After almost two years, despite having seen most of it many times now, the on-the-ground footage from the January 6th riot has lost none of its impact on me. Watching it is still a gut punch, every time.
Also, I love Ruby Freeman.
She's a national treasure, and the harassment she's suffered is a national shame.
Raskin now talking about criminal referrals.
Committee recommending prosecution of Trump for Obstruction of an Official Proceeding, Trump, Eastman and others for Conspiracy to Defraud the US.
And Trump and others for 1001 (for the false electors) and (the big one) inciting insurrection.
Raskin is being forceful and unequivocal. Speaking like a prosecutor announcing indictments
Committee adjourns.
Worth noting that the criminal referrals have only limited legal significance. The big deal is the body of sworn testimony and other evidence they developed that comes along with it, and that will be very useful to any prosecutors who file charges.
toxtethogrady@mattblaze I think the list of charges is compelling. And maybe Jack Smith is compelled...
