but it will be up to DOJ to carry the ball. If DOJ is doing nothing, the 1/6 insurrection was just practice.

There has been more than enough information revealed for DOJ to open up numerous investigations into the attempted coup.

I want General Garland to appoint a special counsel just like Barr appointed John Durham, who is still working and trying to dig up dirt on president Biden.

Frustrating.

Justice matters.

The Committee's primary mission is to draw up legislation that would prevent any other attack.

Once that law is ready, not sure it would pass the current Senate... if the filibuster is still in place.

We would need 60 Dem Senators in 2023 as no repuQs would vote for it.
