| >Hate to say it but I don’t think the DoJ is gonna act on this, especially not while they’re currently investigating Trump for other malfeasance. This is one of the areas the DoJ has already been investigating, and which has been included in the Special Counsel’s mandate, to wit, “the ongoing investigation into whether any person or entity violated the law in connection with efforts to interfere with the lawful transfer ofpower following the 2020 presidential election or the certification ofthe Electoral College vote held on or about January 6, 2021.” [0] > This committee is pretty partisan - 7 D, 2 R. This committee is “pretty partisan” because the Republican Party chose to boycott the committee over the rejection of certain members (largely because they were expected to be subjects of the investigation.) > You’d be setting off a real firestorm to indict top political leadership (not just Trump but McCarthy & Jordan as well) based on this report. Indicting top political leadership will set off a firestorm in any case; the only thing worse is sending the message that political sensitivity of such indictments means that top political leadership are free to ignore the law (in fact, one can argue that one of the key reasons for a series of post-Watergate executive abuses culminating in Jan. 6 is exactly that message stemming from Ford’s pardon of Nixon, and the failure to prosecute top officials, though some underlings were prosecuted, in each of the series of subsequent abuses.)
