A version became unsealed. but this is what prosecutors have been looking into months ago. that is something else to remember as we get going monday is that we hear what the committee has to say. prosecutors are already very far down this road when it comes to investigating donald trump, his allies, and what was going on in the run up to january 6th. i m joined by our chief political analyst gloria berger, john dean, and senior elliott analyst. gloria, how significant would it be for a former president of the united states to be referred to the justice department for criminal charges? it is historically significant and meaningful because when you take a step back and think about what these criminal referrals are, they are saying, a former president of the united states, while he was in office, was effectively trying to orchestrate a coup, trying to fraudulently change an election, so he could remain in office. it is kind of remarkable. ....
Other charges, obstruction of congress of course, conspiracy to defraud the united states government. the fact is, however, and i think clearly this was referred to, is the justice department does not say, okay. this is what we re going to do. but this criminal referral is to say to the american public, this is what we believe after our voluminous hearings and investigations and we are handing this material over to the department of justice. let the department of justice decide whether or if to charge the former president with any of these charges. so i think the justice department doesn t need to get up to speed. we have seen with hundreds of prosecutions of people storming the capitol they ve already started in that sense. and they are clearly looking at donald trump and a lot of his could be coconspirators. elliott, does the justice department care whether they have a criminal referral? ....
Assuming the committee makes a referral, how does it impact the former president and his alleged presidential campaign? well if he were out campaigning he might be talking about it and claiming he were the victim but since he is not out campaigning very much i don t know how it will affect his campaign. we ve already seen, anderson, in our poll this week, that 6 of 10 republicans, and he is popular with republicans, but 6 of 10 republicans are saying, you know, maybe we ought to think of someone else. this is just one more thing piled on top of lots of other things, the mar-a-lago investigation being one, for example, but i think republicans are starting to kind of look for somebody else. because they re tired of this. elliott, is there a sense for the justice department of a timeline? obviously we don t know the details of where they are at in their investigation. it seems to be ramping up. ....
