Jan. 6 Committee Says It Has Enough Evidence to Indict Trump

-

Members of the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol say they have enough evidence to indict former President .

“I would like to see the investigate any credible allegation of criminal activity on the part of Donald Trump,” said committee member Rep. (D-Calif.).

The Hill has more on Schiff's remarks:

“The evidence is very powerful that Donald Trump … began telling this big lie even before the elections, that he was saying that any ballots counted after Election Day were going to be inherently suspect,” Schiff told moderator Martha Raddatz on ABC's “This Week.”

Since its first public hearing last week, the committee has argued that Trump fueled the anger that day that resulted in violence, threats to lawmakers, the injury of dozens of police officers and the death of Ashli Babbitt.

Schiff also said that there is enough evidence that links Trump with white nationalist groups before the riot, adding that the connection will be a clear focus of their investigation.

“Let me ask you, is there an actual conversation between people in Trump's orbit and Proud Boys, Oathkeepers?” Raddatz asked Schiff. 

“Well, you know, as I think the committee already disclosed and has been publicly reported, of course, there are connections between these white nationalist groups and some in Trump's orbit,” Schiff exclaimed, although he added that he wouldn't get into specifics until the hearings got to that point.

Committee members were tight-lipped on other Sunday news shows about what viewers can expect at this week's hearings. However, Rep. (D-Md.) agreed with Schiff that there is “overwhelming” evidence Trump participated in a “criminal conspiracy.”

The announcements have prompted speculation that the is paving the way for U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland to indict Trump on criminal conspiracy charges.

Others were decidedly more skeptical.

The first hearing claimed that multiple congressmen asked for pardons following the Capitol riot, but only named one, Rep. (R-Pa.).

Members of the committee, including Rep. (R-Ill.) said they believed the request for pardons showed Perry and others knew they had done something illegal.

Perry has vigorously denied ever asking Trump for a pardon.

Three days of hearings have been scheduled for the coming week, on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday.

CNBC adds:

Monday's hearing is slated to begin at 10 a.m. ET. The committee is expected to focus on Trump's misinformation campaign and the lack of evidence supporting allegations of election fraud.

So, what do you think following these latest announcements from the U.S. House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the Capitol? And do you think there's a chance President Trump will be indicted? As always, share your thoughts with us in the comments below!

  1. This is the same Adam Schiff who claimed to have spoken to “the whistleblower”. That was just one of the lies he has been spewing. When Californians awaken from their insanity, and replace this liar, I hope he stands trial for lying to Congress!

    • With this Administration full of bureaucratic clowns in a state of total chaos and they now clearly see the shellacking they will take in November, they are capable of manufacturing evidence and getting Garland to to indict Trump on criminal conspiracy charges for a SHOW TRIAL. Everything they do is for show since they are not capable of anything with substance!

    • I remember watching this film before. I didn’t like it then, I don’t like it now. He needs punshment, STAT!

    • Trump will not be indicted it will be Pelosi who gets indicted Trump has proof that Pelosi and McConnnel didn’t want the National guard. Trump has evidence that the Sargent in Arms was pleading with Pelosi because they knew it was going to be violent

    • Exactly! When will people in the media stop paying attention to this pencil-necked, lying traitor? He wouldn’t recognize the truth if hit him right in his Pelosi-kisser.

    • The Adam Schiff who intentionally lied about Russia Collusion, claiming he had “evidence” of collusion? The Adam Schiff who shielded the identity of Trump’s accuser during the Ukraine phone call? The same Adam Schiff who ignored the exculpatory testimonies during the same impeachment debacle? Donald Trump has been investigated for five straight years…yet, they have found NOTHING. They claim Trump’s claims are a “Big Lie” but they never gave Trump a day in court. When he complained about election irregularities BEFORE the election they claimed he had “no standing.” When he complained about election irregularities AFTER the election they claimed the “laches doctrine” (he was too late). It was a politically motivated legal “shell game,” and they never went to discovery…despite the fact that several states violated their own Constitutional Laws with some of the election rules changes. Perhaps we should ask Dinesh D’Souza if there is any evidence of voter irregularities. This January 6th Commission is just another Democrat Party Witch Hunt. If only one side gets to tell the story…you are only getting half the story…and with all of their lies, you aren’t even getting half.

    • I agree. We need to take back the House in November and get people like Schiff out of there. We need to get rid of the whole group of them.

  2. You lost me at “Rep. Adam Schiff”.

    Am I to believe this committee is in possession of irrefutable evidence that Trump committed a crime AND sat on it for their ‘Made For TV’ show trial?

    Schiff has said the same lies thru two failed impeachment trials, but we’re to believe him this time?

    • I’ve had exactly the same reaction and thoughts…why is this “made-for-tv show” if they have “irrefutable evidence to indict”? Why haven’t they presented this “evidence” to the DOJ for indictment? Of course, these are rhetorical questions and any intelligent person knows and recognizes why they are doing what they are doing… to continue their pandering to an uninformed and ignorant voter base…

  3. We all know that this is a fraudulent travesty cooked up by the biggest bunch of scoundrels in modern American history.

    If the GOP wins Congress 5 months from now, which is very likely, this garbage will go right out the window.

  4. THESE FILTHY LYING CHEATING PERVERTS MUST BE TAKEN OUT IMMEDIATELY IF NOT SOONER
    THEY ARE NOT FIT TO BREATHE OUR AIR

    • Agreed! Talk about beating a dead horse. They should be tarred, feathered and run out of town. Take their pensions and medical first. These pigs know they are bacon are grasping at straws and will try anything on our dime to save their sorry ashes.

  5. Yea, the same piece of Schiff that sat on national TV and claimed he had irrefutable evidence of Trumps Russia collusion (which he somehow never provided). The same piece of Schiff who was caught tampering with evidence and presenting that false evidence to the Jan 6th committee (which is a felony). How is it that this piece of Schiff hasn’t been arrested and relocated to a convenient prison?
    I agree with Ken. You lost me at Schiff. He has less than zero credibility.

    • I agree with you. They are all criminals. And have commented more fraud than President Trump EVER thought about doing.

  6. DON’T MESS WITH THE USA’S HIGH PLACE!

    Washington D.C.’s Capitol is the biblically egregious Constitutional Republic’s High Place (and her Congressmen and women her high priests and priestesses) that must not be defiled!

    The uproar from her priests and priestesses is essentially no different than the uproar from the idolaters in Acts 19 enraged at the Apostle Paul and his companions for defiling the Temple of Diana, who, in turn, cried out for two solid hours “Great is Diana of the Ephesians!”

    Americans, ironically led by alleged Christians, have been crying out for over 230 YEARS :”Great is Constitution of the Americans!”

    That’s right, we’re talking about idolatry!

    Idolatry is not so much about statues as it is statutes, such as what one considers the supreme law of the land. There can only be on supreme law: 1) The Constitution, per Article 6, or 2) Yahweh’s moral law, per the Bible.

    To attempt to futilely meld the two is to be as double-minded as were the Israelites on Mt. Carmel with Elijah: Why halt ye between two opinions? If We the People (a contemporary form of Baal) be God, serve them. If Yahweh be God, serve Him!

    For more, see Chapter 3 “The Preamble: We the People vs. Yahweh” of free online book “Bible Law vs, the United States Constitution: The Christian Perspective” at https://www.bibleversusconstitution.org/BlvcOnline/biblelaw-constitutionalism-pt3.html

  7. As long as the democrats in congress and all those who do not have respect for truth i in turn have no respect for them. The seed of hate was planted 2015 for Pres. Trump and all Americans who voted for him and worked for him and with him. This hate blossomed into a very large putrid smelling flower that continues to blossom and linger into our congress, our country and our world. This flower is the complete reflection of what is transpiring day in and day out on We The People and all our institutions. The democrats are mired in their own loving hate and gladly and willingly wallow in it for the sake of being in power and destroying our constitutional republic. They know what the truth is and gladly and willingly continue to deny it and this will be their catharsis when…Eventually the flower will die with all of you and your hate filled intentions! THIS TOO WILL PASS!!!

  8. The so-called committee should be put before a tribunal for treason promptly and punishment meated immediately following .

  9. I’ll be doing the same thing on Monday that I did on Thursday – watch something else

  10. Why would anyone want to watch piglosi’s circus? Talk about a kangaroo court, this is one! Buggy eyed schiff is a blatant liar, but he is married into the Soros clan, so he is covered. Vote that toad out of office, along with the rest of the demonrats!

  11. All they are doing is building their own narrative to cover up their own dirt. Trump WON!! But this committee is proving that they are the liars and they cheated and they want to reframe their story. I listened last week. I caught those lies because I was paying attention on Jan. 6. I won’t listen to the liars again…Waste of time…

    • This group has spoken ad nauseam about Trump and his “big lie.” The BIG LIE was that Demented Joe stole the election and the rotten, lying treasonous Democraps have been lying about it since November of 2020. There is overwhelming evidence of voter fraud and tampering in every state that has had the balls to do a real and honest investigation. No doubt about it: Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are illegitimate executives, as are all of the idiots and traitors that are now serving as his cabinet members. The penalty for treason was once public execution. That is a reality that the members of the January 6 2021 Clown Show should remember. Adam, Nancy, Liz, and Adam – along with many others – should be nervous, very nervous. They lied and are selling out our country.

  12. Now this is crazy. You have a bunch of Democrats that started the Jan 6th incident, now saying that Trump started it. Schiff is a liar to start with and they need to look at Pelosi, Biden, Obama, Clinton and the Democrats in the Congress. They had arranged it with the DC Police to lead the people into the Capitol and let them break windows and had said that they did not want the National Guard there, that they would not need them. This incident was premediated by the Democrats.

  13. Good! Then Pelosi will have to turn over all her emails, ph calls. She will have to explain WHY she didn’t bring additional forces to secure the capitol. The republicans will then be given a defense opportunity, which they were never given during this 3-ring circus to show all the BS the democrats cut, and made to look “bad.” The truth always comes out and the democrats always make themselves look bad. So I say–let them. It will give the rest of the US an opportunity to really see what happened and make the democrats answer hard questions as to why they don’t want the rest of us to know.

  14. Just give it up, Democrats!
    President Trump will be elected
    our “47th” President in 2024 !!?

  15. That is a bunch of B.S.!!! Trump did NOT break any laws, he did NOT incite insurrection or rebellion, or any kind of violence. This was ALL orchestrated by Pelosi and Co and I hope she hangs (actually GITMO is changing their execution method). She and Schiff and Schumer and McConnell, and all of the other sell-out RINOS as well as the lying Deep State Cabal members! This is the only way they have to go, lies, fake phoneyand false accusations. They set up those demos with black hats and refused safety procedures. Trump told the people to go home peacefully. This is all their lying to try to hold Trump back, indict him, etc. These are disgusting excuses for human beings!

  16. This Hollywood production being edited text messages being tampered to suit there kangaroo sham court room is being run by hhateful snobs. They put TRUMP on Trial when the real fraud in this BS Pelosi,
    Bowsr, they both refused to bring 20000, even 10000 to
    bring in the guard to prorect the Whitehouse, why did they deny Trump’s request. On January 6th he said to go to WH. Let your voices be heard. There was FBI agents seen telling the crowd there to enter the WH. Steal those ballot results before congress entered the results. There more to this they knew there was Antefa, BLM AND gangs who planned this days before these people had vehicles all over Washington. Why the Agents urging to attack enter now take out cops many not arrested where are they now.many questions have not been answered you have to think was this plan was Nancy did she have more to do
    or did demo-rats help fix this attack were they involved. We know rats hire people to call senators anybody to get a bill passed they will use harassment will lie about you to media. How much did Nancy know prior. We will never know when a bunch of haters go after someone in Congress they will even follow you to the restroom. Shifty shift we know he’s a liar,
    ClicKbum
    he’s a big racist liar, Cheney omg she’s Has to Go. We need to vote this entire dems. group out In November
    Imo

  17. This whole thing is pure BS….. I\we just happened to watching CSPAN when this whole thing went down Jan. 6. It is clear that Capital Police were clearing the way and waving the crowd in. Looks like a set up to me. Made to orchestrate yet another witch hunt. This entire investigation should be summarily shut down ASAP. I would not be opposed to having another “true” investigation with participants that are honest, without bias. Maybe then we can find out the real truth; which would likely be that the very people that are trying to bring charges themselves should be charged for putting this staged event together. Shame on whomever believes these clowns.

  18. Well if they actually have all that evidence, what are they waiting for? Tee it up, boys and girls. Don’t just talk about your game. Let’s see it.

  19. Typical of demonRATs to say there’s evidence now when there wasn’t in TWO impeachment trials.

  20. There is enough proof that the Jan. 6th Committee is blatant lies by pelosi, shiff, cheney, kitzinger and others. They are committing sedition, treason and blasphemy with their constant witch hunts. People are tired of these bottom of the swamp dwellers continuing to try and remove Trump from any political offices he may run for. This country is in dire straits because of democrats failures to uphold their oaths of office and to meet their obligations of doing what the majority of citizens want and need. Which concerns gas prices, food costs, supplies, and safety at the boarders.

  21. The very presence of liar Adam Schiff in this committee hearing makes this whole affair a total sham. The Dems have nothing to run on but anti-Trump. So lame. And the Country goes down with Dem’s ship.

  22. The Democrats, those dirty rats
    Held ‘court’ to get the Trump
    But their slanderous jeers fell on deaf ears
    And the Dems but showed their Rumps.

  23. Since when does a whole bunch of innuendo and lies count as irrefutable evidence?

    They keep talking about Trump’s ties to white nationalist groups, but how many people have actually seen one? It seems like white nationalists are bogeymen invented by Obama and used by the left to frighten their followers.

    Adam Schiff and I went to high school together, same class. He wasn’t like this back then. Did politics corrupt him so badly? He’s an embarrassment to our school!

  24. Let’s hope the ink has a chance to dry on this “evidence” before they submit it to a court

  25. These are the same people who spent five years telling us there was irrefutable evidence Donald Trump colluded with Valdimir Putin. They all suffer from acute Trump derangement syndrome, and none of them can be trusted to give a nonbiased view of Donald Trump.

  26. This is yet another blatant attempt tp deflect their guilt upon another, and who is their favorite target, Donald Trump. Projection and deflection are their tools and they are master users of both. Delusion has become their reality and they now lack the ability to discern truth from myth, lies and deception because of that. The Far Left, the Socialist Democrats, the Marxist teacher’s unions, the biased, Far Left leaning news media, the LGBTQ-R controlled entertainment industry, the WOKE professional sports franchises, the believers in BLM being a legitimate organization have all been outed and even those that are slow witted are beginning to realize the narrative and the mission of each. Wow, what a long time coming. More and more of those that believed with a pure heart and participated with whichever are beginning to see the light, however, that number has to grow.
    The January 6th whatever committee is a projection and confession of their involvement, not the accused. The FBI, the Capitol Police and Pelosi are the guilty, some of which is slowly reaching the surface, however, will probably never be completely revealed without the proverbial whistleblowers.
    Anyone who swallows any of the tainted rhetoric coming out of the mouths of these miscreants probably also watches the nightly news on NBC, CBS, CNN and the rest of the biased, so-called news media. I, for one, have not and will not watch or listen. Defamation of Donald Trump has gone on for far too long!

  27. This January 6th witch hunt is only being done to try and get Trump in some way or form eliminated from running again for the President of the United States is because he was the only President who did what he said he was going to do when he was campaigning 2017. These Socialist Democrats are scared that he will run again and put a stop to their Socialist agenda. The United States citizens need to vote these Rino’s and corrupt Democrats out of office to save our nation.

  28. I believe with all my heart that President Trump has been accused of everything that the Democratic party is guilty of! Pelosi and all her cohorts are continually accusing Trump of what they are all in the process of doing or about to do!

  29. If the J6 committee can convince jurors with lies, they will get their indictment. The outcome will be the same as the two impeachments and the Democrats will go up in flames. again. The problem is that the Democrats just can’t play by the rules and obey the Laws. They have to lie, cheat and steal every time there’s a issue that they want to investigate to gain more power. I’m sick of the lies and I’d like to see the Democrats being held responsible to wasting our tax dollars on their personal witch hunts.

  30. Blah, blah, blah. I’m still waiting for Adam Schiffforbrains to pony up his “irrefutable” evidence of Russian collusion. But I’m not holding my breath. He’s the Progressive Socialist screwdriver; the tool used for everything around the house from can opener to hammer.

    It appears there is no cure for TDS; he still owns dimocrats.

    Let’s go, Brandon! Remember in November.

  31. Why don’t you concentrate on the evidence you have to indict Joe Biden and his son Biden. What a waste this has been of taxpayer’s money. Find some way to do something about the cost of inflation – cost of bas and groceries? That’s what the citizens are concerned about.

    • Why don’t you concentrate on the evidence you have to indict Joe Biden and his son Hunter. What a waste this has been of taxpayer’s money. Find some way to do something about the cost of inflation – cost of gas and groceries? That’s what the citizens are concerned about.

  32. Adam Schiff Also Said That He Had Clear Evidence Of Donald
    Trump’s Russian Collision . And There Was Absolutely No’ Clear Evidence Presented From Adam Schiff To This Day.

  33. Why’ Wasn’t There Any Commission Investigations From The House And Or Congress For The False Narritive’s And Lie’s That Adam Schiff Presented In Washington DC Concerning President Donald John Trump And His 2016 Administration ?

  34. BS !!!! If these dirtbag idiots had enough evidence they would be pi**ing all over themselves getting to the court house. That POS schiff has not told 1 iota of truth since 2016 — he along with his darling of the witch world pig-losi are habitual liars with no cure in sight. As far as the treasonous cheney and zinsinger go — they would say anything if it would help their disasterous careers.

  35. The Democrats are hell bent on making something, ANYTHING stick to Trump. They are scared to death that he’ll win in 2024, so they’ll stop at NOTHING to try and stop him.
