How about the DOJ take action against Trump and company for the insurrection?

[lothariospann]

The justice department can go after rich people in others country but you don't go after hate group in our own country.

[hanserikkratholmrasmussen]

Oh someone woke Garland from his sleep. Perhaps this someone would be kind enough to tell him about the jan. 6 insurrection?

[BJ]

DOJ needs to prosecute those in it's own country for crimes committed!!!

[dronetek]

So the DOJ IS capable of moving swiftly.... NOW it's even more of a question of why it hasn't been, when it could be .

[HYTELES]

Have a feeling there's going to be a long list of Russian names on America's most wanted and Interpol fugitives list really soon!

[Gary-ytee]

It would be nice if Merrick Garland went after Donald Trump with the same enthusiasm it is showing in this matter

[mypillowguy]

Trump's favorite rapper is 50 Cent, or as Putin calls him, 8 million Rubles.

[vango]

Wow! That is really great news for sure! When can we expect the DOJ to give us an update on the progress of Task Force Trumpocapture and Task Force

[sueferguson]

Hey about moving just as fast on the Putin loving Trump??
Let's take of our country! The majority of us, " can walk & chew gum at the same

[frisco]

Now, if we could only get DOJ to launch a Task Force against Putin's former puppet in the U.S. Government, Donald Trump. Not holding my breath, however.

Russian Oligarchs. Does that include Trump as well?

[sophiasummers]

I appreciate this, but can we please have the DOJ prosecute the Jan 6 organizers who did it in plain site of the American people.

[havenbirb]

Or they can just press federal charges for Financially Aiding and Abetting a Foreign Entity under Sanctioned Terms.

[lesterjones]

Wish the doj would have moved as quickly with trump ijs

[xrotor]

Great but WHERE is the Presidential Criminal Enterprise Investigation for the Trump family and associates?

[davidturbitt]

Western governments need to seize (not just freeze) ALL the western based assets of the sanctioned oligarchs. Next, apply a 2% per day "tax" on the initial value of those assets for each day Russian troops remain on Ukraine soil. All monies generated this way should immediately flow to the Ukrainian government to be used for fighting the war and rebuilding after the war.

[GPLP]

Good work DOJ, now put together a task force to prosecute trump and his cohort who tried to over through our government.

[vuduball]

They should investigate Tucker Carlson"s financial situation. He acts like a paid Russian operative.

[peterplouf]

Don't forget TRUMP! Who "gets most of our cash from Russia" to quote his kid.
