Thing is, DOJ doesn't need a criminal referral to act. They can act independently of the commission. Hence, I think, the decision not to do criminal referrals - makes the commission less explicitly a criminal prosecution, just laying out the predicates for a criminal prosecution. If DOJ doesn't do anything after that, that's on Merrick Garland.

If the DOJ isn't already pursuing this that's on Merrick Garland's head. It's getting to be too late to just start up a criminal investigation into Trump.
2016 was the first election I felt was the most important of our lives. Voters did not come through n the numbers needed. So subsequent elections have and will continue to be the most important in our lives until Trumpism is thoroughly eradicated.
Agreed and agreed, but would add that it also was true in 2020. If trump and trumpism had faded away - maybe. But it didn't - it metastasized and is even worse now because 90+% of an entire party has hopped upon the crazy train. Even if they think trump is mentally deficient, morally lacking, unfit for office, corrupt, and a danger to our country, they all say they would vote for him again if he was the Repubican nominee....

November elections will decide the question of whether or not investigations will continue.
On some forum I read a comment about the exhaustion of every election being тАШthe most important of our livesтАЩ. Man, do I feel that!
Same.
Except now that might actually be true.
