Shouldn't there be a lot of witnesses they should be questioning?
Is it because they were holding back because they thought there would be a Commission to investigate it?
Or because they did not want to double-jeopardize possible charges against some very big names?
There should be a lot of people answering questions under oath right now.
Do you feel that things are moving much too slowly ?

(111,110 posts)...is because they think the situation is getting worse with every passing day, not better. A grand Jury can indict a ham sandwich but it can't indict Rudy Giuliani?

(18,486 posts)The fact that Giuliani hasn't yet been indicted tells us nothing.
People need to be patient.

(54,770 posts)want the masterminds behind it jailed. One can surely make a case trump, Rudy, etc., encouraged or maybe even commanded the rubes to attack the Capitol and end the certification. . . . .but Im not sure theyll get the ring leaders for something like that.
And, right now I dont think country can handle too much of an investigation that will be called political. Now, that might be different in a year.
Point is, for foreseeable future Id bet those 400 are only ones well see arrested, brought to trial, or cutting a deal. Now, fools like Gaetz might get arrested
