@VACCINATE or ICU later 🐊alligator Criminal cases could come in the future. I expect it to happen in Georgia. Michigan Attorney General (and maybe other state AGs) referred her state‘s investigation into fake Republican electors to the Dept Of Justice, saying if prosecution is called for, it should be done by the DOJ, not the state.

I just read the NYT article. I wouldn’t get worked up over it. The Republican pundits who use that NYT framing to belittle the Jan 6 hearings are speaking to people who already think the upcoming hearings are a joke. In my mind, the purpose of the upcoming public hearings is to prepare people for what’s coming after that: criminal prosecution of Trump and associates in Georgia or Washington DC. Republicans won’t watch the hearings but they’ll find out about the highlights (lowlights) at some point from their preferred media outlets even if those outlets keep trying to minimize everything. Hopefully that will lessen the surprise and shock when Trump and others get indicted. At least a little. We’ll need all the help we can get because a lot of MAGA types could get a lot more angry and unstable than they already are.

Excellent post and comments. May I also suggest taking a look at something I posted this morning. Taken together, I think we’ve got the subject covered as well as anything out there: https://www.sorryantivaxxer.com/forum/general-discussion/2020-election-interference-in-four-parts-as-of-6-8-22

@LinnieMae True. And the GA Repubs in office will have the political cover to do it because 1) they will be under airtight subpoenas which will compel them to testify, no ifs ands or buts; and 2) the 2022 primary election is already over (Raff, Kemp and Carr won) and the 2022 general election will probably be over by the time the trial starts so the Repubs in office who will be called to testify won’t have to worry about their testimony hurting their election chances in this election cycle. Other key GA Republicans who will be testifying are either out of office (U.S. Atty. BJay Pak resigned before Trump could fire him) or leaving office soon (Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan isn’t running for re-election because he can’t stomach any more MAGA crap from fellow Republicans) so they won’t feel any heat.
