THREAD: I’d like to share some facts. That’s all. Just facts.
DoJ opened an IG investigation into Trump’s DoJ’s involvement in the coup on January 25, 2021. 19 days after the insurrection. 1/
In 9/2021, shortly after DoJ got data from Rudy’s seized phones, subpoenas were issued for coup fundraising groups including Sidney Powell’s. At this time, Biden’s DC US Atty pick was being blocked by Ron Johnson - who participated in the fraudulent elector scheme himself. 2/
In 11/2021, Matthew Graves was finally sworn in a U.S. Attorney in DC. Senators Ron Johnson, Mike Lee, Ted Cruz, Tommy Tuberville & Rick Scott told Garland in July they would continue to block his nomination until Garland treated the BLM protestors the same as 1/6 guys. 3/
That same month, November 2021, Thomas Windom - who is now a key member of Jack Smith’s team - was detailed to the USAO DC to continue the already ongoing probe into the top of the coup. 4/
Within months, more subpoenas were issued for info on 1) members of Congress 2) members of the executive branch 3) ellipse rally organizers, speakers, and VIPs (which would include Ginny Thomas) and anyone who tried to obstruct, influence, impede or delay the certification. 5/
A few months later, the 1/6 hearings would begin.
These are just facts. Whatever your opinion is, it continues to be incorrect to say DoJ waited 18 months or even 2 years to begin investigating the coup. That’s all I’m saying. Thanks 🙏 END/
