Lawyers inside the Washington, DC, attorney general's office are working to determine if it is legally viable to use district statutes to charge former President Donald Trump for his alleged role in the insurrection

Lawyers inside the Washington, DC attorney general's office are working to determine if it is legally viable to use district statutes to charge former President Donald Trump for his alleged role in the insurrection.

The debate is taking place one month after Attorney General Karl Racine first floated the idea of charging Trump. A person familiar with the deliberations inside the attorney general's office pointed to the flurry of details that have emerged since the Capitol attack, noting that it is the attorney general's responsibility to investigate all evidence of illegal incitement of violence.

God i hope so!😂

If all this is not a crime then what is?

Someone has to hold Trump accountable! The Senate Republicans ( save for 7 brave people ) didn't. D.C. should have the right since Trump brought insurrection to Washington.

CNN should be able to get around local judges . So try . 😂

TRAITOR Trump is Guilty He invited them “it will be wild” 6 dead people. Enormous damage. Trump knew it and crossed the line!! NEVER AGAIN WILL I VOTE REPUBLICAN!! Sasse said, Trump enjoyed it. He refused to call for help. He wanted-them hurt & dead! No consequences no change!!

Its guaranteed that if anyone in my family dies as a result of mandated COV shots, whether that be now or in a few years, certain people involved will not live long beyond that moment. My final act will be hunting down people in that system.

Good to know DC has no serious issues

If any other person did this... they would be arrested... ArrestTrumpNow DOJ FBI

A misdemeanor? Don’t bother. Perhaps the Justice Department will take it up. If not, it would be the height of white privilege. I can’t actually imagine ANY other person not being brought up on charges for same actions-hours of video, hundreds of speeches & tweets, subpoena power

Good lord, forget the impeachment and charge him w serious crimes. People died and were seriously injured. He lied and cheated and stole money and aided and comforted our enemies.

DOOOOO EEEEEEEEEEEEETTTT!!!

Hy can drive with Erdogan🇹🇷 to the Moon!

Time to pay for your sins

I have lost interest in Trump is a domestic terrorist.

CatheyOliver15 Charging him with a misdemeanor is bupkus!

Well we ain't gonna get JUSTICE from that joke of a U.S. SENATE.

OH MY GOSH, TRUMP LAWYERS JUST SLAPPED THE TASTE OUT THE DEMS MOUTH AND BIAS MEDIA TODAY. IT WAS BEAUTIFUL. HYPOCRISCY AT ITS FINEST EXPOSED! THAT WOULD MEAN THEY OULD HAVE TO CHARGE THE DEMS AS WELL. ImpeachmentTrial CapitolRiots TrumpImpeachmentTrial TRUMP2024ToSaveAmerica

A blind man knows Trump was the evil that caused the obvious violence.Republicans that refuse to evict Trump, need to resign,because they are just as guilty

meerkatrodeo I want jail stories.

The face of a demented lunatic mm

What do you mean “alleged”?

All the more reason DCStatehood needs to happen. The executive branch can stop DC AG investigations. Biden won't, but a Trumpist president would.

Charge him, bring justice!

I hope so.

Use whatever you have to give creature a hard time.

Hold him accountable God was working overtime on January 6th thank him there wasn't more lives lost so sorry for the Capital Policemen who lost theirs and the 130 who was injured

Well if I incite a riot I'm locked up. Didn't his own attorney Castor or whoever the hell it was say on the first day that he can be arrested as a private citizen? Or did I misunderstand?

He’s guilty and must be charged and convicted for The Insurrection. Do it for all our sakes. We the People require accountability.

Like OJ Simpson, if he gets off, we still know he's guilty.

Why not. They sure aren't going to get it done politically. I honestly don't know what's worse. Four years of worrying if he's going to run, him actually running or him winning or losing again? The ss trump has a wide wake.

Go for it!!!

Trump did incite the attack on congress. It is all there on worldwide media for all to see. No sugar coating can ever change the truth. If Trump gets off it will only be by the lack of ethic and honesty of the 44 Senate Republicans. The world is watching them closely to see if th

If there are no consequences for such a blatant effort to overturn an election, then democracy may as well pack up and leave.

Get him, please 💩

The fact that they don’t know the answer, already, leads me to believe they recognize what a crap case tgat would be. Grasping at straws.

Why didn't Mr Trump immediately try to break up the riot and call in more help and military immediately...that question was not answered in trial as yet. I t would seem that one would be left to assume that he didn't want to. He was the president....

I'm afraid we are watching the death of the Republican party.

Since he might or will be acquitted, then the courts should come in and convict him

Good, if they don't it would suggest this entire impeachment would be unequivocally insincere.

In the phony impeachment trial, the Communist Democrats played doctored videos of the Capitol Peaceful Protest that is no comparison to the violent anarchist riots last year that they helped organize. The Democrats can’t do anything except waste US Taxpayer Money! Impeach Biden!

This is what needs to happen since the corrupt Senate Right will not do the right thing?

How it should've gone...

12:05 AM · 13 февр. 2021 г.· ЧТО ТО ДОЛГО УСТНЫЕ ЗАЯВЛЕНИЯ РАЗБИРАЮТ . НА ЗАПИСИ ПЛОХО СЛЫШНО ?

Class action lawsuit brought by the cops. I love to see everyone who spoke at the rally nailed

Arrest his fat ass !

FUCKING GET OVER IT!

Do it.

Darkness can't rule over light. Don't you get it?

This amazes me . We have all seen this before. No answers and no accountability. After this all said and done nothing changes. A minor defect will be highlighted and then we move on. This is becoming a joke even after videos!!!!

CNN still screaming ....hahhaaaaa...
