I also have no doubt that DOJ is more on top of this than we mere mortals know.
While I'm nbot happy with the punishment end of the Jan 6th coup attempt so far,
I do have faith in the DOJ on these matters of Trump's criminal and treasonous behavior.
It's a tough situation. The criminality must be exposed and prosecuted, but the DOJ
has to steer clear of making it a political prosecution. I say this because in the end, I suspect that many GOP elected members of Congress will be wrapped up in this. This will ripple to every edge of one of the two major political parties in the US. It will be easy for critics to call it a political witch hunt.
Personally, I don't care what it "looks like", as long as the rats are rounded up, and justice is being served.
