The Justice Department's Jan 6 investigation is looking at . . . everything

Dozens of subpoenas issued last week show that the Justice Department is seeking vast amounts of information, and communications with more than 100 people, as part of its sprawling inquiry into the origins, fundraising and motives of the effort to block Joe Biden from being certified as president in early 2021.

The subpoenas, three of which were reviewed by The Washington Post, are far-reaching, covering 18 separate categories of information, including any communications the recipients had with scores of people in six states where supporters of then-President Donald Trump sought to promote "alternate" electors to replace electors in those states won by Biden.

One request is for any communications "to, from, or including" specific people tied to such efforts in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, New Mexico, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Most of the names listed were proposed fake electors in those states, while a small number were Trump campaign officials who organized the slates.

Taken together, the subpoenas show an investigation that began immediately after the storming of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and has cast an ever-widening net, even as it gathers information about those in the former president's inner circle.

1. Better late than never....

But I am afraid it may be too late to collect a lot of physical evidence that may have been still around if the DoJ had acted sooner.

5. Do you mean the golf courses, tRump tower, the airplane

and all the properties under the name of tRump? I'd bet my bottom dollar that there is more to be found. How about stuff the family might have squirreled away?

This whole thing disgusts me. Please, DOJ get a move on.

If this situation was connected to the rest of us, we'd be in jail by now.

6. "Better late than never...."

But part of the article excerpt says this -

Taken together, the subpoenas show an investigation that began immediately after the storming of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021

How is that "late" except for it to "get out into the media" about something happening??

7. Exactly. DOJ has always been investigating -- the gift that keeps on giving.

Besides, they keep quiet and keep the media out of it until they are ready.

10. "the subpoenas show an investigation that began immediately after the storming of the U.S. Capitol"

That ain't late. Per the article the DOJ has been working on this for 2 years now.

8. But won't Liz Cheney be leaving the committee in January?

makes me wish they'd hurry up before she leaves.
