During Monday’s hearing of the House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, Rep. Jamie Raskin said, “Ours is not a system of justice where foot soldiers go to jail and the masterminds and ringleaders get a free pass.”
For now, that’s more of a wish than a reality.
Hopefully, the Department of Justice will follow through on the committee’s recommendation to prosecute former President Donald Trump for “influencing or impeding a an official proceeding of the US government”, “conspiring to defraud the US”, “unlawfully, knowingly or willingly making false statements to the federal government” and “assisting or engaging in insurrection against the United States.”
Justice must prosecute Arizona ‘foot soldiers’
