Jan 2022

The Midterms are now 11 months off. There HAS to be action prior to then.

Will there be? Who fucking knows?

Garland's speech was the 1st we've heard from the DOJ (or the FBI) since around 1/10/21 (remember those 2 bald guys? where'd they go?), and the 1st I've heard that mentioned anything besides the Capitol Riot pawns.

This was Conspiracy to commit Sedition, and I'm still not sure the DOJ sees that as prosecutable. Maybe if they had talked about it once or twice last year, there'd be a little more faith.
