Donald Trump used the presidency for four years to avoid being charged with crimes, including obstruction of justice in the Mueller investigation.

Fani Willis, the district attorney in Atlanta investigating the case asked a judge today to convene a special grand jury that will have subpoena power that cannot be defied by anyone named Trump or anyone else.

The recording of that phone call made by Georgia secretary of state to protect himself legally is a full and complete indictment of Donald Trump.

Evidence obtained by the committee demonstrates that throughout this period, many supporters of the president were trying to contact the White House to insist that President Trump immediately appear in the media and ask the rioters to…

The single most important, long lasting, and consistent reason to vote for president, the reason that has been there in every election of my lifetime, is judges.

I think there is a credible allegation based in that phone call that the president was seeking to defraud the people of Georgia. That needs to be looked into.

The January 6th committee is building an indictment for history about what could be the single most studied event by historians during the Trump presidency, the January 6th attack on the Capitol.

It would be antithetical to a conservative court to disagree with those two branches of government.

I hope that the Supreme Court will very quickly resolve the litigation regarding the archives, and refuse to take up the case from below.

There are clearly lots of activities that he was a witness to and a participant to that do not implicate attorney-client privilege or where that privilege would be waived.

That`s the kind of thing you see in the developing world. You don`t see it at least until now in the United States of America.

Well, I think as you can see by the series of subpoenas that we`ve issued over time, they`re going to hire and hire people in and around the administration. And Rudy Giuliani was really at the center of things. He was one of the most…

Between mid-November 2020 and January 6, 2021, and thereafter, you actively promoted claims of election fraud on behalf of former President Trump and sought to convince state legislatures to take steps to overturn the election results.

It’s not that surprising, even though he pledged that he would cooperate, that it would testify, because, you know, he has been engaged in trying to cover for President Trump.

McCarthy, by his own admission, was on the phone with the President on January 6, and as Liz Cheney said, trying to get the President to intervene and stop the violence. And yet the President did nothing for such a long time.

I think the Justice Department should be investigating whether this was an act of fraud or attempted fraud, absolutely.

I can`t comment on these particular documents, at least in terms of the committee`s possession. I can`t say that, yes, every line of effort to overturn the election is within the scope of our investigation.

McCarthy is a very weak leader, he really is dependent on the QAnon conference or based within his conference. And he, you know, as he demonstrated, with capitulation to Trump, after the insurrection, will do whatever he thinks will…

We just like him to come in and share with us what he knows. He knows what`s right for the country. He knows what happened in the election. He knows the pressure campaign he was under and he knows he could do a service the country by…

He knows what`s right for the country. He knows what happened at the election. He knows the pressure campaign he was under.

I have to say, I`m not that surprised but, you know, he said he had nothing to hide, and then he decided, well, I guess -- I guess I have a lot to hide.

He would have I think, very undoubtedly relevant testimony for us about that pressure campaign, no one would be in a better position really to speak to it.

What was left unsaid Anderson, though is what about the role of those involved, not just on the 6th, but in the days leading up to the 6th and the aftermath of the 6th who may have broken the law.

That needs to be investigated. And it can’t be waiting for Congress on that.

They ought to be thoroughly investigating any substantial allegation of criminality surrounding the effort to overturn the election.
