Rep. Raskin said erstwhile MSNBC’s Ali Velshi asked if transgression referrals volition beryllium for transgression enactment oregon not showing up to testify:

It could beryllium both. When we travel to radical that person committed crimes connected January 6th, we volition crook that over, but at the aforesaid time, the president has signaled our determination to get each of the accusation we’re asking for. It’s not discretionary oregon optional. It’s the government’s subpoenas or documents from you, you have to attest unless you will assert a Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination, and we don’t think that that exists. 

If idiosyncratic similar President Trump would privation to travel forward hypothetically oregon idiosyncratic else and accidental I’m exercising my privilege against self-incrimination and that sets off a full different process where they could beryllium fixed use immunity. In different words, we volition immunize you from the usage of immoderate accusation you springiness us, but you bash still have to testify. So that’s possible, too. The constituent is we’re not going to play these games during the Trump medication erstwhile they tweeted a subpoena similar it’s optional, and that’s not what it is.

This is deadly superior stuff. We’re asking for the information, and we beryllium a broad report to the American people about what took spot and what changes we request to marque through the full strategy of government and information successful bid to protect democracy against right-wing, violent extremist attacks and political manipulation and clues. 

Trump And His Band Of Insurrectionists Can’t Hide From The 1/6 Committee.

The connection from Rep. Raskin is that the 1/6 Committee has the White House down them, and they aren’t messing around. Trump and his co-conspirators tin nary longer fell down the powerfulness of the presidency, and if they garbage to testify, they volition beryllium deed with transgression charges, fines, oregon both.

Trump volition decidedly effort to assertion enforcement privilege oregon sue, but determination is simply a content that he doesn’t person enforcement privilege and that immoderate suit is apt to fail.

The 1/6 Committee is coming to get the full communicative of the Capitol attack, and that communicative has the imaginable to beryllium damning for Trump and House and Senate Republicans.
