Why the 'investigative sloth' of the DOJ's Jan. 6 inquiry could be a smart play
Why the 'investigative sloth' of the DOJ's Jan. 6 inquiry could be a smart play
By Glenn Kirschner, MSNBC Opinion Columnist
After interviewing more that 1,000 witnesses, the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol announced it will hold public hearings starting this week on its findings beginning next Thursday, June 9. Meanwhile, the Department of Justice, the only federal agency empowered to prosecute those who committed crimes in connection with the insurrection, recently requested the transcripts of the committee’s witness interviews.
This request by the DOJ seems to turn the usual investigative model on its head, as federal prosecutors almost always want first crack at important witnesses who may be needed in future criminal prosecutions. And last week, the DOJ indicted former White House trade adviser Peter Navarro for contempt of Congress. On the other hand, it declined to indict former Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows and his former White House deputy chief of staff for communications Dan Scavino. So, is there a method to this investigative madness?
