Know your candidates, people. Do your homework. Our votes matter!! Keep the CRAP out of our government!!

[moniqueengleman]

Geezus.... How long must We The People wait for Justice ⚖️

[joejohnson]

I am an old man that hs lived through some of the best and worst times this country has ever seen up till now. This current third world politics makes me sick beyond imagination

[jamesdelb]

When will they stop looking at all these things and start doing something about them?

[pictureme]

"I just want to find 11, 780 votes". Justice Delayed Is Justice Denied.

[lillyfitzgerald]

Well, in heaven's name, someone in America from Justice needs to take 'action' in order to get some accountability going for those in Office from ex-President to Congress, those who should be disqualified from Office for aiding and abetting the insurrection on Jan 6

[sydney]

Lock them America 🇺🇸 wants them all locked away .

The justice department not only needs to indict trump. They need to indict everyone of his enablers at the same time. Let's go Garland! Put these treasonous people behind bars.

[sharkulashairstylist]

The crime spree has gone on too long, Justice now!

[LexoG]

I hope the events in Brazil on Sunday have helped the DOJ see how urgent it is that Trump be held accountable for his attack on democracy.

[chashue]

I'm starting to get the feeling that Merrick Garland being blocked by McConnell from SCOTUS was a good thing. Make a decision, man.

[smokinjoe]

it never ends: "closing in on Trump" "how much time does he have left?", etc, etc, etc. We the public are left to feel that this is all a ruse!! How long do we have to wait for this criminal to finally be accountable for his constant breaking of the wall and god knows what else?

Trump 2018: *_"You see the mob takes the Fifth...If you’re innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?"_*
Trump 2022: Pleads the Fifth more than 440 times.

So... *_"Lock him up! Lock him up!"_*

[berthabridges]

Thank you, Ari for getting us up to speed on the ongoing investigations. 🔎 It's super hard to keep up sometimes. 😪 We appreciate your helping us to keep our eyes on the prize. 👀

[jojoaausone]

Fast backward to a year ago and the question was "will Garland take any action (against Trump and his cabal)?" We got our answer to that. As for Smith persuing justice for America, I'll believe it when I see indictments.

[Metalheadmike]

They better get him with something. He thinks he can do what he wants when he wants without consequences. Hold him accountable.

[splender]

I've been hearing this for far too long. I don't believe for one second they will ever arrest this creep and hold him accountable. Can only hope I am proven wrong.

[vallismuck]

Indictments are a MUST...too much overwhelming evidence to ignor.

[tRumpForPrison]

Jack Smith will be Time’s 2023 most important

[batgurrl]

Thanks Ari. Hope Springs Eternal that the DOJ will issue an indictment of 45. Sooner rather than later.
