The DOJ has been conducting more extensive investigations than the Committee and for a longer time. Take just one case -- the one against the Proud Boys. The original complaint was sworn out against one PB leader in February 2001 -- less than a month after the insurrection. A month later, a grand jury returned a four count indictment against the Ethan Nordean. The DOJ continued to investigate, leading to three superseding indictments returned by two different grand juries to which DOJ presented evidence. The case now has six defendants and nine counts, including the big one -- seditious conspiracy. To get to this point, DOJ collected a vast amount of testimonial and documentary evidence -- even breaking the encryption on phones owned by some of the insurrectionists. The amount of material that DOJ has had to turn over to the defendants pursuant a discovery order measures in the hundreds of thousands of pages.

All of this is public information -- you can review the history of the PB case (which is a necessary predicate to going after Trump for seditious conspiracy) here https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/59704100/united-states-v-nordean/?page=3

Does that sound like the work of a bunch of trump loyalists? You should delete your post.
