In reply to the discussion: Today is a big day in Garlands J6 investigation. [View all]fightforfreedom
(4,913 posts)12. No, it has not been a failure. That's how criminal investigations are done, from the bottom up.
You cannot compare the committee investigation to Garlands investigation. One is a large criminal investigation and the other is not. Do you believe arresting hundreds of people across the country, collecting evidence, putting them on trial, convicting them is a walk in the park? It's unprecedented what Garland has done so far. Now he is about to prosecute people for seditious conspiracy. Once again unprecedented. Do have any idea how many people and resources this takes?
While Garland has been doing this he has also been investigating the fake electors, the stolen documents. By the way, Garland has to deal with all other crimes across the country.
You are searching for anything to blame Garland. You are not looking at the big picture.

J6 committee faces MUCH LOWER standard. Doesn't have to try cases in front of judge and jury. nt

The bar is much higher for the DoJ. Heard of "beyond a reasonable doubt"?

Just give it up. The J6 committee can do that because they can't indict and don't indict

There are other types of conspiracies Trump can be charged with, it doesn't have to be for sedition.

Conspiracy to defraud the government. Conspiracy to commit election fraud.

If so, that's a problem. Because the DOJ is explicitly and specifically keeping tfg out of it.

The pressure must be a getting intense for the oath keepers. It's game time.

If we had a truly "just" justice system, Trump would be in jail for secret documents possession...

No. Not holding my breath for "Trump and his merry band of traitors will be in deep shit."
