Members of the House committee investigating the Capitol riot said Sunday they have uncovered enough evidence for the Justice Department to consider a criminal indictment against Donald Trump for seeking to overturn his 2020 election defeat.
'I would like to see the Justice Department investigate any credible allegation of criminal activity on the part of Donald Trump or anyone else,' said committee member Rep. Adam Schiff.He later added: 'They need to be investigated if there's credible evidence, which I think there is.' The committee held its first public hearing last week, with members laying out their case against Trump

We're still waiting for Schiff to produce his ''smoking gun'' evidence of Russian collusion that he repeatedly claimed to have.

Yes and the arrest that will shock the world will be Donald Trump arrested cuffed up and perp walked to jail. Go ahead and do it to gutless cowards and unleash the dogs of hell in this country. What’s the evidence? Hillary’sRussian collusion scam? Something Barr has in his desk drawer hidden in a brown Manila envelope?

Better work fast Schiffty. In 5 months, your authority to investigate will be withdrawn and YOU may be facing an investigation or two yourself. A little turnabout would be quite good for America.

Read the article closely. Underneath the blather from Schiff is the fact that they don’t have a thing on Trump. Let’s see what Justice does with this. I’m making no predictions because I don’t trust that weasel Garland.

Schiff should be put in jail for these political indictments, all based on lies created by the Democrats. The Republicans have to realize that they can not have the leader of their party persecuted and harassed out of office. This is the 3rd successful coup of a Republican president: Nixon, HWBush, and now Trump. The Republican Party allows their leaders to be stabbed in the back, they joining the Democrats. Republicans should recognize that they had better not become leaders, or they will receive the same treatment.

What a surprise! Adam Schiff is back with another of his false claims, blaming Donald Trump for the chaos arranged and paid for by political operatives. Another dirty trick from the same folks who brought us the Russia Hoax.
Note that Shifty has yet to apologize to America, or Donald Trump, for pushing the thoroughly debunked Russia Hoax. I remember when Schiff looked Americans in the eye and claimed he had seen "ample evidence of collusion in plain sight." I also remember he produced no such thing. Just a big talker pretending to have access to information that didn't exist.
The "investigators" of the Capitol riot are back again, playing the same game. Big talkers claiming to have evidence Donald Trump "incited" those riots. If these politicians really cared about the out of control crowd, they would be investigating the people who repeatedly denied the Capitol Police Chief the National Guard troops he asked for. It was the deliberate lack of security, not President Trump, that led to the rioting.

They've been investigating and indicting and impeaching Trump for SIX YEARS already, this BS about "having enough evidence to charge Trump" is as old and tedious as "release the Kraken". Good grief, media, do your job and call their bluff already! Political theater, masquerading as another delayed impeachment...

The leftist, progressive, and socialist Democrats would be pleased as punch if Biden’s Attorney General authorized a Democrat Grand Jury in DC to investigate and indict Trump right before the November election on some bogus politically based charges, assign the case to a politicized Democrat DC judge, and hold a criminal trial before a DC Democrat trial jury. What could be fairer than a kangaroo operation than that?

Let’s see if the DOJ and the FBI continue to run”interference” for Biden & family. The People can recall AGs for malfeasance, but not nitwits like Schiff? Or the demented like Biden? THe American people are hoping that the Democrats and Biden will just go away … kind of like the German people, who finally figured out that Hitler was a nutcake, hoped that he would just go away. BUT Nutcakes only get worse.

The closest thing to "evidence" that Schiff ever got on Trump and Russia is when the Eastern European radio shock jocks spoofed him with "pictures of naked Trump."
I wouldn't believe that lot if they told me the sun was shining if it were high noon on a clear day in a room full of windows without looking out a window.

IF the dems had anything they would have already leaked it to abccbsnbccnnmsnbc.. Maybe Trump will subpoena,Liz, Adam, Schiff & Nadler??

Democrats know this is all bunk. However, being the crazed lunatics they are, it would be enough to sully his reputation here and around the world with the false accusations. Furthermore, an indictment would also cost President Trump millions and bankrupting him with massive legal fees would be so satisfying. Never underestimate the ability of the democrat party to destroy you. I just hope their insanity has put them on par with Captain Ahab and that they suffer the same fate.

Remember that scene in ABSENCE OF MALICE where the federal prosecutor questions the Paul Newman character:
"Rosen: I show you photostats of two cashier's checks drawn on the Flagship National Bank, made payable to the Committee for a Better Miami. Have you seen them before?
Gallagher: Yeah, they're mine.
Rosen: For what purpose did you make these checks?
Gallagher: To contribute to the committee.
Rosen: Why was that?
Gallagher: Because they do good work.
Rosen: Are you aware the committee's interested in the political career of Mr Quinn?
Gallagher: So? That's okay with me.
Rosen: Let me point out that these checks were drawn immediately before and immediately after your meeting with Mr Quinn. What do you make of that? What do you make of it? You're trying to say you just got an urge to contribute to his committee before you met with him and then right after?
Gallagher: Yeah. I came into some extra money a couple of days later.
Rosen: You made these contributions anonymously. Why?
Gallagher: I wanted them to be anonymous.
Rosen: I'll bet. Tell us why.
Gallagher: I didn't want people asking for contributions!
Rosen: You made them anonymously because you were paying off.
Gallagher: Prove it."

Read the 14th amendment to the constitution and you will understand why the dems constantly use the word "insurrection" with regard to Trump.
"No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in INSURRECTION or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability."

Our election board had only one county out of 92 with "anomalies" but as we wstched on the next Wednesday, November 4th the states traditionally Democrat, Republican and those that track with Ohio and Florida changed from leads for the President to huge Biden vote dumps that exceeded any historical pattern. What was exposed is states ignored as traditional D or "blue" had anomalies also like Colorado where Juducial Watch found the largest number of counties with over 100% registered voter turnout. This is what Pelosi, Schiff, Cheney, Kinzinger and the filth want you to pay attention to, not the fact that many more states are corrupted.

This is what democrat desperation looks like. They know, if he decides to run, that Trump will wipe the floor with the democrats. Worse still is the fact that a now better informed Trump would know exactly how to disable his foes in the swamp and be more careful about the people he puts in his cabinet.

For four years Adam Schiff claimed he had Trump dead-to-rights on Russian collaboration and he never had squat. What does "enough evidence to begin an investigation" even mean -- particularly after the J-6 circus has been "investigating" for months?

DO IT! It will trigger the biggest landslide victory for Trump that even all their corruption won't be able to stop him! And, do they really think when Republicans get back in the White House there won't be all kinds on investigations on every single one on that committee! Turnabout is fair play!

Constitutional law expert Alan Dershowitz stated on Friday that the Jan. 6 committee's public hearing on Thursday night was ''not a fair proceeding'' in that it was ''one-sided'' and ''unethical.''
''Take, for example, President Trump's speech on Jan. 6,'' Dershowitz continued. 'He said at the end of the speech he wanted people to show their voices patriotically and peacefully.
''They doctored the tape,'' he continued. ''They edited those words out. If a prosecutor ever did that, they'd be disbarred. You can't present part of the tape and deliberately omit the rest of the tape in order to mislead the audience, especially when the other side has no opportunity to cross-examine, no opportunity to present its own evidence.''

The whole J6 thing, both the event itself and the current TV show, has only ever been about one thing: getting Trump. It is a desperate attempt to fabricate something to prevent Trump from running in 2024. The globalist fascists who run the Biden puppet show are terrified of Trump 2024. They are so obsessed they can't see anything else.
They should be very careful. Because if they don’t like Trump, they are REALLY going to hate the candidate we send up next. They are so focused on the past, so obsessed with Trump, that they don't have even the first glimmer of a clue what’s headed right at them. Trump or not, the juggernaut of support our next candidate will have and the unexpected direction our next candidate will hit them from will finish them off.
Go ahead. Keep it up with the Trump hate. See what happens.

We all know FJB is illegitimate because Democrats stole the election. Because of the steal, Biden managed to lower the Dow Jones to 500 points below what it was with Donaldus Magnus. The Great Biden Recession and his new war with Russia will cause enormous suffering. Trump represents Peace and Prosperity.
