"Irritation" at the pace of the DOJ probe to the January 6 riots

• In a recent Sirius XM interview, Ruskin said he was “unbearable” at the pace of the DOJ’s January 6 investigation.
• “We don’t have much time … at the end of this meeting, we’re done,” he told host Joe Madison.
• Attorney General Merrick Garland last week described the broad scope of the Justice Department’s investigation.

On Friday, Congressman Jamie Raskin said he “couldn’t stand” the pace of the Justice Department’s Capitol riot investigation.

In an interview with Sirius XM Radio host Joe Madison, Democrats Maryland and members of the January 6 committee will potentially recover Republicans who overwhelmingly opposed the creation of the committee. After a possible midterm election, he said the panel’s future was questionable. The majority of the lower chamber.

Many Democrats were cautious about getting the Justice Department to carry out their duties, noting that US Attorney General Merrick Garland was deeply involved in a fair investigation. However, former President Donald Trump is ready to announce the 2024 presidential campaign within the next few months, which clearly adds a political element to the investigation.

“Obviously I’m impatient,” Ruskin said of the pace of the Justice Department’s investigation. “We’re done at the end of this meeting, so we certainly don’t have much time in Congress to do our job.”

Prior to the 2024 presidential election, the House of Representatives said the panel was “rushing to the United States” because its members “must deal with those who attack the constitutional order.”

“We’re still before the 2022 election, so I’d like to see the move there, but beyond that, Merrick Garland is my member and I can’t beat him. I don’t want to say too much, “he added.

Garland said in a press conference last week that the ministry’s coverage is extensive and will strive to maintain its “integrity.”

“We have to do this right, and for those who are concerned about protecting democracy, as all Americans think it should be, we are 2 We have to do one thing: it must be done in a sincere and professional way, which is a legitimate election and the way the Department of Justice conducts investigations. “

“We need both of these to achieve justice and protect our democracy,” he added.

Earlier this month, Wyoming Republican Liz Cheney, vice chairman of the Commission on January 6, said the panel could make multiple criminal referrals, including one against Trump.

“Ultimately, the Justice Department will decide that,” she said at the time. “Knowing that the mob is armed, sending a mob to attack the Capitol, and when his own Vice President is under threat, that is, when Congress is under threat. Think in terms of inciting the mob. It’s very cold. “

Criminal referrals by the Panel have no specific legal effect, but will allow Congress to notify the Department of Justice of possible criminal activity.
