DOJ Called On To Open A Sedition Investigation Into Trump And His Staff

[Ohio Joe]

29. Nonsense...

"the notion that cases have to proceed from the bottom up is a cop out."

No... It is how mob cases are prosecuted. Your desire to just go after the top is a recipe for failure, just like your desire to go after Meadows for peanuts while giving all of TFG's inner circle a get out of jail free card.

""almost certainly" is a good way to frame it, I agree. DOJ is almost certainly, one day, going to investigate people who were not at the Capitol on 1/6. If a grand jury was looking at "inner circle" people it would have leaked out."

So much wrong here... I say almost certainly because we do know for a fact people in TFG's inner circle are under investigation... I've given you the facts twice in the last few days (and many times before that)... Here it is yet again:

TOM BARRACK
RUDY GIULIANI
ROBERT COSTELLO
SIDNEY POWELL
MARK MEADOWS
ALEX JONES
ROGER STONE
ERIK PRINCE

But, you know... Keep pretending that does not exist... And certainly don't address it because you never do... Just make the same incorrect claim again in a day or two. We also know that two of the seditious conspirators have flipped and are being used in the 7th 1/6 Grand Jury with every indication being that this is for TFG's inner circle based on what we know they are being shown... The two flippers, whatever evidence the flippers have (we know they have some, just not what it is) and Terrio and Rhode's phones. That is what we know is being shown, there is definitely more as DOJ only goes to Grand Jury when they have a lock. All of that points squarely at TFG's inner circle.

As for other people not at the capitol, so far two have been indicted... Terrio and Rhodes... But you have also been shown that many times before.

"We know for certain that DOJ has at least 2 prosecutors digging up dirt on the Bidens, that has been leaked."

No, there is only one investigation into Hunter, that is by David Weiss and it was not leaked but announced by Barr when TFG was president. Durham may have mentioned the laptop in a filing but that is red meat for the base and not an investigation.

Oh... And regardless of what Painter may or may not have said about TFG, he is still someone who was the White House ethics lawyer... Not exactly someone whose legal word I'll take.
