I would rather this commission shit down than continue to blow smoke without imposing real consequences.  It does more harm than good.  [/quote]

A commission can gather facts and make them public.

The DOJ needs those facts to build a case.

The Commission cannot impose consequences.

The DOJ doesn't want their cases blown.

Exactly what do you expect to happen differently?

(noting, we are all frustrated)[/quote]

The commission isn’t helping then. If DOJ would perhaps even singalong that they give a rats ass, I would be satisfied. As it stands it’s been over a year since the shenanigans began, and they’re still happening. So I don’t know. The perfect is the enemy of the good?

Meanwhile we’re losing Roe and my state is red. And we can’t pass BBB. This insurrection is the albatross.  Just start moving on something.[/quote]

Counterpoint...700+ people have been arrested/indicted for the insurrection. They are working up the food chain, and as we know, DOJ does not publicly acknowledge their actions. If you follow the cases closely, you know how they are proceeding.[/quote]

Exactly the freaking problem. The public doesn’t care about these low level cases and doesn’t want to follow closely. They want big public consequences for big public people. Someone big enough that people know their name, soon.  Before it’s too damn late and it looks purely political.[/quote]

Getting the big people would look political. Getting hundreds of participants looks like people being held accountable for invading the Capital.

I don't know if Trump will ever go to jail - please, Santa, it's all I want - but I would say it's not true there's been no consequences for participants. If Steve Bannon had been among those smashing windows on Jan 6 I'm sure he'd be in jail for that too. It's harder - and more politically complicated - to go after the bigger fish who weren't actually there on the ground.[/quote]
