As Jan. 6 probe expands, officials worry DOJ resources are at a breaking point
NBC News / Comcast ^ | July 29, 2022 | By Ryan J. Reilly (D-NBC)

WASHINGTON — It's the "most wide-ranging investigation" in Justice Department history: the unprecedented manhunt for hundreds of rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol on Donald Trump's behalf on Jan. 6, 2021, and the criminal inquiry into efforts to stop the peaceful transfer of power.

It's also a logistical nightmare.

As cases against Capitol rioters work their way through the court system and a federal grand jury hears testimony about Trump’s role in Jan. 6, some federal officials are raising concerns that it could bring the already stretched investigation of Jan. 6 to a breaking point.

The Justice Department has asked for help. Its 2023 budget request asks Congress for more than $34 million to fund 130 employees, including 80 federal prosecutors, to aid the "extraordinary," "unprecedented" and "complex" investigation.

Former U.S. Attorney Joyce Vance, an MSNBC legal analyst, said: "People are concerned about the resources. It's an enormous amount of cases, and that puts pressure not just on DOJ, but on the courts and probation. It puts pressure on the entire system."

One reason for hope, sources say, is that a new batch of "term AUSAs," or assistant U.S. attorneys hired on a temporary basis, will soon join the Capitol Siege Section, providing much-needed relief that could help manage the existing docket and speed up new cases. It's just a bonus that the two-year positions appeal to young lawyers who may already be very familiar with the technology and social media platforms that have played huge roles in the Jan. 6 probe, an official said.

It’s so hard to bring charges of trespassing and parading to court. Expensive too. Really really expensive.

Maybe they should let ‘em go like Dems do to the Antifa pukes.

Maybe they can spare some of Hunter sand Ashley’s Cleanup crew.

They always have enough people to conduct Raids on anyone connected to Trump.

”In your face” is our communist masters' favorite tool to rattle the chains-of-tyranny that they have wrapped around our necks...

No Big Deal!
Our communist masters know that the pathetically servile Aamerican sheeple will just continue to roll over and spread their collective cheeks...

Bow down!... Obey!... Snitch!...

It’s the “most wide-ranging investigation” in Justice Department history

It’s the “biggest tax-wasting investigation” in Justice Department history

Dems: Close those child protective services shelters and kick some of the old widows off benefits. And put a new tax on Republicans.

My goodness whatever will they do? Nothing about the border or illegals or the cartels or human smuggling.

Nothing about children being trafficked and nothing about those being assaulted mentally by every sexual deviant in society.

Nothing about anything other than going after their political enemies, much like the Soviets or the Maoists or Pol Pot or any other despot’s minions.

We don’t have a justice department nor do we have an investigation bureau. We have the lowest form of lackies and hacks running what was the government of the USA.

What are the 21 FBI agents that investigated a loop of rope on a garage door at NASCAR doing now ? They could help out.

The DOJ should be apologizing for the next fifty years for the fraudulent Muller scam.

It takes lots of effort to fabricate charges against innocent people.
Back in the day, they just executed them.
