Going after Trump with a Grand Jury will not set well with the Trumpettes.. Some are blowing it off as the Democrats last ditch effort to distract from a rout coming up in the fall election. Not so fast. The D.C. citizens who are the “pool” of individuals who are chosen for juries so far in GOP related trials have not faired well at all.
Now we are talking a Grand Jury. As the saying goes, one can indict a ham sandwich. Add to the folly, AG Merrick Garland must have an angst up his butt that he is not sitting on the Supreme Court. Liz Cheney and her band of merry makers are beating the drum along with her fellow comrade Schiff to tackle Supreme Thomas’s wife. Schiff admitting the purpose is to get Clarence Thomas.
This will not end well. Not at all. If the J6 Committee and Garland want a civil war, this is the way to set out the gun powder.
This won’t age well…
According to the Washington Post, the DOJ is now putting witnesses in front of a grand jury to solicit evidence to support a “seditious conspiracy” charge against President Trump for attempting to overthrow the United States government and Joe Biden.
WaPo – […] There are two principal tracks of the investigation that could ultimately lead to additional scrutiny of Trump, two people familiar with the situation said, also speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation.
The first centers on seditious conspiracy and conspiracy to obstruct a government proceeding, the type of charges already filed against individuals who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6 and on two leaders of far-right groups, Stewart Rhodes and Henry “Enrique” Tarrio, who did not breach the Capitol but were allegedly involved in planning the day’s events.
The second involves potential fraud associated with the false-electors scheme or with pressure Trump and his allies allegedly put on the Justice Department and others to falsely claim that the election was rigged and votes were fraudulently cast.
Recent subpoenas obtained by The Post show that two Arizona state legislators were ordered to turn over communications with “any member, employee, or agent of Donald J. Trump or any organization advocating in favor of the 2020 re-election of Donald J. Trump, including ‘Donald J. Trump for President, Inc.’ ”
No former president has ever been charged with a crime in the country’s history. In cases when investigators found evidence suggesting a president engaged in criminal conduct, as with Richard M. Nixon and Bill Clinton, investigators and successive administrations concluded it was better to grant immunity or forgo prosecution. One goal was to avoid appearing to use government power to punish political enemies and assure the tradition of a peaceful transfer of power. (read more)

Then we have Jonathan Turley on “Overreach.”
Fox News contributor and constitutional law attorney Jonathan Turley criticized the January 6 committee’s “incredible overreach” in their push to question Ginni Thomas, wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. On “America Reports” Tuesday, Turley called threats to subpoena Thomas an attempt to learn more about her husband’s dissenting opinion in a Supreme Court decision on the investigation.
January 6 committee setting sights on Justice Thomas’ wife an ‘incredible overreach’: Turley
House select committee threatening to subpoena Ginni Thomas over connection to January 6 riot
JONATHAN TURLEY: It’s not much speculation. Schiff said that on the program this weekend and said that he wanted to know what Justice Thomas knew about these messages from his wife and whether they impacted his decision. This is a case of incredible overreach by the committee. The fact that the vice chair would join Schiff in saying that this is a possibility really does raise chilling issues that Congress needs to look at. Now, this would be unprecedented. They would be asking the spouse of a justice about her communications with her husband. And it’s important to remember that it appears these messages had already been turned over by Mark Meadows before that opinion ever came out. And so the question is why? Why this overreach? And Schiff seemed to answer that and said that it’s really about her husband.
