Congressman Jamie Raskin spoke on MSNBC about his belief that former President Donald Trump conspired to defraud the American people out of an honest election, specifically by attempting to overturn the election results. Raskin lays out a comprehensive case against Trump, emphasizing the Constitutional violations involved in the attempted insurrection.

Jamie Raskin details the recommendations made by the House’s January 6th select committee, including four counts against Trump: obstructing an official proceeding, conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to make a false statement, and assisting in an insurrection. Special counsel chose not to charge Trump with inciting or assisting in the insurrection or false statements but did charge him with the other recommendations.

Raskin, a constitutional law professor, argues against Trump’s defense that a technical violation of the Constitution isn’t criminal. He stresses that any violation of the Constitution is an offense and highlights the criminal apparatus in place to enforce Constitutional principles, particularly relating to insurrection.

Highlighted is the contradiction in the defense arguments that Trump can’t be charged through impeachment as he has left office and that he can’t be charged criminally because he was once the President. Raskin emphasizes that the rule of law should apply equally to everyone, including the President, refuting the notion that Trump should be immune from prosecution.

The video represents a comprehensive and detailed analysis, coming from a progressive standpoint, concerning the actions of Donald Trump surrounding the events of January 6th and the legal proceedings that followed. It brings together legal, constitutional, and political perspectives to debunk the spin from Trump’s lawyers and present a strong case against him.
