Federal Action:Ask Garland to Hold Trump Accountable  All January 6 conspirators need to be held accountable including the former president. Background Garland’s caution may have put the Justice Department in a quandary “By starting at the bottom of the chain, the Justice Department failed to look for evidence in Trump’s inner circle regarding his connection to the violent phase of the insurrection.” Action: Contact Attorney General Merrick Garland.
Script: I demand accountability for former president Trump and his close circle of accomplices, including current members of congress regardless of the election calendar. All the January 6 conspirators need to be held accountable. The evidence of their guilt is overwhelming and if they escape punishment, more treason and violence will come to America.
