Conspiracy to Insurrection

 Oh say can you see, in the 2021 light

What we so proudly maintained 

after a riotous fight.

That broad dome and wide steps

through the perilous fight

O’er the barricades we watched

were so gallantly retained!

As our Congress did dare, with teargas in the air,

giving proof through the fight

that our Congress was still there;

O say does that Capitol Congress  remain

with our Presidency,

o’er the land of the free,  Democracy!

Thank God! 

In God we have trusted.

And so far, that assurance has worked out. In spite of a violent attack on our Capitol and Congress.

Our democratic republic survives for 246 years, still going strong.  

Now our US House of Representatives has gathered, made public, and delivered to our US Attorney General . . . evidence for our Department of Justice to prosecute the Jan6 conspirators for four specific crimes.

The charges are based on our Rule of Law, as set forth in Section 18 of US Code:

~ Obstruction of an official proceeding of our US government

~ Defrauding the United States

~ Making false statements

~ Insurrection against our United States government

Now it is up to Attorney General Garland and the special prosecutor that he appointed, Jack Smith, to prosecute those conspirators who attempted to obstruct defraud, to lie  and to overthrow.

The special Jan6 House Committee, having gathered thousands of documents and hundreds of testimonies, concluded its work yesterday with a report to Congress  and to the US Dep’t of Justice, and also to us, the People.

Their evidence, presently being delivered to Attorney General Garland, is a large collection of testimonies and documents. For sake of brevity here, I will mention only one noteworthy detail, provided to my screen yesterday by Ari Melber. A notable detail in the developing case against the conspirators is: there was, allegedly, at least one insider in the Capitol building, who was aiding and abetting the attackers.

We shall see, in the days ahead, how our Justice Department and Special Prosecutor handle these allegations, whether convictions will be obtained, and the treasonous criminals brought to justice.

If you care to hear my sung rendition of my added third verse to our National Anthem, listen: 

Oh say can you see. . .
