Joyce Vance, former U.S. attorney, talks about the extent to which Donald Trump's lies about the 2020 election penetrated the Department of Justice and why a criminal investigation of what is increasingly looking like a coordinated effort to overturn the election is warranted. Aired on 08/06/2021.

1. Saw this yesterday. Im hoping Garland continues to clean house @DOJ

As this is so highly dangerous that any party could weaponize the department for political purposes.

2. Exactly, that's the scariest of all - here's hoping that the House Select Committee probes everything

And they really do need to clean House - and Senate! Those who planned and orchestrated January 6th need to be investigated, found out and charged - no matter who they are. They're responsible for a great deal of damage - not to mention assaults, injuries and deaths. Isn't attempting to overthrow the government a Capitol offense??

3. I heard this quote from a College Professor.

“Every decision in Government is political not every decision is partisan.” My guess is every decision by the Republican Party is partisan and political for their sole advantage.

I am not sure of the source it has stayed with me. I don’t even remember the Professors name.

4. Good quote, and I completely agree with you.

The Republican party has degenerated to the point that they never consider their constituents or what's good for the country - but only how to benefit themselves - and retain power so they can continue to benefit themselves - and remain out of jail.

5. It is incomprehensible to think that we would not pursue this attack on our democracy!

If we don’t investigate and charge this ongoing crime we are lost. This is not just about holding them accountable, though that should be more than enough. It is about 2022 and 2024. They will be doing this again!

6. Exactly.

Those responsible need to be charged - and that includes a through housecleaning wherever that leads.
