The J6 committee was formed on July 1st 2021. They have been investigating for roughly 16 months. They are still finding evidence and interviewing witnesses. They will be issuing their final report soon.
The DA Willis investigation began Feb. 10th 2021. Her investigation is ongoing and should be completed in less than 2 years.
The Garland J6 investigation which is much larger than the Willis investigation started after the Willis investigation for a simple reason. Garland was not sworn into office until March 2021. At best the Garland J6 investigation, the largest investigation in our history, has been going on for 18 months.
The secret document investigation. The subpoena for documents was issued on May 11 2022. The search warrant was approved by a judge on Aug. 5th. That investigation has been going on for a little over 3 months.
It is fair to say, emotionally the investigations have been taking too long. In reality they have not.
Unfortunately, rich assholes like Trump can hire lawyers to use every trick in the book to slow the process, average people cannot. Even with Trumps delay tactics all the investigations have moved forward at a steady pace.

(4,049 posts)The delays on the documents case are ridiculous. There is no reason why when they found documents at MAL that they did not immediately get warrants for every other place he lived. Had he been a retired general, CIA director, regular CIA spook, or anyone else the warrants would have been demanded and signed by a judge immediately.
The laws and regulations about those documents are clear. Everyone who ever had a clearance was told multiple times on the way in and on the way out that each document can lead to XX years of jail time and YY dollars of fines depending on the classification level.
Do not compare the documents case to the other two. The slow walking of it is unconscionable and likely aided the gerrymandering to a rethuglican house because Garland did not act quickly enough. We know he sat on the warrant request for weeks before growing enough spine to enact it.

(4,913 posts)There are many questions that still have to be answered. The future indictment should answer some of those questions.

(40,974 posts)15 million more of us voted against him in 2020 than 2016. Dem voters quashed the midterm "red wave." They will count on us again in 2024, to keep him out of office. Of course, a lot of that will depend on how SCOTUS rules on Moore v. Harper. Like someone else said, "It's a big club & we're not in it."
