Watch: Full Jan. 6 Committee Final Public Meeting (1932 hits)
Voices: The Trump Organization has been found guilty and the January 6 committee believes it has evidence of criminality. What now for Donald? Andrew Buncombe
Yes, said Bennie Thompson, the Democrat who chairs the 6 January committee: There are going to be criminal referrals to the Department of Justice.
And then, on Tuesday afternoon, a stunning development. The Trump Organization was found guilty on criminal tax fraud charges. Jurors rendered a guilty verdict on all of the 17 charges included in an indictment filed last year against the Trump Corporation and the Trump Payroll Corporation, as well as its long-time chief financial officer, Allen Weisselberg. To see such charges levied against a former president’s business just a couple of years since he left office is truly stunning – and completely unprecedented.

What to know about the final public meeting of the Jan. 6 committee:
The committee voted to make criminal referrals to the Justice Department for former President Donald Trump, lawyer John Eastman and unspecified "others." Trump was referred under four criminal statutes: obstructing an official proceeding, making false statements, defrauding the U.S. and inciting an insurrection.
The panel also referred four Republican members of Congress to the House Ethics Committee for ignoring its subpoenas; it did not name the members.
The committee released a 154-page summary of its findings Monday. The full final report is expected to be made public this week. The committee, which was formed in July 2021, spent nearly 18 months investigating the U.S. Capitol attack, which temporarily stopped Congress from certifying the 2020 presidential election results, and the events surrounding it.
1. Obstructing an Official Proceeding. Corruptly obstructing, influencing, or impeding an official proceeding is a felony under U.S. federal law. It was enacted as part of the Sarbanes–Oxley Act of 2002 as a reaction to the Enron scandal, and closed a legal loophole on who could be charged with evidence tampering by defining the new crime very broadly. It later became known for its use as a charge against defendants associated with the 2021 U.S. Capitol attack for attempting to obstruct that year's Electoral College vote count.
2. Making False Statements (18 U.S.C. § 1001) is the common name for the United States federal process crime laid out in Section 1001 of Title 18 of the United States Code, which generally prohibits knowingly and willfully making false or fraudulent statements, or concealing information, in "any matter within the jurisdiction" of the federal government of the United States,[1] even by merely denying guilt when asked by a federal agent.
3. Defrauding The U.S. United States, the Supreme Court of the United States, in an opinion authored by Chief Justice William Howard Taft, held that "To conspire to defraud the United States means primarily to cheat the government out of property or money, but it also means to interfere with or obstruct one of its lawful governmental functions by deceit, craft or trickery, or at least by means that are dishonest."
4. Inciting an Insurrection 18 U.S. Code § 2383 - Rebellion or insurrection 18 U.S. Code § 2383 - Whoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.
Steve, It looks like Trump is in trouble with these four counts against him now. This is just one reason why The Old School Republican are running from Donald J. Trump.
It is all right here in Black In White for you to read.
I think you are extremely petty Ron. You never needed to know anything about Trump's taxes. But I'm glad you've set a new precedent we can turn against you. Same for your false referrals to DOJ. Both these attacks are pure politics. There's no legislative purpose to either. The 117th Congress has been a complete and utter BUST.
Don’t you want to learn the answer to the question and more about Trump. Yes to see how rich he is as he claims. Yes to see if he had any conflicts of interest, like warning to own a hotel. Trump is Russia. What kind of U.S. TOP secrets would he give up to meet his goal?
To learn the Truth about our X President Donald J. Trump would not only benefit me and the whole country Steve. Don't you understand that you have been LIED TO by Trump and to know that is what I call FREEDOM OF SPEECH, it works both ways.
I understand that you have been using the power of the LIE but the truth will overcome that LIE that you and Trump believe in.
The truth of the investigation is right here in front of you, "WATCH IT STEVE."
The sad part about you is Steve, you don't give a damn about being used by TRUMP. I understand. WOW!!!
I don't think or believe no 💩 like that because I too I'm seeking the truth but I see that Trump don't care about you as his protector or anyone else but himself. soon or a later your light will shine bright.
You said: You ILLEGALLY weaponized the mail-in vote. Steve, is the postal service available to all Americans who can pay for the coverage of their package? What law did I break? I will take the challenge.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr.
The election officials in several states, including my state, broke election laws that had been duly enacted by the legislatures, broke them in the name of COVID. As one small example in PA, mail-in ballots were counted up to three days after Election Day. In other states like Georgia and Arizona and again in PA, signature and date requirements on mail-in ballots were relaxed or waived. There are many other examples. Ron, are you denying that COVID was taken advantage of by the Democrats?
NO!!! What I am saying is Republicans also had the right to use mail-in ballots, that were counted up to three days after Election Day as well, Steve.
YOUR QUESTION: Ron, are you denying that COVID was taken advantage of by the Democrats?
MY REPLY: NO, I did not hear any news of Democrats taking any advantage of Republicans on the subject of mail-in ballots. Now, use what the Lord has given you to use. Ask yourself this question Steve: "Were there any restrictions placed on The Republican Voter on using The mail-in ballot system anywhere in America?
"Were there any restrictions placed on The Republican Voter on using The mail-in ballot system anywhere in America?" Yes Ron, of course. We follow the law, that mandates ONE day, Election Day. I've quoted that law to you at least a couple times.
Let me get you right. I asked you to Ask yourself this question Steve: "Were there any restrictions placed on The Republican Voter on using The mail-in ballot system anywhere in America?
The Key Point is: "Were there any restrictions placed on The Republican Voter on using The mail-in ballot system anywhere in America?
YOUR REPLY: Yes Ron, of course. We follow the law, that mandates ONE day, Election Day. I've quoted that law to you at least a couple times.
MY REPLY: Steve Stop your BULL💩, I never did talk about law, that mandates ONE day, Election Day. I asked you this question Steve: "Were there any restrictions placed on The Republican Voter on using The mail-in ballot system anywhere in America?
Prove it with a link to that story because I want to read those restrictions placed on The Republican Voter on using The mail-in ballot system anywhere in America.
Did you actually say some dumb as- BULL💩 that nobody will believe, Did you say: "Mail-in voting is illegal?" Steve, can you show me and the people here on Black In America where in Georgia that "Mail-in voting is illegal?" Can you do that in your next reply?
I asked you to show me, that means can your provide a link to support your claim. Now you go and provide that link to support your claim, can you do that on your next reply?
There is nowhere in that article that supports “Mail-in voting is illegal?" Try again, let’s see if you can find any truth to the claim, what a moron!

Dea. Ron Gray Sr.
Don't be an idiot Ron. Do you agree that Trump did not have the power to delay the election? If no, then it should have been delayed. If yes, then neither can Election Day be moved earlier, which is exactly what mail-in voting does.
Are you going to show me and the people here on Black In America what in Georgia Law that supports “Mail-in voting is illegal? This is the LIE you want the reader to believe. I'm standing by for your reply.
I know damn well that you Steve was lying about “Mail-in voting being illegal." You tried to BULL💩 me and the people here on Black In America. Steve, don't you understand that your White Supremacy ways of thinking, make you look like a idiot, like a halfwit, like a blockhead and a buffoon.
This fear that you are trying to generate when a LIER like yourself will make a claim that voting by mail is Illegal, you need to be ashamed of yourself for LYING like that. You poor little man you.
With Universal Mail-In Voting (not Absentee Voting, which is good), 2020 will be the most INACCURATE & FRAUDULENT Election in history. It will be a great embarrassment to the USA. Delay the Election until people can properly, securely and safely vote???
As Law&Crime has thoroughly explained before under slightly different contexts, the date of the U.S. presidential election is codified in federal statutes. 3 U.S.C. § 1 sets the date as follows: “The electors of President and Vice President shall be appointed, in each State, on the Tuesday next after the first Monday in November, in every fourth year succeeding every election of a President and Vice President.” Similarly, 2 U.S.C. § 7 sets the date for the election of U.S. senators and representatives on the same day. In other words, the date cannot be changed without Congress changing the laws which set the date.
Steve, as you look back in time, where is this predicted fraudulent election that you predicted Steve by mail in voting is? You have seen or heard nothing about a a fraudulent election like that loser said Trump?
“NO YOU HAVE NOT STEVE” because you have been LIED to by TRUMP again.
I didn't need Trump to see what happened in Pennsylvania Ron. But as usual, Trump was ahead of the curve. He saw clearly what you were going to pull off, how you were going to corrupt our traditions.
That is right, Donald J. Trump did hand-pick your boy Dr. Oz to lose in the race in Pennsylvania, and just like clockwork, Dr. Oz lost his bid. I remember NOW...
With Universal Mail-In Voting (not Absentee Voting, which is good), 2020 will be the most INACCURATE & FRAUDULENT Election in history. It will be a great embarrassment to the USA. Delay the Election until people can properly, securely and safely vote???

As you can see NOW, there was NO evidence of mail in ballots problems, everything went as Smooth as clockwork and the transfer of power took place without a hitch.
You just want to stop easy access to voting in this country Steve because you already know, if there is a larger turn out, Republicans will LOSE and that is a fact, that is the reason way you don't want to keep mail-in voting ALIVE.
I am here to tell you that mail-in voting is ALIVE and will continue.
What states are those Steve? Because this is what I have: VOTING BY MAIL/ ABSENTEE VOTING
More voters are using mail ballots across the country and the COVID-19 pandemic has increased the need to explore options to increase vote by mail opportunities. Voting by Mail/Absentee Voting is also essential part of the elections process for citizens away from home, such as our military and overseas voters. The Election Assistance Commission (EAC), the Federal Voting Assistance Program (FVAP) and the United States Postal Service (USPS) continue to work together to ensure the entire voting by mail/absentee voting process works smoothly and efficiently.
This Program is nation wide.
YOUR WORDS: Not in all states Ron.
MY REQUEST: Steve, where are those states? Can you send me a link to all of those states who don't participate in this mail-in voting process?
According to research compiled by the National Vote at Home Institute, 16 states limit the distribution of absentee ballots—which can be mailed or otherwise delivered to the voter's home—to residents who present a lawful excuse for avoiding in-person voting, such as planned travel or a disability.
This is what I found: According to research compiled by the National Vote at Home Institute, 16 states limit the distribution of absentee ballots—which can be mailed or otherwise delivered to the voter's home—to residents who present a lawful excuse for avoiding in-person voting, such as planned travel or a disability.
Of those states, five—West Virginia, Alabama, Indiana, Delaware and Massachusetts—have already waived these limitations for voters in upcoming primary and statewide elections because of public health concerns over the virus' spread.
Steve, Still, we continue to have thousands of new COVID-19 infections and hundreds of related deaths in this country each day. So, is it truly over? NO!
Let us get back to the topic at hand which is a very important topic of this day. A lot of truth here was uncovered about Former President Donald J. Trump. Steve, did you review this blog post story?
How do we stop it from happening again? Today we will show you our recommendations for you, the people of The United States to see the evidence of the Jan 6 committee report.
I watched the Full Jan. 6 Committee Final Public Meeting Ron, on TV. Future generations will learn that it was all a farce. A slick hollywood production with no exculpatory evidence presented at all. I.E. it was entirely one-sided. Already it is null and void.
So you DID NOT review this blog post report at all, now did you? That is what I asked you, Steve. So NO you have not seen or reviewed the material of this blog post because if you had watched this blog material, I was going to show you the evidence you said The Jan 6th Committee has that you said that they don't have.
Are you carrying Trump's water for free because you are beginning to sound like that loser TRUMP.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr.
If your video is what it says it is, the "Full Jan. 6 Committee Final Public Meeting," then I have seen it Ron.
Then what happened to them?
Sunday, January 8th 2023 at 2:22PM
Dea. Ron Gray Sr.
Those reasons still exist Ron, in the minds of every one of us who cast a vote for Trump and against Biden. We were the ones who were disenfranchised. It was not only Trump that lost, we did too, and you owe us a true explanation, one that we can trust. What say you?
