    Pretty sure he’s not hoping this brings Trump down based on his posting history.

    Sometimes a fishing expedition is successful because the fisherman knows where to fish for the big fish and happens to catch one. There is a reason why a really good fisherman has a record of success.

    This investigation doesn't involve congress which is never an impartial jury. This is a criminal investigation by the DOJ for multiple serious crimes for which there is damning physical evidence. Trump has already screwed up his defense with his ridiculous deflections and denials which he can't repeat in court without committing perjury.

    Food for thought:

    Several members of this new, slim House majority were in on the insurrection planning meetings. Garland waited until after the election results were known before appointing the SC.

    Yes, that is an intriguing aspect. Have read it may be as many as 40.

    The DOJ generally has a rule not to interfere in elections (even though Comey ignored it in 2016), so that may explain the timing.
