It is difficult to stop clapping, smiling and wishing that the big news announced this week will produce justice for those of us worried about the impact of the 1/6 insurrection.
But, dang! Here comes news that the Department of Justice has been conducting an active investigation into possible criminal activity by the immediate past president of the United States, the purveyor of The Big Lie, the guy who wanted to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election … which he lost!
Attorney General Merrick Garland has spelled out in terms that even I can understand that “no one is above the law,” and that DOJ is going to pursue anyone who was criminally culpable in the peaceful transition of power of one presidential administration to another.
Wow! Do you think, therefore, that the AG has his sights set on Donald J. Trump?
Looks like it to me.
However, my inclination tells me to hold off on the celebration that there might be a way after all to keep that charlatan away from the Oval Office.
The former Idiot in Chief was impeached twice. He got away both times because not enough Senate Republicans had the courage to convict him of either soliciting a political favor from a foreign power or inciting the 1/6 attack on the Capitol.
And all that yammering about the House select committee marching far ahead of DOJ in the hunt for the truth behind the insurrection? It now appears that Justice Department sleuths were doing their job all along, only in private.
From my vantage point it appears that the walls are continuing to close in on Trump. May they close to the point of making history with an indictment of the most crooked and venal individual ever to win election to the nation’s highest office.
Stay on the hunt, Mr. Attorney General.
