With the Woodward/Costa book, Peril, and the Senate report that documented trump's attempt

to overturn the election by installing loyalists at the DOJ to attempt a coup, will the Attorney General actually bring charges against those involved at the highest government levels?

...to the American people, rather than convictions of the guilty parties?

Although there will never be a consensus when we have political leaders that are willing to lie and deceive their supporters, no matter how many facts and truths are made public.

But it is still essential to make it public. People have free will. You can give them all the facts and they can decide what they wish to do with them.

An issue wirh our DOJ has is they keep some record of cases like a kind of sport statistic. They only want cases they are reasonably confident they can win in front of a jury. With so much MAGAs loose they are going to be reluctant to press cases.

In most of the USA they will pursue federal cases against Marijuana, in Manhattan NYC they almost never will, as they can't be sure they'll get a 'hanging jury'.

I hope they are building cases while working on jury selection strategies both which district courts to move forward within and which cases to push forward.
