12. DOJ should move to a special prosecutor NOW and give that office wide latitude to go with the facts.

Take this out of the Congress and put it beyond the reach of the corrupt GOP cover-up artists now, or watch them suffocate the investigation in its crib in January.

1) Americans on the whole are fools, easily swayed by TV and Internet memes.
2) Americans on the whole are reactionaries to the economy on election day - whoever is in power on bad days is going to lose
3) The economy is realtively strong, but inflation makes it feel awful
4) Americans are notorious for voting with their 'gut'.

Given these headwinds and the usual disgruntlement of the electorate in a Presidental mid-term for the past 30+ years, there is every reason to believe that the GOP doomsday clock is counting down loudly right now. Getting the case of J6 out of Congressional reach is 100% imperative to having anything close to free elections beyond Nov. 2022.
