(4,913 posts)I will give one example of many.
Garland /DOJ is not investigating Meadows for the coup, he will never charge Meadows because Garland is an institutionalist. That is factual wrong. It is an opinion of someone who has given up on the justice system. They jump on anything which they can use in an attempt to prove their point. Nothing will happen, I told you so.
I understand why people are frustrated, but that is no excuse for saying things that are not true or have not happened Yet. Nothing is over yet and nobody has gotten away with anything yet. We are like in the 4th inning, a lot of innings left to play.

(8,851 posts)Navarro indicted>> Garland came through...Meadows contempt charge declined>>Garland undermined the J6 committee (no he did not), institutionalist, fire Garland
the DOJ declining to hold Meadows in contempt pissed off the J6 committee..how dare he not ask our permission..don't you know who we are??....get over it, guys...for months you've teased us with OMGs, blow the roof off, subpoenas, witnesses, ten thousand pages of documents...thank you for those mini reveals..now show us what you've got!!!

(18,626 posts)we keep reading about. Will it come to pass before the '22 elections? Before 2024?
We dont have that info. Just like the people saying nothing will happen do not have that info.

(18,626 posts)will skate in the end. Cheerleaders continue predicting outcomes that increasingly appear to be nothing more than wishful thinking. I imagine that's why end-of-the-world preachers are constantly forced to postpone doomsday predictions.

(8,851 posts)January 6, fake electors, rigged election, insurrection, treason, sedition..all unprecedented meting justice is easy doing right is hard..Garland has to get this right and that takes time
sop
(18,626 posts)Just call us "realists."
CrackityJones75
(2,403 posts)They would look at the fact that there is a real investigation happening with real hearings starting and be real with the fact that they have absolutely no idea how it will play out.
Being a realist isnt playing make believe that you know what is going to happen and making declarations about it. That is prognostication and it is being done without any real information to back it up.
sop
(18,626 posts)That's not prognosticating, it's reality.
CrackityJones75
(2,403 posts)By that logic every investigation going forward will yield the same results as those did. That isnt a realist take at all. (btw the structure of the executive branch, house and senate were different then too)
sop
(18,626 posts)Till then I remain a skeptical realist.
CrackityJones75
(2,403 posts)A realist you arent. Unless your take is that we have to wait and see what happens there is no realism in your take.
I also think it is absolutely ridiculous to use names like cheerleaders and naysayers. It is juvenile and possibly offensive to some. People definitely are optimists and pessimists. A realist in this situation is one that can admit that we do not know what the outcome will be.

(4,913 posts)Trump was in power and had a corrupt AG. That is no longer the case.
fightforfreedom
(4,913 posts)The cheerleaders who use facts and evidence to draw their opinions or the naysayers who use, nothing has happened, to draw their opinions. Let the best team win.
fightforfreedom
(4,913 posts)There are multiple investigations going on. The open hearings begin next week. Multiple grand juries are calling witnesses and issuing many subpoenas. The evidence already made public is overwhelming, many people are guilty of committing crimes. We all know it.
That's why the cheerleaders are saying they believe people are going to be held accountable.
Naysayers have, nothing has happened yet, it's over, no one will be charged.

(115,407 posts)....because the Democrats will keep the House. They will continue their investigation into next year if the DOJ does not take it over immediately.

(6,115 posts)There is SO LITTLE that anyone anywhere actually knows about what the J6 committee has and what the DOJ has and where it will lead. Only the committee and the DOJ know. We sure as fuck don't.
But everybody's got their opinion.
fightforfreedom
(4,913 posts)We will learn more for sure, but to say we know little is not true.
Novara
(6,115 posts)That gives you an idea how huge this is.
We will start finding out what they have this Thursday.
fightforfreedom
(4,913 posts)We are going to learn a lot more. We all know the main plot and will all know the traitors are guilty.
We are debating time frames for indictments, mostly. Some say they are coming, some say never.
Novara
(6,115 posts)I'll just sit back and watch the show.
