We still don’t know who else, if anyone, the Justice Department will indict in connection with January 6 and the Big Lie. The seditious conspiracy charges against members of the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys are a good start, and subpoenas and searches that became public last week suggest that DOJ is working up the chain of those responsible, perhaps looking now at people involved in the scheme to impersonate legitimate electors. The home of Jeffrey Clark, the would-be usurper at DOJ, was searched and electronic devices seized last week.
In the meantime, the House January 6 Committee is doing a skillful job of presenting evidence that increasingly confirms Trump’s involvement. Trump’s knowledge and intentions, in legal terms his mens rea — or, state of mind — would be essential to convicting on criminal charges. DOJ likely has or will have access to all of the Committee’s evidence.
