But that’s the thing — we don’t know that they aren’t doing their job. The DOJ by necessity rarely telegraphs what they are doing only sharing when there is something to share. It’s very frustrating and unsatisfying to those on the outside that want action yesterday.
I agree! Unfortunately there’s a long precedent of not indicting unless a victory is all but guaranteed. Great for conviction rates, not so great for those of us who want to see action and consequences. Things are complicated by the kind of uncharted territory here with clear illegalities but with the lack of precedent for indicting a sitting congressperson or former President.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m agreeing with you here much more than I’m disagreeing. I’m no fan of Merrick Garland and I’m sick of the seemingly glacial process here. I’d love to see decisive and radical action here the Dems in power, but to me it’s all just a pipe dream.
