Rachel just said that DOJ telling other investigators to stand down on Santos

[lostnfound]

She said they were ‘clearing the field’ of everyone else so it won’t interfere with the DOJ’S investigation. Is that what I heard her close with??

There was the stand-down given to the FEC a couple days ago, and now I think she was talking about a congressional committee investigation?

Then after clearing the field of the whole collection of people that might find his actions criminal, Merrick will send someone out with a popgun after a year or so of him serving in Congress.

21. the federal status of limitation ran out.

[Celerity]

28. Statute of limitations, not status. nt

[Takket]

5. Uh, no thanks.

DOJ is welcome to do their job and the FEC should do theirs. If the want the FEC to keep their mouths' shut and share anything they find with DOJ, fine, but DOJ hasn't moved on any of the seditionists in Congress yet after two years, so you'll excuse me if I don't think they're in a position to deal with Santos on their own. They need all the help they can get to move these things along.

6. Michigan handed the DOJ the fake electors case. Michigan is picking

that case up again a year later because they see no indication of progress against the fake electors.

The DOJ told New York to stand down on the Stormy Daniels case. Then sat on it till the statute of limitations ran out.

I really hope they don't stand down on Santos.

12. Did DOJ tell Michigan to stand down?

I remember the Michigan SOS going public about referring the case to DOJ because she believed the case was a broad one involving numerous states. Several months later I recall Lisa Monaco going on TV saying that DOJ was looking into the referral. It appears nothing was done until Jack Smith took charge.

[Scrivener7]

14. Yes, thank you. You are right, she handed the case to the DOJ. But she has reopened

it because:
https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/06/politics/michigan-fake-electors-attorney-general-dana-nessel-investigation/index.html

Nessel, a Democrat who previously referred the matter to federal prosecutors, told reporters that she is “a little worried” that more than a year has passed since she referred cases related to the false slates of electors to the Justice Department and believes there is “clear evidence” to support charges against the fake electors from Michigan.

And she is of the opinion that there is overwhelming evidence against the accused.

19. omfg, either the DOJ is about to bust out with 123423 tons of indictments in less than a year or ...

... they're blowing all these clear cut cases off.

This ... jus, ... damn

[ananda]

7. Is DOJ a Republican protection office?

Sheesh

Where cases against Republicans go to die?

Double sheesh

[uponit7771]

22. Michelle Obama might think so (vid)

8. I don't think that DOJ told the FEC to "stand down"

I believe it was more of a procedural request to avoid crossing jurisdictions.

[Emile]

13. By the time he goes after Santos he'll be retired from Congress.

[gab13by13]

16. Was it ever confirmed that he is a citizen?

I'm guessing he is.

[Emile]

17. LOL who knows?

[GeoWilliam750]

27. He was in the US when he was four months old, it appears

[republianmushroom]

18. Nailed it

[brooklynite]

20. "Merrick will send someone out with a popgun"

It's certainly a relief to know people have found something NEW to complain about. The old Garland rants were getting tiring...

nb: DOJ can't stop anything Congress is doing.

[phoenix75]

24. "Stand down"

Seriously???

[UTUSN]

25. K&R

26. The FEC has a long standing reputation for being toothless

DOJ, not so much.
