Did you not see the mountain of evidence the committee has already put together? We've only seen a smidgen of it. It's only the first hearing, for fuck's sake. The DOJ is going to rely on a lot of what the committee presents.
Do you remember Garland's concern for politicization? If he rushed to prosecute everyone involved according to your timeline, it would be 100% political retribution, banana republic style. I get it - that's what you want. Political retribution. But you can make that claim; Garland can't.
The DOJ has already indicted hundreds and hundreds of insurrectionists and they're working their way up the chain. They indicted SIXTEEN people for seditious conspiracy and they're getting closer and closer to the top of the crime heap. FOUR of those have already pleaded guilty AND ARE COOPERATING to give them people higher up in the chain of command. This TAKES TIME.
This is how you do it. You indict people and get their cooperation in order to indict those higher up. You don't go rushing in arresting everybody without the kind of evidence you can get from cooperating witnesses, and have your case fall apart because you didn't take the time to gather evidence. Hell, even Watergate took two years.
It's gonna happen. Too bad you can't see it because you're blinded and impatient.
