"The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol will hold its last public meeting on Monday afternoon..."

"The panel is... expected to vote on referring Mr. Trump to the Justice Department on charges of insurrection, obstruction of an official proceeding of Congress and conspiracy to defraud the United States.... Referrals against Mr. Trump would not carry any legal weight or compel the Justice Department to take any action, but they would send a powerful signal.... In a statement, Steven Cheung, a spokesman for Mr. Trump, dismissed the committee’s planned actions on Monday as those of a 'kangaroo court' that held 'show trials by Never Trump partisans who are a stain on this country’s history.'...

The NYT reports.

'I think the president has violated multiple criminal laws,' Representative Adam B. Schiff, Democrat of California and a member of the committee, said on CNN’s 'State of the Union' on Sunday. 'And I think you have to be treated like any other American who breaks the law, and that is, you have to be prosecuted.... In terms of the criminal statute, if you can prove that someone incited an insurrection — that is, they incited violence against the government, or they gave aid and comfort to those who did — that violates that law.... And if you look at Donald Trump’s acts, and you match them up against the statute, it’s a pretty good match. I realize that statute hasn’t been used in a long time. But, then, when have we had a president essentially incite an attack on his own government?'"

Schiff thinks that "any other American" would be prosecuted for making statements with the level of incitement to violence found in Trump's January 6th speech? If that were not so plainly ludicrous it would be scary as hell. 

Schiff's words betray his awareness that he is lying. He trips all over himself:

... if you can prove that someone incited an insurrection — that is, they incited violence against the government, or they gave aid and comfort to those who did...

Who did what?

And if you look at Donald Trump’s acts, and you match them up against the statute, it’s a pretty good match.

A pretty good match? That's the standard that's used against "any other American"?

I realize that statute hasn’t been used in a long time.

So then you're not talking about the way we treat "any other American"?

But, then, when have we had a president essentially incite an attack on his own government?

He retreats to a rhetorical question, but he's obviously admitting that he's not talking about how we treat "any other American." And — this is not a rhetorical question — when did Trump "incite an attack on his own government"? Schiff has to waffle with "essentially." Trump did something else but it's pretty much the same thing — a pretty good match. 

Could the NYT find someone more convincing than Adam Schiff to justify referring Trump to the Justice Department on charges of insurrection?

Thus articles "The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol will hold its last public meeting on Monday afternoon..."
