Congress passes bill to formally investigate Trump's 1/6 Insurrection

[reagansghost]

Legislation will establish a 10-person bipartisan commission. Five commissioners, including the chair, will be appointed by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. The other five, including the vice chair, will be appointed by House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.

"The commission will be charged with studying the facts and circumstances of the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol as well as the influencing factors that may have provoked the attack on our democracy," according to the committee.

"Commissioners must have significant expertise in the areas of law enforcement, civil rights, civil liberties, privacy, intelligence and cybersecurity.

Current government officers or employees are prohibited from appointment."

The commission will be granted authority to issue subpoenas, which will require agreement between the chair and the vice chair, or a vote by a majority of members.

The commission will be required to issue a final report with findings and recommendations to "prevent future attacks on our democratic institutions" by Dec. 31, 2021.

Congress has arrest powers?

Congress can subpoena Trump, he will lie of course, obstruction of justice charges

Following a contempt citation, the presiding officer of the chamber is instructed to refer the matter to the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia;[20] according to the law it is the duty of the U.S. Attorney to refer the matter to a grand jury for action.

The criminal offense of contempt of Congress sets the penalty at not less than one month nor more than twelve months in jail and a fine of not more than $100,000 or less than $100.[9]

Civil procedures

Senate Rules authorize the Senate to direct the Senate Legal Counsel to file a civil action against any private individual found in contempt. Upon motion by the Senate, the federal district court issues another order for a person to comply with Senate process. If the subject then refuses to comply with the Court's order, the person may be cited for contempt of court and may incur sanctions imposed by the Court. The process has been used at least six times.

The Democratic chairman and Republican ranking member of the House Homeland Security Committee reached agreement Friday on the creation of an independent, 9/11-style commission to investigate the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol and propose ways to keep the building secure from future attacks.

“It is imperative that we seek the truth of what happened on January 6 with an independent, bipartisan 9/11-type Commission to examine and report upon the facts, causes and security relating to the terrorist mob attack,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said in a statement.

antifa and blm are fucking terrorists

Ooooo so scared. Hey while they are at it maybe they could impeach him again too.

Says someone who doesn't understand what impeachment means. LOL

BTW, if they decide to file federal charges, they might have to dig Trump out of a NY state prison first.

[Doc Dutch]

They sure will hand the people all the facts they find

Agreed. It's like the 9/11 investigation. It wasn't Congress running around arresting terrorists. Domestically, that's left up to the DOJ.

And the Barr DOJ was evil and lied their ass off to protect trump


He’s going to prison too

Possibly, but I doubt it. Barr knew where the lines were drawn.....even if the lines were a little fuzzy.

He bailed when the line became clear and made sure he was on the correct side of it.
