I hope Trump is indicted and convicted on the Jan 6th insurrection case?!!
Former President Donald Trump is bracing yet another indictment, this time over his failed attempts to remain in power after losing the 2020 election and his loyalists’ violent attack on Congress.
Department of Justice Special Counsel Jack Smith’s prosecutors on Sunday alerted Trump’s lawyers that the former president is the target of the second phase of his criminal investigation, Trump announced.
In a Tuesday morning post on his Truth Social network, Trump revealed what he called “HORRIFYING NEWS for our Country.” He said the DOJ’s special prosecutor had “effectively issued a third indictment and arrest,” calling Smith “deranged.”
“I am a TARGET of the January 6th Grand Jury investigation,” he declared, noting that the Justice Department has given him “a very short 4 days to report to the Grand Jury.”
Peter Carr, a spokesman for the DOJ team handling this extremely sensitive investigation, declined to comment.
For more than two years, there have been calls for law enforcement to hold the former president accountable for attempting to end the U.S. tradition of a peaceful transfer of power from one administration to the next. As the bipartisan House Jan. 6 Committee discovered during a long-running investigation, Trump refused to concede his loss to his rival in 2020 and proceeded to employ a three-prong attack to remain in the White House.
Trump used an army of lawyers to file nonsense lawsuits across the country in an attempt to block votes for now-President Joe Biden. He placed a menacing phone call to Georgia’s top elections official to try pressuring him into flipping voting results there.
And, citing made-up legal theories, he coordinated with MAGA loyalists in Congress to pause certification of electoral ballots in a bid to send envelopes back to states, where Republicans could attempt to replace real votes with fake ones for Trump. The threat was heightened by the presence of armed and violent protofascist gangs—like the Oathkeepers, Three Percenters, and Proud Boys—who broke into the Capitol Building with Trump fans.
While there have been more than 1,069 people charged with crimes for that assault, law enforcement has yet to pursue cases against the few at the top who orchestrated it all.
