DOJ ISN'T DOING ANYTHING! Oh, wait...

[MineralMan]

Several charges of Seditious Conspiracy against people who were planning the insurrection seem like SOMETHING to me, somehow. I guess the DOJ has been working on this all along. I guess it's busy investigating stuff about 1/6/21. Who knew?

Well, nobody knew. Nobody also knew that it wasn't doing anything. Plenty of people, though, were happy to tell us that the DOJ was sitting on its hands and doing nothing. They didn't know that was true, but they said it anyhow.

Others of us said, "Wait and see what the DOJ does. It all takes time."

I think we understand now that the DOJ has been doing its job, quietly and without announcing stuff out of turn. I hope we understand that, anyhow.

What will the DOJ do next? As I have said many other times, "I don't know yet." That does not mean that I think or believe that the DOJ is doing NOTHING. It just means that I don't know what it is doing yet.

1. They're definitely handing out hand slaps to those who stormed the place.

[BlackSkimmer]

13. Lol.

Indeed.

2. Official press release from DOJ explaining *SEDITIOUS CONSPIRACY* re: the 1/6attack on Congress.

3. So you are okay

if no Trump Administration officials or Members of Congress are indicted and it ends here?

4. So something finally happens...

And you are expecting it to be all there is?

[MineralMan]

7. Weird, huh?

Why would that be anyone's conclusion after these arrests? Just the beginning, I'm thinking. But, as always, I don't know what the DOJ's plans are, nor what the next steps will be. Neither does anyone else who doesn't work there.

[2naSalit]

9. Indeed.

I'm in the hide and watch crowd.

[edhopper]

14. No

but I don't want to hear that I shouldn't want more to happen just because of this arrest.

That I can't voice that there is still work needed by Garland and the DOJ.

[MineralMan]

5. What makes you think nobody else will be indicted?

There is no evidence of that. What makes you think I'm OK with just this? I assure you that I am not, and that I expect more to come. As AG Garland said, they are working from the bottom up. That's how it works.

Why would I think it ends with these arrests and charges? Why would you think that?

[edhopper]

12. I don't think you are

and my post was a trap.
Because my response is why do I and others get push back when we simply say we want to see Garland go after the higher ups and will continue to say we will not be satisfied if we don't see that.
We can still comment about this, even if we don't know exactly everything that is happening at the DOJ.

When I say I want Trump and all the guilty Repugs see justice, I don't think the answer is stand back and shut up until something happens.

[Scrivener7]

17. This. This is a universal wish on DU. We all want Trump and the guilty GOP to see justice.

The eternal pushback and villification of those who dare to voice this sentiment are absurd.

Very well said. Thank you.

6. I'm hoping this is the start of outing bigger players.

Not holding my breath, of course.

[MineralMan]

8. It's important to keep breathing, I think.

[Beastly Boy]

10. Demand an apology and retribution, like I did.

[MineralMan]

11. I saw that. Good luck with getting an apology.

Thanks.

15. Not useful OP, MM.

Perhaps it is the rabble that has kept the pot burning.

Just let it go.

[MineralMan]

16. Frankly, I don't need advice on what to post here.

Truly...

[Grasswire2]

18. Nor does anyone else.

But we all are free to share our opinions. Which you just did, too.

That's the way it works.

[malaise]

19. LOL

[wellst0nev0ter]

20. DOJ still appears to be narrowly focused on 1/6

While letting Trump crimes fall by the wayside.
