It was a long time coming, but the House Select Committee investigating Donald Trump for inciting an insurrection on January 6, 2021, has finally completed its work. And the first order of business was to issue criminal referrals<\/a><\/strong> to the Justice Department for Trump’s well documented crimes.<\/p>\n

\"Donald<\/p>\n

The Committee is recommending that charges be brought against Trump for obstruction of an official proceeding, conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to make a false statement, and incitement, rebellion or insurrection. It’s a historic and unprecedented action taken in response to the historic and unprecedented acts of a rogue president. And Trump predictably lashed out at the Committee (that he was too chicken to testify before<\/a><\/strong>) with all the determination of a bratty six year old denied a toy that he wanted. On his pitifully floundering Twitter ripoff, Truth Social<\/a><\/strong>, Trump said<\/a> that…<\/p>\n

“The Fake charges made by the highly partisan Unselect Committee of January 6th have already been submitted, prosecuted, and tried in the form of Impeachment Hoax # 2. I WON convincingly. Double Jeopardy anyone!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There’s a surprisingly large amount of bullshittery in that brief statement. Let’s explore it…<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The charges are not “fake.”<\/em> They are very real and histoically profound.<\/li>\n
  2. The Committee was not “highly partisan.”<\/em> There were two conservative Republicans on the panel.<\/li>\n
  3. It was a Select Committee, not as Trump calls it in his infantile manner, the “Unselect Committee.”<\/em><\/li>\n
  4. The charges have never been “submitted, prosecuted, and tried”<\/em> before in any court.<\/li>\n
  5. Trump survived conviction, but he cannot by any stretch of the imagination honestly say that he “WON convincingly.”<\/em><\/li>\n
  6. A congressional impeachment is not the same as a court trial and thus there was no “Double Jeopardy.”<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Poor Donald Trump is struggling desperately to absolve himself of his obvious guilt with a pathetically ignorant comment that totally avoids facts and rational analysis. He wishes the charges were “fake”<\/em> so that he could go on pretending that there is no imminent legal peril in his near future. And no matter how much he tries, he can’t shake the fact that the Congress of the United States has found that there is sufficient evidence to prosecute him for multiple crimes.<\/p>\n

    Consequently, Trump fires up his imagination to create a false recollection of what has taken place since the insurrection that he incited. Contrary to his lies, the House voted to impeach Trump by a 232\u2013197 vote, with all 222 Democrats voting to impeach, joined by ten Republicans. In the Senate Trump survived due to the two-thirds requirement for conviction. The final vote was a majority of 57 guilty to 43 not guilty, including seven Republicans, but short of the two-thirds threshold.<\/p>\n

    Failing to make a coherent legal case for his innocence, Trump took a detour to rely on the devotion of his cult followers, as if that has any relevance under the law. And he repeated another couple of lies that he has been telling for nearly two years, saying<\/a> that…<\/p>\n

    “These folks don\u2019t get it that when they come after me, people who love freedom rally around me. It strengthens me. What doesn\u2019t kill me makes me stronger. Americans know that I pushed for 20,000 troops to prevent violence on Jan 6, and that I went on television and told everyone to go home.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    Not exactly. Setting aside the overt threat in Trump’s comment, the truth is that Americans know that he never pushed for any troops on January 6th<\/a><\/strong> to protect the Capitol – from his own supporters. That doesn’t even make sense unless he expected his cult followers to riot. And he didn’t go on TV for almost three hours after the assault was in progress and many people, including law enforcement, were injured. When he did make a statement, he told the rioters that he loved them.<\/p>\n

    Furthermore, Trump is still showing support for the traitors who stormed Congress, promising to halt their prosecutions or pardon them<\/a><\/strong>, if he returns to the White House.<\/p>\n

    Trump posted several other comments on his website that were equally riddled with flagrant falsehoods and devoid of any substance. He raged about “Radical Left Democrats (Communists),”<\/em> and non-existent election fraud, and “the Massive number of CRIMES committed by JOE & HUNTER BIDEN”<\/em> that reside only in his twisted mind.<\/p>\n

    Trump also posted a video clip of Nazis being sentenced from the film “Nuremberg”<\/em> with Alec Baldwin. But somehow he didn’t get that most Americans will associate Hitler’s henchmen in the clip with him and his cadre of traitors. That’s how oblivious he is to reality in his current state of derangement.<\/p>\n
