I Admit My Ignorance about the Internal Workings of the DOJ.

I readily admit that. I have zero actual first-hand information about that. I don't even know anyone who works at the DOJ.

So, I am on a wait and see basis about what is going on there. I just don't know. I did not know, for example, that a grand jury had been empaneled to hear potential charges against Steve Bannon until the indictment of him had been issued. So, any assumption I might have had regarding that would have been incorrect, due to not having enough information to form such a judgement.

I'm very hopeful that the DOJ will also empanel grand juries in cases against Donald John Trump and many other cronies of his, with regard to the January 6 insurrection and other matters. However, I do not know what the current status of such investigations might be, with regard to those individuals. I do know that a House committee is actively taking testimony and will be passing on what they learn to the DOJ. Perhaps the DOJ is waiting for the committee's report. That would make sense, I think.

So, I'm sorry, but I will be unable to make definitive statements about what the DOJ and Merrick Garland are doing or not doing. I cannot make such statements, because I have no information about what is going on in the DOJ. I'd like to know, but I do not.

If someone posting here on Democratic Underground actually has some internally sourced information, however, I would appreciate learning about it, along with information about that person's knowledge of DOJ internal actions. Truly, though, I'm massively uninterested in what anyone who has no more information than I do thinks is going on. Lacking such information, there is no reason to hold any beliefs about DOJ activities, it seems to me.

You finally admitted you are stupid.

A list of the things Rock Head is ignorant of would be longer than the number of Wuhan Red Death casualties in the United States.  Perhaps he should just list the things he isn't ignorant of.  That might fill one sheet of paper, double spaced.

I Admit My Ignorance ...

Should have ended the post here, .

A prosecutor and grand jury could indict the proverbial ham sandwich, but DUpipo's target ham sandwich fights back,   . Maybe DU-grade Proggies should be patient and wait for a modern-Prog version of the Corpse Synod.
