I’m really glad that Ms. Ruby Freeman and Shaye Freeman Moss have a GoFundMe that is helping them get back on their feet. Far too often, you only see this kind of fundraising when it’s for cops who shot down yet another unarmed Black person. To be sure, this is not a “feel good” story, because it never should have happened to begin with. I hope they sue tf outta Trump, Giuliani, the Proud Boys, Trevian Kitti, Fox News and everyone else who harassed and threatened them.
THE JAN. 6 committee announced on Monday that it will refer former President Donald Trump for criminal charges for his role in the attack on the Capitol as Congress was certifying the 2020 election.
The referral, which was expected, came during the committee’s final meeting before releasing the final report on its investigation into the events of Jan. 6, 2021 and the larger effort to keep Trump in office despite losing handily to Joe Biden. The committee has said it will release the report on Wednesday.
Congress asking the Justice Department to criminally charge a former president is a historic move that speaks to the magnitude of the evidence the committee has gathered against Trump, who they have placed at the center of the scheme to overturn the election. Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) laid out the details of the referrals, noting that the committee is seeking charges be brought against Trump for obstructing an official proceeding; conspiracy to defraud the United States government; knowingly and willingly making a false statement to the federal government; and inciting, assisting, or engaging in insurrection.
