Turns out the DOJ’s Trump probe is way ahead of where anyone thought it was
Multiple major news outlets reported today that on Friday, the DOJ had multiple members of Mike Pence’s vice presidential senior staff testify to the grand jury about Donald Trump’s fake elector scandal. This news isn’t shocking; it’s a logical next step after the DOJ carried out seizure warrants against Trump’s top co-conspirators in that scandal.
But it does serve as the latest reminder that we don’t know what all the DOJ is doing behind the scenes, and that each time news does surface about what’s going on, it turns out the DOJ is way ahead of where anyone in the media or pundit class had been claiming it was.
Put another way: if I had said to you yesterday, what are the odds that the DOJ has already had Mike Pence’s senior staff testify to the grand jury, even the most optimistic among you would have said close to zero. And yet here it is. The media has conditioned you to believe that the DOJ is way behind where it actually is. Keep this in mind the next time the media tries to convince you that the DOJ is doing “nothing.”
