In reply to the discussion: Garland's DoJ pens strongly worded letter to Musk [View all]bigtree
(94,403 posts)52. they'd be investigated, and charged if they were found to be committing a prosecutable offense
...same as in this case where the individuals involved associated with Musk's PAC will be threatened with charges or indicted to compel their testimony against Musk.
AFTER that process of investigation, if what they've found supports it, the material evidence they've obtained will be presented to the grand jury, along with the testimony of all involved who aren't incriminating themselves (outside of an cooperating agreement) by talking.
DOJ will pursue evidence until they believe the benefit in continuing outweighs moving forward, or if they don't find enough they believe will convict.
Same for Dem or republican with this DOJ.

And we're supposed to ignore the fact that the crime has already been committed, multiple times?
Think. Again.

A warning letter might have been appropriate BEFORE the crime was committed.
