The bipartisan Jan 6 investigation just showed testimony from witness after witness in Trump's inner circle showing unequivocally that Donald Trump knew he lost yet still pushed, planned, and promoted a baseless conspiracy in the hopes of overturning the election, even through violent means.
This weekend, Jamie Raskin and others on the committee said on national news shows they have uncovered sufficient evidence for the Department of Justice to launch a criminal indictment against Trump.
Even with more bombshells sure to come in these hearings, the January 6th committee has done its job. Now it’s time for Merrick Garland to do his.
Failure to hold those who broke the law legally accountable will allow future attacks to succeed and the threat to our democracy will only grow.
We will deliver signatures to Merrick Garland’s office and share the support for this petition with the media and key allies in Congress.
Americans are now seeing the factual evidence of a criminal conspiracy that started long before the violence on Jan 6 that injured 140 police officers. In the lead up to the attack, Trump and his allies made it harder for people to vote, attempted to appoint bogus electors to overturn the will of voters, and intimidated state officials to change the results in multiple states.
But this is not just about the past. What the committee is showing proves that Trump and his allies are part of an ongoing campaign to sabotage future elections by changing state laws, threatening state officials, and packing election administration offices so that they can have the final say over election results -- even when they lose.
This was -- and still is -- an attack on our vote, our voice, and our democracy. The threat will continue and grow until those who broke the law are held accountable.
We must hold those involved in this criminal conspiracy accountable -- even if they are former Presidents or members of Congress -- in order to protect our right to vote and choose our own leaders.
Thanks for being a bold progressive.
