The January 6th Committee made its case; we, the people, now expect justice
https://signalpress.blogspot.com/2022/07/the-january-6th-committee-makes-its.htmlIn a systematic, thorough, well-organized, articulate manner, the January 6th committee has made its case against the former President. Minds have been changed. I don't expect that those who are loyal to Trump, rather than to America, will acknowledge any of what the committee has laid out, but that's not as large of a constituency as it might seem. Will it lead to an indictment, a conviction, and the massive relief that would provide as people realize America really is a country based on the rule of law? If it doesn't, then there's no justice in America.
The future of American democracy and the Constitution of the United States is now at stake. It has proven to be one of the strongest political documents in world history up to this point. It has been challenged, and the challenges have been met with the enforcement of its principles as necessary. It has held. That's what needs to happen now. The Republic and the Constitution need to be defended, and in the process, to be strengthened in order to continue to support the enduring foundational principles that make America a nation. And doing that is in the hands of the Democratic party's leadership, including President Biden, the justice department and Attorney General Merrick Garland.
I hope Attorney General Garland makes Mitch McConnell regret derailing his nomination to the Supreme Court. I hope, when this is over, that they wish he'd been on the court instead of at the justice department.

I saw some pretty emotional but weak stuff in terms of charging and convicting (IANAL!!!!)
And to make you know who's job less controversial.
The SERIOUS stuff in my opinion is:
Congresspeople leading the coup on the ground.
The pipe bomber
Breaking every known records retention and handling of classified information law (including sending it off to Russia, which is espionage and treason)
Coordinating the fake elector scheme.
Coordinating the camouflaged assault with intent to commit mayhem on public officials, using idiots as cover.
These are extremely serious and we heard basically ZERO about them, so that must be the coordination with DOJ. You can't work up these cases in a public hearing, but you can just butter things up.
