I think you have to take it one step at a time. 1. Will the Jan 6th committee send to the DOJ a recommendation of indictment in a report laying out their findings. 2. Will the DOJ take it to a Grand Jury 3. Will the Grand Jury indict? #wakeup #WakeUpAmerica

Breaking it down in this manner can give someone a reasonable idea of what to expect. Considering the makeup of the Jan 6th committee and the leaks it seems likely a referral for prosecution will be made. The DOJ's actions make it clear that they will seek an indictment.

The way they are handling the Jan 6 prisoners, the rather dangerous extension of domestic terrorism definitions to include in some instances parents, make it more likely than not they will proceed that way.

The Grand Jury made of virtually 100% Democrats in a highly partisan DC environment will indict. That is the surest of the three. When they say a prosecutor can indict a ham sandwich, its true:)

Now, the fact that the Southern District of NY, has walked back its actions against Trump suggests perhaps that some kind of deal is in the works. Or perhaps it suggests they are clearing the road for what is to come out of the Jan 6th findings.

One thing is certain, it is no slam dunk, to think Trump will escape an indictment. When? As with anything they will coordinate it to have the most impact politically. Now, of course, this may not occur. An indictment would open up Pandora's box. I view it as a tossup:) #wakeup
