20. Yes, DOJ is doing...

A bang up job trying to identify and prosecute the people who broke into the Capitol building and desecrated the place even though several judges have openly wondered in court why prosecutors are going so lenient on sentencing. To the point that one judge sentenced one of the rioters to 45 days in jail when prosecutors were asking for no jail time.

It also looks like they have done superb work tracking down Nancy Pelosi laptop and arresting a mother and her son from NY.

As for the coordinators of the event and instigators who were on stage on camera and with recent revelations that a Supreme Court Justice was basically on call for if Pence followed a 6pt memo to delay certification (thankfully he did not do that). Emails showing DHS telling DOD at 130pm that there was nothing out of the order going on in DC it was all quiet except for the windows being smashed at the Capitol. As well as evidence Capitol Police were calling in at 9am reporting that hundreds of people were crossing fence lines around the Capitol well before the stop the steal rally.

So 9months later with what is growing into a mountain of evidence that 6 Jan was not just some grassroots patriots venting but a planned and coordinated assault on our Democracy there is zero evidence or reporting that DOJ is looking beyond the perimeter of the Capitol Building for perpetuators of 6 Jan.
