WASHINGTON — From outside the walls of the Justice Department, the sprawling investigation into efforts to reverse the outcome of the 2020 election seems only to be accelerating, with prosecutors last week subpoenaing about 40 associates of former President Donald Trump and seizing phones from at least two of his aides.
But that flurry of activity should not be mistaken for a signal that Trump will imminently be prosecuted.
The notes of caution appear to reflect the complexity of the investigation, the methodical pace at which the Justice Department conducts its work and the politically explosive nature of an inquiry involving a former president and likely presidential candidate.
They also stand in contrast to signals emanating from the narrower investigation into Trump’s handling of government records and sensitive intelligence information, including possible obstruction charges.
That is not to say that prosecutors are not nearing Trump’s inner circle. They have charged several people with seditious conspiracy, including members of a far-right extremist group that provided security for Trump associates on the day of the Jan. 6 rally. They are scrutinizing Jeffrey Clark, a Justice Department official, for his efforts to help Trump promote the lie that the election had been riddled with fraud, and John Eastman, a lawyer who was one of the biggest proponents of the plan to put forth slates of Trump electors from swing states won by Biden.
But as of now, the subpoenas issued in the Jan. 6 investigation appear not to cite crimes that might have arisen from the push to change the election’s outcome or to identify Trump — who has repeatedly cast the inquiry as politically motivated and without merit — as a possible defendant.

All that this hoopla is doing is proving to anyone with a brain that those conducting the investigation are simply harassing the innocent....
Impeach Merrick Garland!!!!
They’re just passing these out now...almost to years later?? I hope they all take the fifth...
Translation: we got nothing.
Is there a master list of those who were subpoenaed?
Do NOT install apps!!!
Have photos backed up, NOT in the cloud!
Absolutely nothing is known of Katie Benner outside of the fact that she works for the New York Times, has or had a mother and father, has a husband. No age. Ethnically, she appears to be Asian American. She spent some time in China and was published in a Communist Party outlet. She appears to have done everything in her power to keep her background a secret. Why?
“They have charged several people with seditious conspiracy”
What do you call the actions of the DOJ/FBI?
No one who does this much desperate “digging” has a case.
Well played sir!
Inner Circle? Some “far-right extremist group that provided security for Trump Assoc???? Hardly inner circle!
“That is not to say that prosecutors are not nearing Trump’s inner circle.
They have charged several people with seditious conspiracy, including members of a far-right extremist group that provided security for Trump associates on the day of the Jan. 6 rally”
Y'mean like when they raided Mar-a-Lago?
Or took the MyPillow Guy's phone?
That "methodical"?
She was BORN in China, not just spent time there.
She’s a typical hard line, dogmatic Maoist Chinese woman which if you live in the Bay Area you find there’s hardly any other kind.
Has Ray Epps been subpeoned? He was the organizer on Jan 6 with the megaphone instruction people to storm the Capitol Building. Several vid of him in action.
Brace yourselves for the October Surprise from the DOJ....multiple GOP candidates indicted/arrested for sedition including Trump himself.
The media narrative will be: The majority of the GOP is guilty of sedition and ineligible to run for office.
By the time this reaches the SCOTUS, it will be 2025.
They are scrutinizing Jeffrey Clark, a Justice Department official, for his efforts to help Trump promote the lie that the election had been riddled with fraud...

I’d like to see the statute where a belief in something, right or wrong, is a criminal offense.
