We have suspected and hoped that this is the case, yet it is still nice to see it in print.
“The Justice Department is investigating President Donald Trump’s actions as part of its criminal probe of efforts to overturn the 2020 election results, according to four people familiar with the matter.
Prosecutors who are questioning witnesses before a grand jury — including two top aides to Vice President Mike Pence — have asked in recent days about conversations with Trump, his lawyers, and others in his inner circle who sought to substitute Trump allies for certified electors from some states Joe Biden won, according to two people familiar with the matter. Both spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation.“
The article also answered questions about why the investigation is proceeding at a snail’s pace.
“In trying to understand how and why Trump partisans and lawyers sought to change the outcome of the election, one person familiar with the probe said, investigators also want to understand, at a minimum, what Trump told his lawyers and senior officials to do. Any investigation surrounding the effort to undo the results of the election must navigate complex issues of First Amendment-protected political activity and when or whether a person’s speech could become part of an alleged conspiracy in support of a coup.“
The inquiries into whether Trump committed crimes seem to be targeted into two areas:
“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.“
Of course, Donald Trump have spent much of his adult life avoiding responsibility for his actions and it is not yet time to break out the champagne.
But reading this in the post has me thinking about what label to buy…

About time. Lock him up!!!
I’d say “it’s about fucking time” but I’m not going to believe anything is happening to former guy until formal charges are levied against him in a court of law. Anything else is not worth the space it takes up in whatever form of media it occupies. When he’s in front of a judge whining his worthless ass off trying, yet again, to run from the consequences of his actions, then I’ll believe it.
P.S. I do love the knock-knock joke tho’. lmao
Still, it’s nice that this leaked. It will be fun to see Don Cornholeone whine about it at his bund meets/rallies.
Veuve Cliquot, women can do anything, (check the history).
Indeed. I will take that under consideration.
