Dear People For supporter,
The bipartisan House Select Committee investigating the events of January
6, 2021 recently reported in a court filing that they have evidence
showing a "good-faith basis for concluding" that former president Trump
illegally sought to obstruct an official proceeding, and "did so
corruptly." ^[ [link removed] ]
This is huge – and if the rule of law means anything, the former president
MUST be held accountable.
[1]Please add your name to our joint petition with Common Cause calling on
the Department of Justice to investigate this new evidence and, if
warranted, convene a grand jury to indict Trump. >>
The evidence centers around an alleged criminal conspiracy to defraud the
people of the United States by preventing Congress from certifying
President Biden’s 2020 win.
Much of the DOJ’s work is done behind closed doors, of course – so there
may be efforts underway that the public doesn’t know about yet. But
whether or not this is the case, Attorney General Garland needs to hear
that we’re counting on the DOJ to hold Trump accountable and protect our
democracy from his authoritarian agenda.
If Garland and the DOJ look the other way and decline to investigate these
serious allegations, they’ll tacitly give Trump – as well as all future
presidents – a green light to abuse their power and violate this country’s
bedrock principle of accountability and equal justice under the law.
[ [link removed] ]Please sign the petition today asking the Department of Justice to
thoroughly investigate the new evidence from the January 6 Select
Committee, and pursue the appropriate indictments to uphold the rule of
law. >>
Thank you in advance for speaking out for accountability for the events of
last January 6. With your help, we’ll continue fighting for an America
that delivers freedom, justice, and equality under the law for everyone.
Sincerely,
Ben Jealous, President
