this is great. Now we just have to keep DeSantis out of Office.
@jentaub Referring Trump seemed a foregone result. I'm more interested in who they're referring for criminal, and Congressional, action as co-conspirators, especially those who were and/or still are members of the US Senate and US House of Representatives
@jentaub if only the justice department will act on it expediently
@jentaub love that my former coworker (of sorts) Jamie Raskin brought the hammer down on Trump. 👍👍👍 Way to go, Jamie.
@jentaub They didn't say a word about #GinniThomas. We'll have to wait for the report to know who "and others" means I guess.
@jentaub I really appreciated the pedagogy wrapped up in the announcement. I learned a few things.
@jentaub But will anything actually come of this?
@jentaub A gripping statement by Raskin & the entire committee conducted their investigation brilliantly.
@jentaub anyone willing to hazard a guess on a timeline from here?
@jentaub I’d be really happy with that. 🤞🏼🤞🏼
@jentaub Wondering if he could contemplate to flee the country to avoid prosecution.
@jentaub IT IS WAY PAST TIME TO LOCK HIM UP!!!! LET’S GO DOJ!
@jentaub It will be so exciting to see Trump go down. Get the 🍿 ready!
@jentaub If you could draw the exact opposite of Donald Trump, you would get Jamie Raskin.
@jentaub It seems they could have referred quite a few more. Are these the strongest charges available/provable? I don't know.
@jentaub super! DoJ make it happen asap please 🙏🏼
@jentaub my favorite moment of the day.
@jentaub Really enjoyed watching you flex your legal and literary superpowers last night at Dynasty Typewriter.
@jentaub But will the DOJ and Garland do anything? Garland and the DOJ are too paranoid of what Republicans will say about them and then what Republicans might do to them later. That's why they're not prosecuting obvious crimes by Trump!
