what the hell took the Justice Dept so long??
"The Justice Department has asked the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack for transcripts of interviews it is conducting, which have included discussions with associates of former President Donald J. Trump, according to people with knowledge of the situation."

@DJNoneYa I'm honestly just delighted to hear that maybe they have been working on it all this time.
@ScionAltera you'd think they would have already asked for those transcripts
@DJNoneYa I would, yeah. I would have expected them to ask the committee at the beginning to share everything with them in real time as it was produced, rather than waiting for it to accumulate "enough". The only thing I can think of is they knew it would be public information and didn't want to leak anything that could be interpreted as a kind of signal to those under investigation. If I had testified to the committee I'd be shaking in my boots right now.
@ScionAltera supposidily asked for them 4/23 .... and what they asking again? This whole thing is looking like the typical Washington Cluster ***
@DJNoneYa Probably. 🤷♂️ As I've said all along, I don't think anything meaningful is happening. I think it's all smoke and mirrors to keep us just the "right amount" of upset. But I would absolutely love to be wrong about that. I've never wanted to be wrong about something so much in my entire life.
