(768 posts)Mueller's investigation on Russian interference into the 2016 election took a solid 2 years. No one should be surprised that this investigation into the events of January 6th will take just as long if not longer.
This is the strength and the weakness of our system of justice. Proof must be established beyond doubt, which is never a quick or easy undertaking. The strength is that we have high confidence in the outcome, but the weakness is that the wheels of justice turn slowly. Always have.
Personally I have high confidence in the DOJ completing their job and determining once and for all if there is sufficient incontrovertible evidence against the seditious scum that attacked out democracy on January 6th to bring charges. They will get it done while Biden is in office for sure. How much Congress can derail the investigation should they take back the House and the Senate in 2022 is a risk. It's ALL at risk at that point.
Even if these seditionists are charged and brought to justice, we have to realize that this will not prevent another coup attempt in 2024 or 2028. The blood is in the water and the fascist sharks are circling.
