oh I see. But what's the point of getting someone to testify of all that does is show that they're guilty?
For example, in the case of Epstein and OJ they didn't have to make them testify in civil hearings before charging them. Why don't they just get real evidence to charge Trump instead?
We've already been over this. It's like we're going in circles.
The J6 Hearings are to inform the American public about trump and his co-conspirators crimes trying to overturn the election results and literally steal the country, getting rid of voting and installing trump as dictator. The point of that is that the more people who realize trump is a giant liar and fraud, that this was all very deeply criminal, then the more that will maybe stop supporting him and vote for politicians that respect Democracy and voting and continuing the USA under it's current form of government. It's for public support for these concepts.
The DOJ is doing their own (multiple) investigations and has yet to indict trump on crimes, but they are expected to sometime after the midterm elections in November. The J6 Congressional Committee has been conducting their investigations and interviews for nearly 2 years as well. There were a LOT of players involved. They interviewed more than 1,000 people. Politicians, civilians, trump administration employees, secret service, FBI, police, campaign people, media people, advisers and consultants etc etc etc. Thorough investigations to figure out who did what when and what if anything were actual crimes. It takes a lot of work to do all of that.
Further, my guess is that they're being as thorough as they are to make sure that if they indict him on criminal charges that they're charging him with crimes they believe they have a very good chance of convicting him on vs. just hoping that maybe they have enough evidence. Also, my best guess is that it's similar to here in Canada.. police conduct investigations sometimes for YEARS after arrests and before charges are laid because once charges are laid the clock is ticking and people have a right to a speedy trial... so, kingpins get arrested, then released with no charges a day or two later.. then investigations go on for seemingly forever, THEN charges get laid and court dates set. If they lay charges right away and the court date is set for 8 months away then they only have 8 months to get their entire case together.. but if the case is super complex or information is very difficult and time consuming to obtain, that may not be enough time. So, it's their strategy to get all the info they think they need to convict someone in court BEFORE pressing charges and setting a court dates so they Know they have a solid case.
