.MaddowBlog: The DOJ was already under pressure to investigate Trump and his team. That pressure has now reached a new level of intensity.
When the committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack subpoenaed Steve Bannon, he refused to cooperate. This set in motion a series of events: The House voted to hold the Republican operative in contempt, referring the matter to the Justice Department for possible prosecution.
In December, for example, the House also voted to hold former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows in contempt for also having ignored a congressional subpoena, but prosecutors have not yet charged the Republican.overnight, the bipartisan panel is moving forward with related efforts, hoping the Justice Department will eventually catch up.
Judge David Carter added, “The illegality of the plan was obvious.... Based on the evidence, the Court finds it more likely than not that President Trump corruptly attempted to obstruct the joint session of Congress on January 6, 2021.”yesterday, this was a civil case, not a criminal case, and the underlying dispute was and is over congressional access to a lawyer’s emails. The judge’s ruling was dramatic, but it wasn’t literally a criminal indictment of the former president.
