In reply to the discussion: Justice Dept. Requests Transcripts From Jan. 6 Committee [View all]Bev54
(10,140 posts)39. Do you honestly think they are going to rush an investigation and indictment
of the highest politicians in the country without being sure they have an air tight case? This case is absolutely historical in the amount of people involved and the level of people involved. I do not understand those who think they should just "arrest him and throw them in jail" attitude, it is not a logical or serious opinion. No prosecutor will want to take this into a court room without knowing they will win and that means a lot of work which takes time. I do hope the congressmen who have been subpoenaed and those who are anticipating one, are having a great deal of anxiety today.

I hear you. But my take is that Thompson's tweet doesn't cover the spirit of the DOJ request,

Thanks. Probably some supplemental gets passed, but money to the DOJ from Senate rethugs?
