This is sickening. The President of the United States, for 2 hours, watched the people breaching the capitol building, and chose to do nothing.
They are trying to decide now if this is criminal or not.
House Committee Says Trump's Jan. 6 Response May Prompt DOJ Referral (businessinsider.com)
- Trump reportedly "gleefully watched" the insurrection as it unfolded.
- Rep. Bennie Thompson says Trump's response could result in a referral to the DOJ.
- Lawmakers are interested in why it took Trump so long to tell rioters to leave
Rep. Bennie Thompson said the January 6 committee could consider a criminal referral against former President Donald Trump if it finds he was derelict in his duty to stop the insurrection.
Thompson, the committee chairman, said lawmakers were told Trump watched television for hours while rioters tore through the Capitol.
"You are commander-in-chief of the … best superpower in the world and if you're seeing the United States Capitol under attack by people who you sent there and it takes you 187 minutes for you to say, 'This is wrong and you need to home,' then as my Vice Chair [Rep. Liz Cheney] has said that borders on dereliction of duty and it might necessitate a referral for the Department of Justice to look at," Thompson told The Washington Post's Jonathan Capehart on the first anniversary of the insurrection.

Thompson confirmed that former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham told the House select committee that Trump watched TV for hours as the riot unfolded going so far as to rewind the footage and rewatch it. Grisham told CNN Trump was "gleefully watching" the riot.
