Someone said his life experience as an appellate judge has conditioned him to expect vetted evidence to be handed to him. While it may be true, I think this is excuse-making. DOJ has hundreds of prosecutors in their employ.
We may well see some DOJ action after the hearings are done. According to polling, more and more Americans want to see Trump indicted. I expected a substantial number who oppose indictment are simply afraid of the response an indictment would ignite in Trump supporters. The purpose of the Grieten ad seemed to be to radicalize all those "responsible gun owners" who are Trump supporters into becoming active domestic terrorists.
It is my hope that there is some canniness going on. Dems are almost certain to lose the house. As such, the committee goes away next January. That's when the DOJ takes over.
Right now they are playing it smart by not referring the case to the DOJ. It'll look less partisan if the DOJ takes the case up on its own (likely already has) and better when it refuses to take up whatever bullshit republicans try and refer to them.
Or perhaps the timing is such that people like Ron Johnson are getting subpoenaed by DOJ before their election. Might not turn the tide for 2022, but a senator gained is a senator earned, and Ron Jon taking the fifth won't be a good look in a swing state. I'm sure there are other examples. DOJ might be non-partisan, but the committee isn't, and people like Cheney are going to have no qualms burning people like Johnson at the public stake if they can.
If this GOP takes the House and Senate, Biden/Harris will be impeached and possibly jailed by summer and the GOP Speaker will be president (which is probably why they're talking about making Trump the speaker. Dems had better learn to shoot.
Once they have the full power of both gavels, along with their current actual power which is almost total in obstructionism, they will just remove the Democrats. The Democrats don't have the balls to do it to them first -- which is what will be needed in November to Stop the GOP Steal of democracy itself.
Garland has the temperance of someone that would make a great judge. I have yet to see that he has it in him to be a great AG.
Requires killer instinct. He apparently is not aware.

Takes 2/3 in the senate to convict. Republicans are nowhere close to getting that many seats.
You are assuming they will let Democrats remain.
