Related: About this forumTrump flunky Kash Patel pleads the 5th; is DOJ investigative circle really tightening around Trump?
We are forever hearing media reports like the following from the New York Times:
"Prosecutors Pressure Trump Aides to Testify in Documents Case"
"Federal prosecutors . . . have ratcheted up their pressure on key witnesses"
"The Justice Department's investigation . . . is entering a new phase"
While it's true that the Department of Justice is pushing witnesses like Trump flunky Kash Patel to testify about/against Trump, what are we to make of the incessant refrain that the investigative circle is tightening about Donald Trump and his criminal associates?
In this video, I draw on my career as a prosecutor to view these claims through the lens of what I heard over and over from crime victims who felt like they were made to wait too long for arrests and/or indictments to be made: "the streets know." Here's how that sentiment translates to our current state of affairs, as we await justice to come for Donald Trump. - Glenn Kirschner - 10/28/2022.

OP
The January 6th Committee will, but not DOJ - which has the Committee recommendations

While I don't understand the hesitation, the January 6th Committee has turned over even more evidence

It was being discussed tonight and the consensus was that so many have now been charge and convicted for lesser crimes - not to mention the threat to the lives of those who work in national security - that DOJ has no choice but to charge TFG for far, far worse.
