Live Drawing the Final Jan 6th Hearing
History is made
The House January 6th Committee had its final hearing this afternoon, and I drew a few highlights. If you have been following the hearings all along, today was a consolidation of the things that happened, and much of what was said and presented would have been familiar to you. But what the committee did today was lay out why they are recommending criminal referral to the Justice Department. And since it was an offical meeting, they voted on the criminal referral on camera. As the Washington Post puts it, The January 6th Committee Refers Trump to the Justice Department for Prosecution.
Here are the four statutes :
Assisting or aiding an insurrection
Obstruction of an official proceeding
Conspiracy to make false statement
Conspiracy to defraud the US
Great coverage Liza. I like how you picked out what I thought were some of the most “powerful “ quotes from the Committee and the drawings of the members as a group and individually. Their recommendations are powerful and appropriate,in my opinion. We’ll see where it goes from here.
So sad and important to read and see this. Many thanks. (And you might want to add the “r” in “for” Liz Cheney’s final caption.) Well done. Cartoonists are the unacknowledged legislators of the world.
