January 6 criminal prosecutions could extend into 2024 election

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

It's been more than a year since the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, and still none of the defendants charged in the attack have gone on trial. Although a few are expected to start in the coming months, a Justice Department official told CBS News, defense lawyers believe that some of the hundreds of trials will extend into the 2024 presidential election.

Katie Cusick has made peace with the long wait ahead. "There's a looming cloud over our head," she said.

Her father and brother are among the hundreds of January 6 defendants awaiting trial dates and the re-opening of the Washington, D.C. federal court, where U.S. Capitol attack cases are being prosecuted.

They're frustrated by the delay and the progress," she said.

1. This shit has to be dealt with now!

Fast track ever case, or there will be no Democracy left. Why the hell is everyone afraid of Trump and his traitors?
We don't have the luxury of taking our time!

4. If you deny defendants due process, then democracy is already dead.

Are you familiar with the concept of discovery? Do have any idea the volume of January 6 videos, photos, and documents each defendant is entitled to?

3. Not if the cons take back the house and Senate

5. Congress has not control over the speed of DOJ prosecutions. Nt

6. I don't believe for one second they will take either but...

Even if they did, how does that stop the DOJ?

7. I guess they cant . they can shut down the investigation . There will be no recommendations

To pass on to the doj .

[Ohio Joe]

8. That is true...

I don't think the DOJ is relying on recommendations though... I think they are doing an honest investigation, starting from the low level crimes and working their way up. Getting convictions, evidence and getting people to flip on the next level up... Very much how an organized crime investigation goes.

10. Do you think the committee won't make its report before January 2023? Nt

[Fullduplexxx]

11. Not if the cons take the congress in 2022

[Fiendish Thingy]

12. What would stop the committee from issuing a final report before January 2023?

GOP taking back the house might dissolve the committee once they retake the majority in January 2023, but that won’t stop the committee from issuing their final report before then.
