Yes, Trump is liable
Will they do anything about it?
Members of the House committee investigating the Capitol riot said Sunday they have uncovered enough evidence for the Justice Department to consider an unprecedented criminal indictment against former President Donald Trump for seeking to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
The committee announced that Trump’s campaign manager, Bill Stepien, is among the witnesses scheduled to testify at a hearing Monday that focuses on Trump’s effort to spread his lies about a stolen election. Stepien was subpoenaed for his public testimony.
As the hearings unfold, Rep. Adam Schiff said he would like the department to “investigate any credible allegation of criminal activity on the part of Donald Trump.” Schiff, D-Calif., who also leads the House Intelligence Committee, said that ”there are certain actions, parts of these different lines of effort to overturn the election that I don’t see evidence the Justice Department is investigating.”
He would have a better idea if there is evidence the DOJ is investigating than we do. So that’s disturbing. But sadly, not surprising. The DOJ was right on top of Hillary Clinton’s emails and the head of the FBI even destroyed her campaign with his public pronouncements about the investigation. But that was Clinton. This is Trump and all he’s accused of is trying to stop the peaceful transfer of power and stage a coup. It’s probably not worth them taking the chance of right wing disapprobation.
I hope no one is getting their hopes up about Trump ever being held accountable for anything. They are placing the responsibility on the voters, many of whom are being brainwashed daily by right wing propaganda and foreign interference, not to mention manipulation of the actual voting systems. I don’t think the leaders of the Department of Justice think any of this falls within their purview.
