'They Just Threw the Book at Donald Trump': Ari Melber Says J-6 Committee "A Felon, An Insurrectist"
MSNBC host Ari Melber called the January 6 congressional committee’s criminal referrals for Donald Trump the “highest, most aggressive possible case” they could have laid out.
Committee members announced at their final hearing that they are recommending the Department of Justice charge the former president inciting an insurrection, conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to make a false statement, and obstruction of an official proceeding.
The committee showed a collection of findings from their investigation and even made new accusations, including that Trump and his associates allegedly offered employment to some witnesses being relied on in the Capitol riot investigation.
“This is a huge deal. They just threw the book at Donald Trump,” Melber declared on MSNBC shortly after the referrals were announced.
Melber said the committee sent a clear message to Trump, labeling him “felon, an insurrectionist, [and] someone who wanted to riot but just physically couldn’t get there. The committee is basically saying, ‘we got you. we have the receipts, we have the video, this all was planned,” he added.

If that's sarcasm, I beg to differ my friend.
