I question the timing.
If Trumpworld and conservative world and Republican world legitimately were deserving of carpet bombed subpoenas regarding January 6, it would have been done a year ago, not now in the runup to the 2022 midterms. It’s reminiscent of the 2013-2014 prosecutorial attempt to freeze the Wisconsin conservative movement.
So says William Jacobson at Legal Insurrection [1]. He also provides copious amounts of documentation. You should go and read the whole thing.
It’s more than just Wisconsin, of course. And here’s the meat of it:
Assume, for the sake of argument only, that such subpoenas were proper and necessary to investigate alleged crimes associated with the January 6, 2021, Capitol Hill riot. That’s a big assumption, but it proves the point, which is why now, some 18 months later?
If these subpoenas were so necessary to the investigation, why did DOJ/FBI wait a year and half until we are in the thick of the runup to the midterms?
You know why.
This is the kind of corruption that we’ve been complaining about all along. It’s the kind of corruption that makes governance in third world countries look sane.
