For Raskin and his wife and their two other children, this was the start of a nightmare. The previous Thursday, after preparing a breakfast smoothie, he had gone to the room where his 25-year-old son, Tommy, was staying while remotely attending Harvard Law School and had found him dead, a victim of suicide. Raskin, a Democrat who represents Maryland’s Eighth District, was entering his fifth year in Congress, having first been elected on the same night as Donald Trump. Crowd Cheers As Gov.In the history of workweeks that start badly, few can compete with the one Representative Jamie Raskin began on January 6, 2021, his first full morning back in the Capitol since discovering the corpse of his son six days before.Karma Gets Trump As Tornado Watch Kills Iowa Rally.Trump Doesn’t Seem To Know The Difference Between A Tornado Watch And Warning.Maria Bartiromo Melts Down And Gives Away The GOP’s Smear Biden Game.Trump Lumps Moms In With Fascists In Mother’s Day Message Disaster.Biden Announces 13 New Actions To Reduce Gun Violence.Dark Brandon Makes An Appearance On Mother’s Day.James Comer Has Lost His Biden Corruption Informant Like A Set Of Car Keys.Kevin McCarthy Hit A New Level Of Fail As He Falsely Claims Biden Wants Default.Trump says Kaitlan Collins ‘not exactly Barbara Walters, or even close’.Gerry Connolly’s Staff Attacked By Person With A Bat Asking For The Congressman Marjorie Taylor Greene Admits GOP’s Biden Whistleblowers Are In Court, Jail, Or Lost.The Durham Report Is A Giant Disappointing Dud For Trump.Rudy Giuliani Accused Of Selling Presidential Pardons And Splitting The Money With Trump. ![]() Unless there are witnesses or communications that the Special Counsel has in his position, it would appear to be difficult to get a seditious conspiracy conviction against Trump.Ī seditious conspiracy indictment would wreck Trump’s 2024 hopes and it would also make the Republican Party look more like a domestic terror cell than a political party./ Smith also has vast amounts of evidence that he has collected. It is publicly known that Jack Smith is investigating Trump for potential 1/6 crimes. Yet, we have a concurrent majorities of both houses of Congress declaring that that is precisely what he did as a matter of constitutional fact. We did not reach the magic two-thirds number to convict the president. And 57 of the 100 senators agreed that he had incited the men’s direction against the union. And Donald Trump of course, was impeached by 232 vote margin in the House for inciting insurrection against the union. So, you know, we’ve seen a lot of justice take place here, the Department of Justice has been doing an excellent job, more than 1000 arrests, hundreds of convictions have taken place, more than a dozen people have been convicted of seditious conspiracy, completely refuting those who said, well, how could this be an insurrection if nobody was trying to overthrow the government? Well, now, they have their answer, more than a dozen people have been convicted of that We don’t have a system of justice, I hope, as I said at the January six hearings, where the footsoldiers and the ringleaders down below go to jail and the ringleaders above get a free pass and get to continue their insurrectionist assault on democratic institutions. Trump could very much have been part of the proud boys or the oath keepers conspiracy, he might have been involved in an overlapping concentric ring conspiracy with those conspiracies. If you are accused of conspiracy to overthrow the government or put down the government of the United States, which is what seditious conspiracy means, it’s not a defense to say somebody else told me to do it or somebody else was involved in the conspiracy.
