Kinsinger: If Trump is not prosecuted 'then I frankly fear for the future of this country'

[Norbert]

Outgoing GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger has called on the Justice Department to prosecute former President Donald Trump, saying that if his role in the January 6 Capitol riot is not considered criminal, then "I don't know what is."

Kinzinger, who announced in late 2021 that he would not seek re-election in his Illinois district in the 2022 midterms, citing extremism and tribalism in the US political system, is one of two Republicans who sat on the House Select Committee to investigate the Capitol riot.

The committee wrapped up its findings in December, with a bombshell recommendation to prosecute the former president.

In a farewell interview with CNN, broadcast on Sunday, Kinzinger said he believed that the Department of Justice would follow through on the committee's recommendations to charge Trump on four separate counts: conspiracy to defraud the US, conspiracy to make false statements, obstruction of an official proceeding, and inciting an insurrection.

1. Wow, I just cut and was about to paste the same post.

Stop and think about this scenario, not prosecuting Trump, through the eyes of our foreign allies.

The United States will have fallen is stature with the rest of the civilized world.

It is way past time to hold the traitors accountable.

2. My eyes were deceiving me.

When I read the title, my first thought was, "Kissinger said what???"

3. It saw it the same way.

The title needs to correct the spelling of Kinzinger.
