In case there's still any doubt DOJ is investigating Donald Trump

The Washington Post @washingtonpost
Breaking news: The Justice Department is investigating President Donald Trump’s actions as part of its criminal probe of efforts to overturn the 2020 election results, according to four people familiar with the matter. https://wapo.st/3owJ8Tf

The Washington Post @washingtonpost 35m
Prosecutors who are questioning witnesses before a grand jury have asked in recent days about conversations with Trump, his lawyers, and others in his inner circle who sought to substitute Trump allies for certified electors from some states Joe Biden won.

The Washington Post @washingtonpost 31m
The prosecutors have asked hours of detailed questions about meetings Trump led in December 2020 and January 2021; his pressure campaign on Pence to overturn the election; and what instructions Trump gave his lawyers and advisers about fake electors.

...informing Mr Trump he is a target in the criminal investigation.

(Trump was telling his supporters today that there were two sets of "justice" ) ??

I hope the DOJ is operating without "fear", as Garland said.

Adam Schiff is cautiously seeming a bit more optimistic. But, Schiff still sounds worried.

12. I'm convinced that Garland and the J6 committee are coordinating

their efforts. Garland needed the committee to prepare the public for eventual indictments because the case is unprecedented and the average American citizen doesn’t follow politics that closely. The committee will continue to hold sporadic hearings as Garland slowly raises the temperature as a way to try and avoid backlash and violence until indictments are issued, probably next spring.

16. I just listened to Prof. Tribe on O'Donnell show

and clips of the Garland interview were also shown. It helped to hear Tribe's and O'Donnell's reading of the news today. I'm satisfied that the DOJ is doing what they need to.
