This, exactly.
I’m surprised at how few people grasp how important the January 6th Committee was to educating the public about the investigation/prosecutions that are solely within the purview of the DOJ. DOJ learned from the Mueller investigation how important it is to keep the public apprised of the facts – but they can’t provide that function. The Committee could.
The Committee’s job was to bring the public along to understand why a former president will be indicted. They did their job. It’s gratifying to see how many people now are impatient for the DOJ to get on with their prosecutions.
Similarly, people seem to think all the testimony offered at the January 6th proceedings is admissible in a court of law. It’s not. Think Cassidy Hutchison’s testimony about Trump’s actions in the vehicle is admissible? It’s not. Every word of that was hearsay.
I’m not worried about DOJ bringing indictments. They will, and when they do, their cases will be rock solid. I’m more confident than ever that Mark Meadows and Dan Scavino have flipped. DOJ has 2 grand juries presently convened and active: One for January 6th matters, the other for Mar-a-Lago documents. No reason to go through all that if the decision is to decline to bring charges.
My only question is whether they’re going to give Trump and others one last holiday with the family. (I hope not, but probably.)
