Slowly a conspiracy case is being built focusing in particular on the east side of the Capitol, Alex Jones and the Oath keepers. They need people to cooperate. Will they ever get to Trump? Who knows. They are going where the evidence takes them:

2. DOJ needs to appoint a special prosecutor with broad powers.

The entire investigation could come to a halt if republican take the house back.
