Schiff Confirms Key Step Toward Jan. 6 Criminal Referrals | Eastern North Carolina Now

    The January 6 Committee is taking a significant step toward deciding whether to send criminal referrals to the Justice Department, according to a member of the panel.

    Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) confirmed to CBS News that a subcommittee was set to meet on Sunday as part of that process in the final days before a report is expected to be released to the public later this month.

    "We are as a subcommittee, several of us that were charged with making the recommendation about referrals, [are] going to be making that recommendation to full committee today," Schiff told "Face the Nation" moderator Margaret Brennan. "We will be releasing a report, I think around the 21st, that will include whatever decision we've made on referrals."

    Members of the House select committee have been investigating the Capitol riot of January 6, 2021, and efforts to challenge the results of the 2020 election. former President Donald Trump and his supporters have been heavily critical of the inquiry and the committee's two Republican members, Reps. Liz Cheney (R-WY) and Adam Kinzinger (R-IL).

    Recent reports have indicated that at least four people could be the subject of criminal referrals, including Trump, former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, lawyer John Eastman, former Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark, and Trump's former lawyer Rudy Giuliani.

    Schiff said the process includes examining the evidence as well as the "impact" of making a referral. "I think we're all certainly in agreement that there is evidence of criminality here and we want to make sure that the Justice Department is aware of that," he added.

    Regardless of whether the January 6 Committee makes any referrals, the Justice Department can use the evidence presented in open hearings and in the panel's report "to further their investigations," Schiff stressed.

    "I think it makes an important statement, not a political one, but a statement about the evidence of an attack on the institutions of our democracy and the peaceful transfer of power, that Congress examining an attack on itself is willing to report criminality," he added.

Where do you stand on the wanton censorship by Big Tech Platforms, while retaining their Section 230 carveout indemnifying them for Slander /Defamation lawsuits and Copyright infringements?

  Big Tech Platforms have the right to Censor all speech providing they voluntarily relinquish their Section 230 Carveout.

  Big Tech Platforms DO NOT have the right to Censor any speech, while retaining multiple indemnifications by virtue of the Section 230 Carveout.

  I know nothing of this 230 talk, but "I do love me some social media".

Considering how abjectly corrupt and civilly abusive the Left has become regarding the corrosive effect of their elected leaders; their entrenched and ruling bureaucracy; employing their failed Education Industry as Indoctrinators; their collusive private sector operators, such as the terminally discredited Legacy Media and Big Tech censorship of Free Speech: What will be the best course forward for hardworking Middle Americans, including the Patriot Class?

  Withdraw from society, go underground and plan for a resurgence when it is feasible to do so.

  Work within the confines of better policy by the People's government, once good sense and sanity is restored in the electorate at large, to achieve such.

  Are you a crazy, nut-job Insurrectionist? Everything is perfect within our plan to achieve our intended goals for the Socialist Left.

  Secession to form a true Constitutional Republic.

Since only about 20% of the News Media has any shred of Journalistic Integrity remaining: How does our Constitutional Republic continue without a "Free Press"?

  Demand real information, using real sources, backed up by facts.

  Promote real journalist entities only, and admonish those that prostitute their profession.

  We Democratic Socialists are doing just fine, thank-you, by promoting lies while having very little real knowledge about so much.

In light of continued developments, primarily since 2008, there exists in these United States a Legal System which operates on a proved Two Tiered approach to justice rendered, which primarily benefits Democratic Elites and Woke Ideological Virtue Signalers, representing their co-dependent wards, to the expressed exclusion of normal hardworking American citizens: What is your suggestion in remedying this widespread injustice and, if not corrected, its existential outcome for our Constitutional Republic?

  Complete overhaul of the Department of Justice and their enforcers - the FBI - to reflect a far more honest justice system to keep patriots remaining calm.

  Disband the FBI, and request that congress investigate all unethical and non patriotic practices to partially right the wrongs of a distrusted and politically weaponized "Department of Justice."

  Continue with the current system since the two tiered justice system has been so remarkably beneficial to Democratic Socialist political hegemony; chronic distrust in institutions notwithstanding.
