So what is the DOJ able to say on investigations?

[drray23]

Each time somebody posts here how frustrated they are that Trump or any of the big players are not being investigated, they are told that the DOJ would never divulge that anyway and therefore we should be patient and not worry. Fine, I can see the argument.

However, what are we then supposed to make of the fact that the deputy AG just publicly commented on the fact that prosecutors are looking at the fake elector debacle and considering whether to charge.

See for example this thread:

Why did the DOJ divulge that and yet has not taken similar steps on other investigations?

1. Maybe because they are little people.

There are different rules for the ‘Rich and Powerful’ and the ‘Little people’ like us.

2. because they aren't doing other investigations.

Remember, DOJ got referrals from 2 state AG's to investigate the electoral fraud.

Tomorrow is day 42 since DOJ received Mark Meadow's criminal referral.

3. Depends on who is running the DOJ, who is under investigation, and how bold the people

in question are about going contrariwise to their superiors' wishes.

Let's not pretend that the entirety of the DOJ operates consistently by objectively and universally-applied standards.

4. My advice is to believe what we see. We can see if

something is happening or not. Just think back to past situations. The only way the DOJ will do anything is if republicans demand it because they typically don't give a shit about what democrats want. They serve moscowmitch & company.
