Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco says DOJ will hold perpetrators accountable..all levels. [View all]

From Axios Article 5 hrs ago:

What they're saying: Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco said on Monday that the Jan. 6 investigation is "among the most wide-ranging and most complex that this department has ever undertaken."

She added: "Regardless of whatever resources we seek or get, let's be very, very clear: We are going to continue to do those cases. We are going to hold those perpetrators accountable, no matter where the facts lead us, [and] as the attorney general has said, no matter at what level. We will do those cases."

"Hold those perpetrators accountable...no matter where the facts lead us, sop Mar 2022 #45

So far, over 700 perpetrators were held accountable. Proof enough? Beastly Boy Mar 2022 #47

I remain agnostic as to the DOJ's commitment to go after the 1/6 ringleaders. sop Mar 2022 #56

On this case, you must be very pleased with my previous post. Beastly Boy Mar 2022 #68

Not particularly, but you seem to believe justice has been done in this case. sop Mar 2022 #69

Timing is everything. dchill Mar 2022 #13

The House controls the DoJ???? AZSkiffyGeek Mar 2022 #15

They do NOT. You know it and I know it. dchill Mar 2022 #18

So you understand the House has nothing to do with the DoJ, yet you brought it up as if it does AZSkiffyGeek Mar 2022 #31

I think you misread that post (n/t) William Seger Mar 2022 #42

Dems hold the house but after Nov we have a good chance NOT to and that would be the end of uponit7771 Mar 2022 #90

If they're not putting every bit of evidence in public, they're obviously not doing anything AZSkiffyGeek Mar 2022 #14

Yeah. It's ridiculous. MineralMan Mar 2022 #16

You almost got me as I read your title...then I read the rest of your post 🙂 MLAA Mar 2022 #30

Since 2008 DOJ policy has been to not prosecute political crimes during election season. sop Mar 2022 #17

It's always election season, though. MineralMan Mar 2022 #19

And perhaps they are not. Scrivener7 Mar 2022 #85

Yes. Perhaps has a meaning. MineralMan Mar 2022 #96

Lol! Scrivener7 Mar 2022 #98

Strange take. Celerity Mar 2022 #86

I did not either. I'm suggesting the Garland critics will not be satisflied, w/o extensive, empedocles Mar 2022 #26

Curious why you read Business Insider for that type of news? gab13by13 Mar 2022 #46

Garland critics will be thrilled with any indictment of an organizer of the coup. Scrivener7 Mar 2022 #81

My question then: How would DOJ Backseat Driver Mar 2022 #66

For gawd's sake, will anyone ever clearly define "big fish"? Beastly Boy Mar 2022 #36

Perfect. Let's all use it consistently as a standard to apply to Garland's investigations, shall we? Beastly Boy Mar 2022 #74

This message was self-deleted by its author Chin music Mar 2022 #75

So, based on this latest definition, DOJ already has 11 big fish that we know of in their bucket. Beastly Boy Mar 2022 #76

Believe it when I see it Sherman A1 Mar 2022 #20

Yes. I share that sentiment. Actions speak louder than comradebillyboy Mar 2022 #33

Yep. The DOJ is sprinkling fairy dust and the usual suspect are proclaiming their virtuous faith. Scrivener7 Mar 2022 #82

I'll believe it when people start getting indictments and prison sentences. Marius25 Mar 2022 #21

Am I the only one uneasy over the use of the term "January 6th Investigation"? Tom Rinaldo Mar 2022 #29

Ditto. Beastly Boy Mar 2022 #39

Tasked by whom? gab13by13 Mar 2022 #58

You may know the answer, but it's not my answer. Beastly Boy Mar 2022 #70

Under that definition asking Georgia officials to find votes for Trump isn't yet being investigated Tom Rinaldo Mar 2022 #60

Georgia DA is investigating the matter as we speak Beastly Boy Mar 2022 #71

Yes, of course that counts as "a legal action" to hold Trump accountable etc. Tom Rinaldo Mar 2022 #77

I am not suggesting that DOJ shouldn't investigate beyond events of Jan. 6. Beastly Boy Mar 2022 #78

"We will do those cases". Wow, how much confidence does that sentence inspire? Jetheels Mar 2022 #37

What were you expecting? Beastly Boy Mar 2022 #40

Those who doubted this need to reassess their own thinking and biases. L. Coyote Mar 2022 #44

Far, far too early for the determination of who was right and who was wrong. Celerity Mar 2022 #84

Speaking of biases, looks like faith in things unseen makes one feel pretty virtuous. Scrivener7 Mar 2022 #89

When? DallasNE Mar 2022 #48

By the time they get around to charging anyone we may well have Trump as president again. Kablooie Mar 2022 #49
