I encourage everyone to read it in full. The attack on our nations capitol onjanuary 6, 2021 was an unprecedented assault on the seat of american democracy. Its described in the indictment it was fuelled by lies, lies by the defendant, targeted at obstructing a Bedrock Function of the us government, the nations process of collecting, counting and certifying the results of the president ial election. The men and women of Law Enforcement who defended the us capitol on january 6 are heroes. They are patriots and they are the very best of us. They did notjust defend a building with people sheltering in it, they put their lives on the line to defend who we are as a country and a people. They defended the very institutions and principles that define the United States. Since the attack on our capitol, the Department Ofjustice Has remained committed to ensuring accountability of those criminally responsible for what happened that day. This case is brought consistent with that commitment. And o
here. the reason why only one defendant was charged in this case was in order to try to get it to trial faster than if they had tried or charged other defendants. i think for instance, the co conspirators who may be charged later. it s really hard to see how it s going to shake out in terms of the schedule. what s interesting with a new indictment is if you have a parallel universe going on were trump has created a narrative that he was forced out of office before, illegitimately, and lost the election because of the big steel. and the indictment talks about the big lie, so if you have them going on, the trial going on, parallel to the campaign, it will be an interesting dynamic hearing from him, his voice, one narrative, and from the trial, facts, supported facts, supported by average, evidence
to defend who we are as a country and a people. they defended the very institutions and principles that define the united states. since the attack on our capitol, the department ofjustice has remained committed to ensuring accountability of those criminally responsible for what happened that day. this case is brought consistent with that commitment. and our investigation of other individuals continues. in this case, my office will seek a speedy trial so that our evidence can be tested in court and judged by a jury of citizens. in the meantime, i must emphasise that the indictment is only an allegation and the defendant must be presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law. i would like to thank the members of the federal bureau of investigation who are working on this investigation with my office as well as the many career
that tell a different narrative. it s hard to predict because with every we have never confronted something like this. , ., ., ., this. given that, how do you think the this. given that, how do you think the special this. given that, how do you think the special counsel - think the special counsel prepare for a possible trial? he has really played this by textbook and his team is really highly skilled as a group of prosecutors who keep their nose to the wheel and just really focus on presenting the evidence. it sounds to me like they ve done an awful lot of research, one of investigation, and that they have nailed down everything in indictment, 100 and something paragraphs that information on things that they are completely confident that they can present to a jury. in other words, they can present to a jury. in otherwords, it s they can present to a jury. in other words, it s notjust information on paper. it is information on paper. it is information that can be converted into e
cases. so you make a great point, does this case get put in the queue with a lot of the 6 january cases in the queue with a lot of the 6january cases board as the judge moved up in the queue, given the significance? a criminal case the certificate all the faces involved, each has its own significance, this one has a particular significance and it may well warrant thejudge moving it significance and it may well warrant the judge moving it up in the queue. obviously that will come over the objection of the trump camp to try to slow things down because most defendants try to put things into slow motion. defendants try to put things into slow motion. what you tell us about the into slow motion. what you tell us about the judge into slow motion. what you tell us about the judge assigned - into slow motion. what you tell| us about the judge assigned the case in washington? we know much was made about the judge assigned to the case in florida so what impact could that have on a possible
