Merrick Garland: "The actions we have taken thus far will not be our last"

[EarlG]

16. Right...

Seemed like this could have gone a few different ways. The least likely, to me, was that Garland would announce indictments of Trump's inner circle, or a special prosecutor. Given that the anniversary is tomorrow, I was expecting this to be basically just a brag on how many people they've charged -- almost a wrap-up, if you like.

He must of course be aware that people have been critical of DOJ and what they're up to with the Jan. 6 investigations, which is probably what prompted the above statement. The fact that he seemed to give it special emphasis did feel significant. He did not give the impression that they are wrapping this up.

Bigger picture though, I thought this was a good reminder that LOTS AND LOTS OF SERIOUS CRIMES WERE COMMITTED ON JANUARY 6, as we head into the anniversary tomorrow, and with public Select Committee hearings soon to follow.
