The DOJ investigation into Jan 6th is the largest, most sensitive, investigation in our history. [View all]

I can understand why people are upset with Garland. He has indicted over 700 people who attacked the capital. However, it doesn't look like he is investigating the people at the top for the attempted coup. People are rightfully wondering why hasn't he indicted Meadows.

Now we learn Garland is requesting more funding and over 130 additional lawyers. I believe we have to put what Garland is facing into perspective.

What Garland is investigating makes Watergate look tiny. Garland is looking at investigating Trump, top Whitehouse officials, staff, multiple lawyers, some members of congress, members of state governments, possible a supreme court judge. Nothing like this has happened before in our history.

Garland has to take his time and do things right for such a sensitive, future defining, criminal case. He has to do this in such a way, it doesn't look politically motivated.

He started the investigation working from the bottom up, over seven hundred cases. Some of the defendants have been charged with seditious conspiracy. Garland still has more work to do with these cases. He is still searching for more people who attacked the capital.

While all of this is going on the DOJ has to investigate many other crimes in our country.

It is difficult to explain why he hasn't indicted Meadows. It does not look good, even the members of the committee are pissed off. In time we may learn there was a very good reason why Garland has not indicted Meadows. Time will tell, we all have to be patient, after all, this is the largest investigation in our history.

Garland is either going to become famous or infamous, there is no middle ground. He knows what is at stake. We have to give him more time.
