DOJ had to be shamed into investigating a guy who tried to overthrow the government.

Same guy who killed a million people with a disastrous COVID response.
When the DOJ stands in front of the American people saying no man is above the law, while it was giving this bullshit a pass, I’m not sure what to think about that. So fucking disillusioned, again.

finally. And it was much delayed as you said.

trump would've already been tried and probably convicted if Garland's DOJ had started it's investigation of the ATTEMPTED COUP AGAINST THE US GOVERNMENT as soon as his appointment as AG was approved.

That should've been his mandate to proceed immediately.

his body language seemed uncomfortable to me. That should have been Garlands priority from day one but now we all know he was reluctant and didn't want to do it. The Garlands got this crowd owes a few people an apology. They seem to be MIA today.

I'm angry, frustrated and worried about what's next. trump had over a year to poison and pollute the country with his lies. Voters have been disenfranchised by all sorts of suppression laws. And I don't think the current prosecutions will conclude in time.
