'Obvious criminality': CNN's Jake Tapper highlights potentially illegal actions Trump took in broad daylight

Raw Story  

On Thursday's edition of CNN's "The Lead," anchor Jake Tapper discussed how the January 6 Committee might get to the bottom of former President Donald Trump's involvement in the attack with committee member Rep. Zoe Lofgren. "We're showing video right now of Eastman speaking at the January 6 'Stop the Steal' rally," said Tapper. Are you hoping to find a money trail that shows Trump okaying some sort of operation in which people start getting bussed in? That would include not only reform to the Electoral Count Act, but potentially the Insurrection Act, which the former president repeatedly throughout the election year threatened to invoke without cause and the like.
