Legal expert explains how judge provided ‘roadmap’ for prosecuting Trump for Jan. 6
“Up until now we had no public sign that the Department of Justice was, in fact, investigating former President Trump, and this really is the first strong indication that they have in their crosshairs, in a certain sense, Trump and his activities that they would be, in fact, asking these lower level individuals, foot soldiers and the like, whether or not they would commit in writing and in plea agreements to seeing that they were there at the behest of Trump or because they thought the president wanted them there,” Goodman said. “That’s very significant. It shows that they’re really thinking about him, in particular.”
The New York University Law School professor said that development appeared to converge with a theory pursued by the House select committee, which is investigating whether Trump wanted his supporters to block the certification and pressure Pence to undo his election loss.
A legal expert revealed how prosecutors have signaled that former president Donald Trump has landed in the “crosshairs” of their investigation.
The New York Times reported that federal prosecutors have recently begun asking defense attorneys for some Jan. 6 rioters whether their clients would admit in sworn statements that they charged into the U.S. Capitol to stop then-vice president Mike Pence from certifying President Joe Biden’s election win, and law professor Ryan Goodman on Tuesday explained to CNN’s John Berman the significance of those request.

He would have been a lousy SCOTUS judge also. He voted with Gorsuch more than 90% of the time when they were on the bench together. Another DINO like Clinton, Obama and Biden.
He’s going to take too long. The 2022 election will be here. If the Republicans gain power in the house and Senate. They are not going to play so nice!!

The wheels of justice grind slowly, or not at all. Progressives can depend on little or no help from the Justice Dept.
As intended, our fate is in the people’s hands.
Vote in every election. Help register friends & family. Carpool to the polls. Volunteer even. The country you save will be your own.

Push the sword up from under its belly (like Sigurd Fafnersbane – Siegfried in northern germanic mythology) and fry its heart.

Feckless is a good description of Garland. It appears he and his department don’t know what a day’s work is.

I think Trump will die before he is ever prosecuted, but I sincerely hope I am wrong.

Liberals hated Bill Barr precisely because he carried water for Donald Trump. So now we should have the Democratic version?
