'He can't erase it': J6 committee members speak out after final Jack Smith report drops

Raw Story  

WASHINGTON — Some members of the House Select Committee investigating the 2020 election and the Jan. 6 attacks are responding now that the Justice Department has published special counsel Jack Smith's final report. Speaking to Raw Story on Wednesday, Rep. Zoe Lofgren said the committee did "good work" that "pointed out Donald Trump's criminality" around the election. She went on to say "there's nothing to be done with the report" because "we can't prosecute the president" under the Office of Legal Counsel regulation. "It should have come back ages ago," she said of Smith's report, and it's something other members she knows share.
