The Jan.6th Committee is doing a terrific job in laying out the storyline to what took place prior to the 2020 Election and up until now.

With the investigation in Georgia with Election interference, this overlaps to the Federal charges of the same. The DOJ will be derelict in their duties to ignore this.

Where is DOJ? If you think they are going to be heroes, you are wrong.

The DOJ is investigating the entire coup. Willis is investigating just what happened in Georgia. This is not hard to understand.

Remember how we always talk about the bane of "states rights"? This is one of those situations where the federal government would defer to the states while building a case to determine/prove any direct violations of federal law and/or the Constitution. And recall how the RW SCOTUS has gutted provisions to the VRA.

You only need one or two to bring conviction to fruition. All the juries can't be rigged by MAGA moles.

Not that the DOJ doesn't already know this. But in my mind it builds a stronger case for other prosecutions. First domino to fall, one might say.

Trumps recorded phone call is like the Nixon tapes. Nixon was done after the discovery of the tapes. This is a smoking gun case.

Nixon was more popular than Trump when he was president. After the tapes were revealed many of his followers turned.

TDFG is full of vengance. He seeks retribution on those who turn against him. He demands loyalty when it is he who is not loyal. TDFG needs to be imprisoned and be made an example of in the most public of ways, that corruption, sedition, and possible treason are not to be tolerated by anyone be they common man or President of The US.

His shit stinks and it is about time he knew that.

I don't think anybody knows. Perhaps there are some other biggies out there in Legal Land that are still in the works unknown to all of us? I hope that the six states where these false electors were nominated under fake pretenses too, take steps (I think some are) to protect the integrity of their elections (and nomination process of the actual, true electors in the future).
