60. Under that definition asking Georgia officials to find votes for Trump isn't yet being investigated

Which means that when the DOJ affirms that "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" as of this time that does not include, for example, holding Trump accountable for "asking" Georgia's Secretary of State to find 11,000+ votes for him while issuing thinly veiled threats against him should he not.

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

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

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