Donald John Trump is a former US President….
He is rich….
He and his lawyer have managed to come out on top thru the Mueller Report and TWO not ONE impeachment change cases….
The Politics of having a former President doin a ‘perp’ walk, huh??
So?
One would think a year + out?
Attorney General Garland is gonna let the House Select Committee take the lead on any possible criminal charge of trying to steal electoral votes or help over 700 people put the member of congress in danger…
The Justice Dept. will be lawyer going after Trump if the House votes charges…
But?
That is on a time table….
Midterm elections are in November…
If, and they ARE expected to, Republicans end up with a House majority ?
There will be no charges going into next year….
Donald Trump’s worries should;d be with the DA in Fulton , County , Georgia….
His lawyer are already down there …
His other worry might be the Manhattan DA,….
But?
After all this time…
Bragg, the DA in Manhattan is in trouble in the media for looking to go easy the cops arrested in Boro….
In the end?
He’ll probably have to settle some civil stuff with the New York Attorney General
And Trump AGAIN…..
Look’s down everyone else who dances with him and ends in jail…
Trump has always been one way….
FOR HIM…..
Critical to any investigation would be gleaning Trump’s intentions, analysts said. Did his failure to immediately and forcefully tell rioters to stand down once they attacked police and breached the Capitol indicate that he meant his words to spark violence?
Did he already know he had lost when he pressured Vice President Mike Pence to reject electoral votes on the House floor or when he urged Georgia’s secretary of state to find Trump votes?
“The key in pretty much all these crimes would be proving corrupt intent, because Trump is going to come in and say, when he was pressuring Pence, ‘I was told by my advisers that he had this legal authority, and I was just repeating that.’ And that could be difficult to overcome,” former federal prosecutor Randall Eliason said.
Many of those whose conduct might be at issue in a Trump-focused probe said they had yet to be contacted by federal prosecutors. Some seemed skeptical there was cause to do so.
A person directly involved in planning the rally, for example, said they had received no FBI or Justice Department requests, despite having spent six hours taking questions about the matter before the House committee that is separately investigating the riot. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity to protect their privacy.
A Pence aide said the former vice president’s office had received no FBI or Justice Department outreach. At least 11 former campaign and White House aides — including seven who have been in touch with the Jan. 6 House committee — said they had received no inquiries from the Department of Justice….

That the Justice Department has yet to turn its attention directly to Trump and his close allies does not mean it never will, and analysts note that much could be happening in secret. Investigators could seek communication records of those at the Willard hotel from phone or email providers, for example, in such a way that those whose records are at issue never found out.
Eliason said prosecutors also might have good reason for waiting to seek interviews with high-profile, politically connected officials. “If you just go in and talk to them cold in the first month of the investigation, they’re not going to tell you anything,” he said.
The department, though, has faced pressure to do more, including the possibility of criminal referrals from the House committee.
Last month, Tribe and two former federal prosecutors wrote a New York Times opinion piece saying Garland’s “place in history” would be determined by his handling of the Jan. 6 investigation….
Note…
The above linked piece is meant to read by the Attorney General and Biden White House people …..
Garland isn’t gonna worry about it…..

I’ve commented on this before.
There is very little chance of Trump being criminally prosecuted in any of these matters.Even if he was, the odds are there would be no conviction.
I agree….
But they will take some of him money civilly like they have already….
He SCHOLD worry about the Fulton City, Ga DA who I think would have the strongest actual criminal case…
He doesn’t have to go to jail…..
Coping a plea might be enough to derail another run ….
People may not like it….
But Garland has to worry about the Office of the President as an American Institution….
We’ll see ….
Hey Jack?
More Bull Shit designed to throw AG Garland under the bus……
Senate Democrats believe there is a good chance the Department of Justice will prosecute former President Trump for trying to overturn the results of the 2020 election and inciting the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, which would have major political reverberations ahead of the 2024 presidential election. …
More…
Look to Georgia….
THAT IS where things will be…..
Another reminder for AG Garland of what he COULD do , but won’t, as Donald Trump just keeps skipping the rules, laws, norm’s and about everything else…..
Clock Ticking on Trump’s Obstruction of Justice
The five-year deadline is closing in to charge Donald Trump with the obstruction of justice crimes detailed by special counsel Robert Mueller, Insider reports.
“In his more than 400-page final report, Mueller’s special counsel team documented 10 episodes of possible obstruction of justice by Trump. Among them were Trump’s efforts in early 2017 to pressure then-FBI Director James Comey to close an investigation into Michael Flynn, who at the time was national security advisor. Trump later fired Comey, setting in motion the events that led to Mueller’s appointment as the special counsel in charge of the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.”
