Liberal Media Fawns Over Partisan Jan. 6 Panel Referring Trump to DOJ for Criminal Charges

WASHINGTON D.C. – The uber-partisan January 6 House Committee released its summary of months of testimony designed to condemn former President Donald Trump with one goal in mind; prevent him from ever running for office again.  

The committee will release its full report on Wednesday but there will be no surprises; the Democrat led panel recommended Trump to the Department of Justice for criminal charges over his role in the January 6 rally in Washington.

The liberal media, led by CNN, excitedly released the summary report Monday basically saying, 'See, we told you Trump was a criminal!'

CNN has been anti-Trump since he announced his candidacy for President.  Below is an excerpt from a highly slanted article published Monday defending the panel as 'bipartisan' because it had two Republican members.  But even CNN had to admit, they were Trump haters all along and there was nothing bipartisan about the panel or its findings:

"But two Republicans volunteered to join the panel: Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming, who was the No. 3 House Republican at the time, and Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, a six-term lawmaker who was a rising star in the party. They both brought GOP staff members along with them who worked for the committee.

To be sure, Cheney and Kinzinger are outliers in their conference because they are anti-Trump. And that is the core of Trump’s critiques of the committee – that it is stacked with Trump haters. Still, even if they oppose Trump, Cheney and Kinzinger are...Republicans. Neither is returning to Congress next year – Kinzinger is retiring and Cheney lost her primary this summer. 

During Monday’s hearing, Kinzinger described how his House GOP colleagues were complicit in Trump’s efforts to overturn the election. He highlighted evidence that Trump wanted top Justice Department officials to “put the facade of legitimacy” on his voter fraud claims so “Republican congressmen … can distort and destroy and create doubt” about the 2020 election results."

The referral is effectively a symbolic measure. It does not require the Justice Department to act.  It is highly unlikely the Democrats will stop attacking Trump before the 2024 election is over.
