Go after those that aided and abetted, and were complicit, in his crimes.
Take Trump out of the equation. Charge all the others that betrayed our country and carried the water for Trump's desire to hold power.
Go after those that told the Big Lie about the election and those that broke election laws.
Go after those that organized a rebellion against our country.
Go after those that defied lawful subpoenas from the Congress of the United States.
Go after those that knew the truth but chose to cover it up.
Go after those that conspired to overturn a fair and legal election.
For the time being, forget Trump.
Charge those that committed crimes for him and betrayed our country.
Then, go after Trump.
In my opinion, that would be the best way to handle this investigation.

(3,245 posts)there's numerous investigations going on right now,
the DOJ and the actual people who entered the Capitol unlawfully and the destruction. In that there's been many, many arrests and eventually they'll climb the ladder to those at the top.
Same is being done by the Jan. 6th Commission. If you look at those subpoenaed, right now they're at the base of the ladder in that who organized and funded the rallies and will work their way up the ladder as more information is gathered.
At some poin, those two events will merge.

Vacillating between having confidence, then not.

(13,565 posts)I can see the logic in that.
He's doing everything he can to look larger than he is, when he really only controls about 10 percent of the electorate. (GOP is 25 percent, Trump's share of that 25 percent is 44 percent. Roughly 10 percent of the electorate.)
Much of what Trump is, is smoke and mirrors and loud belching sulphur. He really is a very small man.

I would like to see every Republican heavily grilled by some good reporters.
