At today's Jan 6 hearing, Congressman Jamie Raskin connected the dots proving that Trump coordinated with far-right extremist groups to incite the violent mob that attacked the Capitol.
MSNBC described it as the most momentous hearing yet.
By the time today's hearing was over, a witness familiar with the inside-workings of the Oath Keepers testified that "We've been lucky that we haven't seen more bloodshed yet....The potential for violence was so much more. I fear for this next election cycle."
Former prosecutor and moderate Democratic Senator Claire McCaskill said on MSNBC, "I really think there’s enough evidence here to indict...I think it is a big risk to not do it." It is time for Merrick Garland to do his job. Failure to hold ALL 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.
Then, John, will you help push out several key moments from today's hearing that all Americans should see:

Americans are now seeing the factual evidence of a criminal conspiracy that started long before the violence on Jan 6 and that -- as has been said many times over the course of these hearings -- continues to this day.
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.
