Sam Smith - The otherwise excellent report of the January 6th investigation committee omitted one key issue: what crimes is Donald Trump guilty of? If all the facts presented were to be approved in court, Trump would have committed an attempted coup and could be guilty of sedition, which has prison penalties of up to 20 years.
While the verbal caution of the committee is understandable, the public should realize that what happened January 6 was an attempted criminal coup against the United States, and the closest to success of such an effort in American history. Even the Confederacy didn't come as close as Trump to overthrowing the government. We are not talking just politics, but an unprecedented political crime.
