As I noted on the failing bird, Garland's cited recent developments, plural, in appointing a Special Counsel yesterday.

The more urgent development is probably the GOP majority in Congress, not Trump.

We know, eg, that Scott Perry is almost certainly a subject of the investigation (they already seized his phone). If Jim Jordan is, too, that by itself would require the SCO, since Jordan will be HJC Chair demanding info on investigation.

@emptywheel honestly wondered if we would ever see action on the multiple congress people who are guilty af of aiding and abetting. Not just JJ. We know MTG, Hawley, LB… multiple guilty people. My hope is that we are absolutely getting the SCO to get ALL of them. I still don’t understand how on earth MTG and LB got to run again. Sigh.

@LadyOzma It's REALLY hard to pass the Speech and Debate bar. And most of what we KNOW people did could fall within protected activities.

@emptywheel idk seems like running around the country and telling people the election was stolen and this was a civil war and then trying to help the speaker of the house be assassinated and then requesting a pardon would be pretty obvious but 🤷🏻‍♀️
