According to a new report initially broken by CBS News, a Department of Justice criminal probe into the attempt to overturn the 2020 presidential election results has increasingly focused on communication within former President Trump's inner circle.
The probe — and the decision to bring two former top Pence aides to testify before a grand jury — represents the most aggressive investigative step taken by the DOJ so far.
The developments show that DOJ is closely scrutinizing Trump's role in this alleged scheme.
CNN adds:
It signals that the Department's probe has reached inside former President Donald Trump's White House and that investigators are looking at conduct directly related to Trump's and his closest allies' efforts to overturn his election defeat.
Former Pence chief of staff Marc Short testified in front of a grand jury in DC on Friday, CNN has confirmed. Fellow Pence aide Greg Jacob testified in recent weeks as well, CNN has learned from a source close to the investigation.
The questions to Jacob and Short included a focus on the fake elector scheme and the role of Trump lawyers John Eastman and Rudy Giuliani, the source said.
Following the 2020 election, Trump advisors who successfully promoted the unproven stolen election conspiracy theory proposed submitting an alternate slate of electors in several key states to challenge the electoral college vote in that state. The proposal was devised by former law professor and Trump attorney John Eastman, who claimed that then-Vice President Mike Pence had the constitutional authority to change electors at his discretion.
U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland previously promised that the DOJ would investigate Trump's actions leading up to and during Jan. 6 without “fear or favor.” Garland called the department's effort “the most wide-ranging investigation in its history” in an interview on Tuesday with NBC's Lester Holt.

The Guardian adds:
Responding to criticism that it is not acting quickly enough, Garland told NBC that the department was “moving urgently to learn everything we can learn about this period, and to bring to justice everybody who is criminally responsible for interfering with the peaceful transfer of power … which is the fundamental element of our democracy”.
The House January 6 committee could make a criminal referral. Whether it should, or will, and whether it has presented sufficient evidence to do so, is a matter of extensive debate around the US and on the committee itself.
When are the Bidens going to trial? Everyone in this great country know the election was rigged . Let’s just continue the witch hunt. Why are the dems so scared of Trump?
When will Pelosi/others in our corrupt congress go to prision for insider trading and for other laws they/families are breaking ???
They are scared because Trump is honest and strong enough to finally hold corrupt elected officials and subversive Deep State bureaucrats accountable for their incompetence, misdeeds and criminal activities as well as streamline and improve our bloated, inefficient Federal Government with new rules for firing and laying off Civil Servants (i.e., We currently have over 3 million people and growing in the federal government, not including the military, etc.)!
It is high time to “Right the Ship of DC Government”!
It begins this November 2022 and continues in November 2024!
Pence is a traitor. All who work for him or support him are traitors. RINOS, election thief’s and DOMESTIC ENEMIES will never believe what is coming. They should run while they still can.
YOU KNOW WHAT CBS STANDS FOR? COMMUNIST BS.
A BILLION DOLLAR LOTTO PRIZE WOULD GO A LOT FURTHER IF THERE WERE ONLY $10,000 WINNERS. WHEN TRUMP COMES BACK WE WILL CHANGE THAT. BEWARE THE DEMOCRAT COMMUNIST MEDIA COMPLEX.

Most of the people who made America great would not pass the inquisitions that are going on against Trump, going on for 6 years now. Most had mistresses, big egos, brash mannerisms but got the job done, better than any one else. That doesn’t count nowadays as shallow tacking points by haters seem to be the focus.
DOJ is just waiting for a more politically crucial moment to file charges .. like soon after Trump declares his intention to run, or closer to 2024 election.
And the democrat one world government communist coup of POTUS Trump continues, 6 years and running.
Maybe I’m missing something here. Merrick Garland, Chief of Nothing, is not hauling Pelosi or Waters or Schiff or even some of the Bidens off to jail for their nefarious actions and activities! Instead he is going after Trump for insurrection! Keep on digging I’m sure Pence, another Chief of Nothing, and his staff really knew what was going on in the White House. God forbid we should ever see Pence in the White House again! That would be a travesty!
Pence and his cronies are all POS.
Garland is an even bigger POS, as is the DOJ now.
Why don’t they spend their time investigating REAL criminals like Hunter, Joe and his brother? Let’s see investigations into the Biden crime syndicate.
The Fact that the 2020 Election was stolen by the shady, unethical & CRIMINAL actions in a widely-coordinated effort by Democrats and their Paid Operatives is UNDENIABLE — Far too much actual and verifiable evidence exists especially due to the efforts by “True the Vote” & Denish D’Sousa’s” honest and through Movie/DVD: “2000 Mules”!
The person, the Mule carrying multiple Ballots from a common Democrat-Activist Organization Location, Night-after-Night traveling their route to many different ballot boxes where each Official Video Surveillance (present at most Ballot Boxes & legally required at all locations) could repeatedly show the Mule dropping 3-5 ballots while stuffing many more into the slot in the ballot box then inserting the several dropped-ballots at multiple locations!!!
Since it was revealed that MULE-Fingerprints could be found and then matched to them as proof of Illegal Ballot Harvesting, many of the videos showed the same and multiple MULES wearing the same style blue-rubber-glove on their right hand, then turning & disposing of it with “Practiced Precision Knowing Exactly where the Trash Can was located near each Video-covered Ballot Box!
Then each of the Mules were shown taking a photo of the Drop Box where they had just illegally stuffed multiple Harvested Ballots as PROOF of each of their multiple Ballot Drops in order the receive payment from Democrat Activist Organizations that provided them the Harvested Ballots for Illegal Drops.
Many of the MULES and their Car Tags were Photographed and Identifiable via the official Surveillance Videos as being from out of State or out of the immediate area plus often their nightly runs (Sometime even in broad daylight with legal in-person witnesses that were lined up to vote in person, but who did not challenge the Mule or his obvious multiple ballot drop & multiple insertion actions and strange Photo-Op with the Voter Drop Box!)!
Combine this with the copious and incriminating evidence captured by Mike Lindell, the My Pillow Man, regarding the Dominion and other easily fraudulent (online, illegally) Electronic Voting Machines and the very suspicious and corrupted vote tallying software & systems (even with servers located in foreign countries managing our national 2020 presidential election) — Impressive Evidence indeed of a vast and premeditated voter fraud scheme & wide participation.
Although Mike Lindell’s evidence is massive and impressive, the “True The Vote” / Denise D’Souza’s “2000 Mules” video and computerized evidence along with their very conservative & well-defined assumptions is the very most intuitive and easy to understand — leading to the inevitable conclusion that: The Democrat Party, Elected and Unelected Democrat Officials and agents actively participated together at many levels to “Steal the 2020 Election”!
See the Movie, Buy the DVD or, if you must, view the “2000 Mules” remarkable evidence for free via Rumble, etc.
See-It-For Yourself, since You Need to Really Know; Plus, The Public must know of the Deep State, Democrat & Progressive Malfeasance and crimes supported by scurrilous Billionaire Elitists like Bill Gates, Zuckerman, George Soros and so many anti-American individuals and factions!
Just watch how they turn up the heat when the Mid terms show a complete slaughter of the Demonrat Party. MSM needs to be held accountable for their propaganda. Wouldn’t it be cool to see Donald Trump to surprise a news caster right in the middle of their lying news cast, and sit down during the broadcast and make there claims right in front of him live and in person. Well i know that can’t be possible but it is a nice thought anyway.
Well, it seems the DOJ is just as corrupt or paid off and trying their best to get Trump out of the picture. Sounds like the whole FBI and DOJ are in with the Democrats and being ruined by Democrats to get Trump out of the picture, but their lies keep catching up with them and no proof, just say so or made-up bull.
This article is garbage. Can the reporter investigate anything himself and not use the biased farce reporting of CNN and the Guardian? I could have just read those articles instead. “promoted the unproven stolen election conspiracy theory”. Just stop. The election was full of fraud. I’m sick of seeing that crap. The Big Lie is the Big Lie that the election was “free and fair”. It was not, that, we absolutely know. Did Trump really win? We’ll never know.
Scott Adam’s Twitter post sums up the Committee’s almost comical efforts, since inception, to find a crime anywhere against Trump:
1. Trump attempted a planned insurrection.
2. Okay, loosely planned.
3. Okay, not planned, but he encouraged it.
4. Okay, he didn’t encourage it, but he didn’t try to stop it.
5. Okay, he did try to stop the violence, but he should have done more, and sooner, during fog of war.
I’m sorry to burst anyone’s bubble but if the GOP makes Trump our candidate, the republicans will lose more than they win. The hate for Trump is too deep and wide across this country for him to ever be elected again.I voted for him in both elections he ran in, but those times are over ,and now the left, and the biased msm, have pounded so many lies into the American citizens mind that far too many will believe it and vote against him. He must know, that but sadly his ego won’t allow him to admit it and tell us he won’t be running again.I don’t know who we could offer up as our candidate, but we better come up with one, and soon.
