15. It only took two months to find out there was an investigation

Wed May 18, 2022, 11:32 AM

May 2022

Grand Jury was convened in February 2022 (just three months after the US Attorney for DC was sworn in), and that fact was revealed in April 2022.

The US Attorney for DC is primarily responsible for leading investigations into crimes committed in DC. The position was filled by an acting USA until Matthew Graves was sworn in on November 5, 2021.

We don’t yet know what investigative activity took place before Graves was sworn in, but we know there has been plenty of activity since then.

I especially wonder how many traitors work in the DOJ he inherited. Mister Ed May 2022 #4

I especially wonder if that's why, gab13by13 May 2022 #7

Just as significant (if not more so ): the US Attorney for DC wasn't sworn in until Nov 5 2021 Fiendish Thingy May 2022 #14

Why? Can't DOJ investigate without forming a grand jury? gab13by13 May 2022 #16

Sure they can investigate without a GJ, we just don't know anything about it Fiendish Thingy May 2022 #19

I also believe it's important to get testimony & convictions of 1/6 participants first. CaptainTruth May 2022 #39

Right, and why would he waste time doing the J6 committee's job? Novara May 2022 #41

The job of the select committee is not to gather evidence for DOJ. gab13by13 May 2022 #44

They will turn over their evidence to the DOJ. fightforfreedom May 2022 #50

Garland is hung up on the OLC memo. He's an institutionalist. gldstwmn May 2022 #49
