DOJ Prepares to Pull Multiple January 6 Threads Together

[Just_Vote_Dem]

Marcy Wheeler again from emptywheel.net:

"DOJ’s scope is broader than the fake electors, broader even then the financing of the coup attempt (which, remember, Merrick Garland said was under investigation as early as January 5). As CBS describes, some of these subpoenas cover events that have long been part of the investigation for rioters: how they networked at state riots and earlier MAGA rallies, and how they responded to Trump’s call for Stop the Steal in December 2020. Only, this time it asks for evidence about those who organized those events."

The Republican Federation of Women get nabbed in this.

They helped rent the buses - planned for a LOT of women to be there.

2. Republican Attorneys General also heavily involved

I hope every single one of them loses their law licenses.

7. DOJ is asking for evidence about those who organized events

Ya mean like a Supreme Court Justice and his wife? Put Slappy Thomas in jail and put President Obama on the SC.

8. The storm is brewing for Trump and his tribe of traitors.

9. Hoping we don't end up with this: "For the purpose of healing the deep divides that have arisen..."

It is believed that a trial of Richard Nixon, if it became necessary, could not fairly begin until a year or more has elapsed. In the meantime, the tranquility to which this nation has been restored by the events of recent weeks could be irreparably lost by the prospects of bringing to trial a former President of the United States. The prospects of such trial will cause prolonged and divisive debate over the propriety of exposing to further punishment and degradation a man who has already paid the unprecedented penalty of relinquishing the highest elective office of the United States.

Now, THEREFORE, I, GERALD R. FORD, President of the United States, pursuant to the pardon power conferred upon me by Article II, Section 2, of the Constitution, have granted and by these presents do grant a full, free, and absolute pardon unto Richard Nixon for all offenses against the United States which he, Richard Nixon, has committed or may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 20, 1969 through August 9,1974.

10. Today is the day of the last primaries for 2022 (DE NH RI)

Instead of the "60 day before an election rule (that's not really a rule)", what if AG Garland is waiting for the last primaries to be held to be 100% sure that Trump isn't appearing on any ballot anywhere in 2022 before moving on him?
