DOJ is working as hard as the Jan. 6 committee, maybe harder, and could use more help from them

21. the only ones they didn't enforce were Meadows and Scavino

...who were senior aides to Trump, at least in the wording of the law granting Trump Executive Privilege over the conversations and communications between each other.

The primary reason for charging Meadows and Scavino with Contempt would be to obtain those privileged documents and communications which Congress was unable to.

Justice Dept. apparently concluded that chasing those challenges to pretty solidly established law governing what presidents share with their closest advisors, ultimately ending up at a Supreme Court Stacked 6-3 with far right conservatives would take too long without helping much. Or they feel confident in what evidence they have and can obtain.

It's not the end of the prosecution of Meadows, Trump, and others. It just means that those communications Congress and DOJ both want will not become available to them in these prosecutions. No chance in hell.

But if you think that's the totality of the case the DOJ is building against the WH, right in front of us, take a look at who they are prosecuting right now, and why.

We're learning a lot more about the DOJ's January 6 investigations

There’s always been a bit of a disconnect between the public perception of this investigation and the actual steps being taken in it. There’s ample criticism of Garland being slow and not aggressive, but the Justice Department has charged more than 800 defendants and secured guilty pleas from more than a third of those. That is a massive undertaking for the adjudication of justice. It is the largest federal investigation in history.

The crime of the breach of Congress occurred on January 6, 2021, and it was shortly after the one-year anniversary that we saw the DOJ’s first seditious conspiracy charge land. That was also when we picked up indications that the investigation had expanded outside of just those on the grounds that day and into political circles.

As any prosecutor will tell you, investigations take time. The DOJ has five years, under the law, to investigate and prosecute as they see fit. We just reached the end of the first quarter.
