Rachel said it tonight, [View all]

Rachel said that the Georgia Fulton county DA is investigating Trump's attempt to change the results of a valid election; a violation of state law. She then said, it does not appear that DOJ is investigating Trump's attempt in Georgia to change the results of a valid election, a violation of federal law.

Rachel said that DOJ is prosecuting people who invaded the Capitol attempting a coup. Rachel also said, it does not appear that DOJ is prosecuting people who organized and planned the coup.

Steve Bannon was low hanging fruit, not a member of Trump's administration, his trial is the middle of July. When will Mark Meadow's trial be scheduled if he is indicted?

I have been harping about this, bless the select committee, but it can only refer criminality to DOJ. If DOJ has been doing nothing, as people like Rachel Maddow are worrying about, it is troubling.

Hey but Liz Cheney is definitely going after Donald Trump.
