The Capitol riot committee is weighing whether Trump could be guilty of criminal obstruction of CongressSeveral members of the House committee investigating the Capitol riot are weighing up whether former President Donald Trump is potentially liable for criminal obstruction of Congress in connection to the January 6 attack, Politico reported. Republican Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming, co-chair of the House committee investigating the January 6 siege, this week floated the idea that Trump may be criminally culpable for the events at the Capitol. Politico reported Wednesday that other members of the bipartisan committee are considering the same question. "It's clearly one of the things on the mind of some of the members of the committee," Rep. Jamie Raskin, a member of the committee, told the outlet. "I think that we're trying to understand those 187 minutes that he didn't say anything — what that means. And we're trying to put some more light on that. I personally am not drawing any conclusions on where that takes us," said panel member Rep. Pete Aguilar, a Democrat from California. Cheney's comments this week highlighted a federal statute that makes it illegal to obstruct an official proceeding. She said it would be key to the committee's investigation into Trump's activity during the riot. It comes after the committee held Mark Meadows, Trump's former chief of staff, in contempt as part of an effort to force him to cooperate with the probe. "Mr. Meadows' testimony will bear on a key question in front of this Committee: Did Donald Trump, through action or inaction, corruptly seek to obstruct or impede Congress's official proceeding to count electoral votes?" — Cheney said. "Mr. Meadows' testimony will inform our legislative judgments on those issues." Legal experts told Insider's C. Ryan Barber that Cheney's remarks appeared to be a clear reference to the same charge hundreds of people who stormed Congress have faced — that of "corruptly obstructing an official proceeding." Randall Eliason, a former federal prosecutor and now a professor at the George Washington University Law School, told Insider that Trump could be "equally liable" for the charge if he was found to have played a role in encouraging others to obstruct a congressional proceeding. Eliason said that prosecutors would have to find evidence that Trump played an active role in the event, rather than simply having allowed it to happen. |

Maybe you should wait for the entire report to come out? Someone breaking into the capitol building where congressional members are? A mob riot? Sorry, she shouldn't have been tehre and I 100% support they protecting our government. I read what you write and I see that you are so deep in bed with Trump that you are unable to see this rationally. A rational mind would say, "Let's wait for all the evidence to come out". You? You are fact-free... You don't care about facts unless they support your long-held beliefs. By the way, I know it pains you that Biden has so much more character and presidential qualities than Trump. Trump is a thug. You know it deep down inside, but you embrace his hatred because it embodies your own hatred. It's pretty clear Obsy Hate loves hate |

All I saw was police officers opening the door for people telling them to come in.
I actually heard one of the officers ask someone if they needed help up the stairs.
Yeah, they sound like real rioters.

Educate yourself and look at the video Obsy so you actually know what you're talking about. Does it look like her trying to go through a window on a locked door is anyone "letting her in"?

You seem to think that you are the know-all.......with......everything. Your videos are worthless. You remember when you stooges tried showing us videos of children in cages when Trump wa POTUS??? You remember that little gem ballslap??? Turns out those videos were during obozos terms. Did you ever apologize for that?? Yeah, didn't think so. SO now you want to pass on some BS video with BLM members posing as Trump supporters causing a commotion. Anf if there's anything legit in the video, it's no doubt taken out of context. So yeah, educate YOURSELF |
