In reply to the discussion: Laurence Tribe: If Garland doesn't prosecute Trump, the rule of law is "out the window" [View all]msfiddlestix
(8,185 posts)84. definitely true. way too much to expect from a small district office
are we suffering from a deficit of competency in the FBI/Justice Depts? I recently read FBI has 30,000 Agents nation wide,
Or are there too many sympathizers for insurrectionists and stop the steal occupying top echelon of these agencies, putting their thumb on the progress of potential investigations?
i'm beginning to suspect that is the case, but less I be accused of CT, wasn't there a report posted here on DU in the past couple of weeks or so of the office that oversees Justice essentially stating that "there's nothing to investigate" ?
I'm forgetting the acronym of the office at the moment. Maybe in the morning I'll recall or someone will remind me.
I'm just so saddened, and disheartened at a loss to describe it anymore.

There won't need to be one. It will all be done electorally, by the R legislatures.

Yes. I compare it to the Church's seeming reluctance to fully pursue the child molesters
