And thank you for engaging because like most people, I am frustrated as well. This is an ever-increasing nightmare situation that keeps getting worse and worse as they peel back the layers of the malfeasance that many of us feared might happen after that 2016 debacle of an election, but then hoped it wouldn't. Yet it really did happen... and worse than was speculated about.
However I know about some of the types of grunt work that has to happen in support of the routine enforcement actions, so when it comes to something like this, which has escalated to the level of a huge political conspiracy while you continue to have "me-tos" in Congress and embedded in various federal agencies, jumping into the fray to circle the wagons, it's mind-boggling what DOJ has had to deal with, including where to even begin, and what to prioritize.
We have seen that with the J6 Committee's series of hearings as they ended up expanding beyond their initial scope and plans. They anticipated doing 7 hearings and then "The End". Yet they would start with one subject, uncover more stuff while working on that, and then end up shifting to another more pressing subject, would find more, then shift again. Wash. Rinse. Repeat. Now they are talking about continuing into September.
We have gone from "election interference" to an attempt at a "violent overthrow of the government as part of seditious conspiracy", and now we are uncovering possible treason, with the theft and mishandling of our nation's top secrets. It is thoroughly unprecedented.
This literally has become the complete exposure of the "Vast Right-conspiracy" writ large.

I rounded the time the wrong way and should have used 19 months instead of 20.
