AG Garland Speaks About Jan. 6 Investigations

Attorney General Merrick Garland is addressing the Justice Department on Wednesday, providing an update on one of the biggest investigations in the DOJ’s history: the probe into the Capitol insurrection.


This is a companion discussion topic for the original entry at https://talkingpointsmemo.com/?p=1400018

To date, the investigation has led to the arrests of more than 700 people, with federal prosecutors estimating that up to 2,500 participants in the January 6 insurrection could eventually face charges.

Wow, that’s gonna really disappoint a whole TPM cohort…

He doesn’t need to do all that, more earthly task like arresting, Trump , Giuliani, and Ted Cruz would satisfy me.

A year is long in regular time, but a blink in judicial time, especially with multiple moving parts and literally hundreds, if not thousands of participants involved in the coup attempt. So I continue to keep the faith.

I welcome the update and Garland’s reassurance that the DoJ stands ready to do it’s duty.
