Jan. 6 probes: What's next for Congress, criminal cases?

Jan. 6 probes: What's next for Congress, criminal cases?
and raised her right hand mm What Cassidy Hutchinson revealed in her nearly three hours of public testimony with the committee was possibly the Clearest link that Trump knew about the violence that would take place on January six. And not only did he know, but that he was okay with it. Her office is just right down the hall from the oval office, she was Chief of Staff to Mark Meadows. She was backstage when the president gave his big rally on january 6th. There at the white, in front of the White House, at the ellipse announced area tent behind the stage. He was very concerned about the shot, meaning the photograph that we would get because the rally space wasn't full. Um, and he felt the mags were at fault for not letting everybody in, but another leading reason and likely the primary reasons because he wanted it full. And he was angry that we weren't letting people through the Mags with weapons. The complainant had seen like the *** of *** Ar 15 and that was just terrifying to me. I was not allowed to bring in *** gas mask or *** protective vest to the january 6th rally. I was not allowed to bring them at all. So I had no protective equipment with me and he just wanted them to come right on through with those things. No problem. And so that was just, it gave me pause hearing that and then just hearing the amount of guns that were in the crowd. Really, it felt dangerous on the ground that day. We're going to try and give them the kind of pride and boldness that they need to take back our country. So let's walk down pennsylvania avenue tells his supporters to march to the capital and to fight like hell for democracy, for an election that was stolen from that. And immediately after that trump is put in his motorcade and he has every plan to go to the capitol with his supporters and it is in that motorcade where Secret Service informs him that that is not possible. The president reached up towards the front of the vehicle to crab at the steering wheel. Mr. Engel grabbed his arm said sir, you need to take your hand off the steering wheel. We're going back to the west wing, we're not going to the capitol mr trump. Then used his free hand to lunge towards bobby angle and mr when Mr Renato had recounted this story to me, he had motioned towards his clavicles. Patsy bologna trump's White House counsel messaged cassie Hutchinson while those conversations about trump going to the capitol were happening and pretty much told her to shut it down, laid out really clearly the legal implications of sitting president traveling to the capital unscheduled while there is *** mob also storming their way there *** defeated president standing in front of the capitol with *** mob of supporters, hundreds, thousands of people, some of them armed fighting for his presidency. It would have been *** scene like nothing americans or the world had seen. There's something that americans now have *** better understanding of what, what could have happened, what was intended to happen that day.

But the Jan. 6 committee is preparing for more hearings in September, and investigations persist in multiple jurisdictions and venues. New details will be unearthed. Additional criminal cases against the rioters who stormed the Capitol are a safe bet. Other prosecutions 바카라 게임 웹사이트 Georgia Republicans were recently warned they could face charges 바카라 게임 웹사이트 could be on the horizon, too.

A look at what lies ahead:

The Justice Department

In keeping with department protocol, federal prosecutors haven't said anything publicly about scrutiny of Trump himself.

Attorney General Merrick Garland told reporters Wednesday that "we do not do our investigations in public." But he left no doubt about the scope of the probe, calling it "the most important investigation that the Justice Department has ever entered into."

He also said "no person is above the law" and vowed to hold wrongdoers "at any level" accountable as signs point to an investigation that is intensifying rather than winding down.

Officials have so far arrested more than 855 people in connection with the riot, and the work to identify those who broke into the building continues. Yet the investigation goes far beyond that, as prosecutors in recent weeks have made clear their interest in broader efforts by Trump allies to undo the election results.

Last month, the FBI opened a new front of investigative activity by seizing records from a group of Republicans who served as fake electors in battleground states won by Democrat Joe Biden. Trump and his allies pushed officials in those states to replace Biden's duly selected electors with ones who supported him as they advanced claims that his victory had been stolen.

As for Trump, who has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing, it remains unclear whether prosecutors might eventually seek to bring criminal charges.

Legal experts have said damaging testimony from the hearings, including the assertion that he sought to join his supporters at the Capitol on Jan. 6 or that he dismissed warnings that many had weapons, gives prosecutors territory to explore. Some have said his overall campaign to cast aside the election results, and his desire to interfere with the congressional certification of the count, could amount to a criminal conspiracy to defraud the the United States.

As Democrats pressure Garland to make a decision, he and his team say their decisions are based on the facts, the evidence and the law. There are other considerations, though, that could conceivably come into play even if prosecutors assemble strong evidence.

Any prosecution of Trump is likely to further inflame tensions in an already deeply polarized country. And if the former president were to soon announce another run for office, a decision to charge him could inject the department deeply into presidential politics.

At the Capitol

The committee's investigation isn't over, and the panel plans to hold new hearings in September. Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney, the Republican vice chairwoman, says the nine-member panel "has far more evidence to share with the American people and more to gather."

"Doors have opened, new subpoenas have been issued and the dam has begun to break," Cheney said Thursday. "We have considerably more to do."

One major unresolved question is whether the committee will call Trump or former Vice President Mike Pence to testify. Members have debated whether to summon Trump, the main focus of their probe but a witness who has railed against the investigation, denied much of the evidence and whose credibility would be open to attack.

The panel could also invite Pence for closed-door testimony or ask him to answer written questions. Members have debated whether he is needed since many of his closest aides have already testified. His top lawyer at the White House, Greg Jacob, testified at one of the committee's hearings in June and characterized much of Pence's thought process during the time when Trump was pressuring him to try and block or delay Biden's win.

Georgia

The inquiry that perhaps poses the most immediate peril to Trump is based in Fulton County, Georgia, where District Attorney Fani Willis has been investigating efforts by the former president to get state officials to undo his election loss by imploring them to "find" votes he 바카라 게임 웹사이트 falsely 바카라 게임 웹사이트 claimed had been stolen from them.

Willis has said she is contemplating subpoenaing Trump for his testimony, a move that would seek to force him to cooperate with a criminal probe even as he lays the groundwork for another run for office.

Prosecutors have already sought the testimony of several Trump associates, including lawyer Rudy Giuliani and Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham. They've also advised 16 Georgia Republicans that they are at risk of being indicted.
