“The good news is that the DOJ could still act and hold those responsible accountable for the crimes of 1/6.”

That a sentence like that should ever have to be written when a Dem is President. The DOJ has been by far the biggest disappointment of the Biden era. Garland & DOJ have been real tough with the LHF of 1/6 but completely and intentionally incompetent when it comes to the DT’s, Thomas, Bannon, Stone, Miller etc, etc all of the people who organized and whipped up 1/6.

History is full of examples of people breaking the law and then not being held accountable and doing it again only smarter because they have been allowed to learn the mistakes of the 1st.

Because the DOJ has not acted and pretty soon we will start hearing the excuse that it is now too close to an election (midterms) for them to do anything… it is all but guaranteed that the 2022 midterms are going to be a huge 💩show. Every republican that loses their election will claim the vote a fraud/rigged. Had the DOJ acted at some point in the last 2 yrs this might have been avoided. Comey sunk the Dems in 2016 in 2022 it will be Garland and his complete lack of spine to defend Democracy.
