DOJ rebuffs Democrats' request for inventory of Trump's boxes

[ancianita]

31. "Rebuffs"?? BS. DOJ's had a full plate since it was able to constitute itself a year and a month ago

BS media headline -- Biden administration in disarray!
Thing is, Congress has no judiciary power. So there's no conflict between government branches.

If anyone wants to be upset with the DOJ, they should be upset that the DOJ isn't twice as big.

First, the DOJ has jurisdiction over this crime of illegal removal. Not the House Oversight Committee.

Second, the DOJ has jurisdiction over the crime of removing classified material.

Third, beyond this crime, the DOJ has jurisdiction over any evidence on Jan 6 participants, and will use any evidence it finds in the boxes when the criminal referral(s) come in from the Jan 6 committee. So House Oversight can move on to other kinds of oversight. The DOJ's got this.

This DOJ is air tight. This AG is apolitical. No leaks. No complaints from the legal community. Doing its job.

As for frustrations with the DOJ's alleged slowness...

As of March 12 2022:

762 arrested and charged for federal crimes

374 indicted by grand juries

231 convicted and

97 sentenced

328 across 50 states

————————————

As of April 12 2022:

778 arrested and charged for federal crimes

377 indicted by grand juries

257 convicted

109 sentenced

The convicted and sentenced 366 come from across 50 states but the DC circuit court system has had to handle all of them. That's 28 persons either convicted or sentenced per month by the federal DC district.

Of the 377 indicted there has only been one acquittal.


Because of the refusal of Republicans to help Garland get his division heads in place; because of the vastness of the federal case load because of the vastness of the criminality, this is a slow process. There is more than enough evidence of due process, and there is no evidence of impropriety, negligence, equivocation or failure to act. If a Republican Congress were to get voted in this year, the DOJ would still do its job to the end.
