"We the people" expect the Department of Justice to enforce the law as required by the separation of

powers of the constitution. Indictments in the January 6th Insurrection investigation need to accompany the committee recommendations.

It has become clear, from facts, that America has emerged from the single most corrupt Presidential administration in the history of the country, far worse than the long forgotten scandals of the Harding administration, which were pretty bad for their time. This has been worse than Watergate and the Nixon Administration, which has been the prime example of government corruption in America since it happened. Worse than Watergate. That, too, was about manipulating the electoral process, but this was far worse. This was an insurrection, a violent attempt to overthrow a legitimately elected government and overturn a legitimate election. It was an attack on American values, ideals and patriotism, and on the constitution and the peaceful transfer of power that is a bedrock and cornerstone of this nation.

If I were a felon with this guy hot on the trail of my crimes, I'd be having nightmares!

I do not believe Garland brought him on only for Smith to get to the finish line & tell him he cannot prosecute. That would be quite an insult.

If I were Smith, I would've negotiated that up front. 😉

Happy hoidays to you & yours!

If you were the felon, you'd already be in jail. Why isn't that orange gibbon? You get two gue$$e$ and the fir$t one doe$ not count a$ a gue$$. It amazes me how anyone else would be locked up yet those with real money get to run around free while the are being 'investigated'. Two-tiered system. There is no denying it.

Sickening!

Why weren't insurrectionists treated like bank robbers?

Why hasn't tfg been treated like a Black man seing individual cigarettes on a street corner?

Which poses the greatest threat to our society? Clearly not bank robbers or the man on the street corner.

And I firmly believe we would not be where we are today if Nixon had not been pardoned. Seriously.

Americas. One that we lived in, and the other that those with money, influence and power lived in.

If there are not indictments handed down in this case as well as the documents case, I don't believe Democrats will be able to survive 2024. It's becoming pretty clear that the wave that is forming now will ride on bringing Trump to trial on every single count of criminal activity he perpetuated while President. We can say goodbye to rule of law and hand the country over to the highest bidder if that doesn't happen, democracy and the constitution would be worthless.

This was worse than Watergate. Far worse.

It warrants indictments and convictions on criminal charges, resulting not only in the disqualification of those convicted, including Trump, from ever serving in public office, but in appropriate prison sentences that fit the crimes committed. We, the people, expect at least that much.

An example needs to be set and the firm defense of the constitution and American democracy established in order to deter those who would try to take us down this path again. This is America and democracy and individual freedom are American ideals. I hate to use cliches, but there's one that applies here. This is America, love it or leave it.
