This is good. I would also like to see her re-open the case into the Flint water crisis and the cover up that followed
[...] she is “a little worried” that more than a year has passed since she referred cases related to the false slates of electors to the Justice Department and believes there is “clear evidence” to support charges against the fake electors from Michigan. 

To me that sounds like Politician for: "What the fuck are you even doing?" 
Good to see that things are moving in the State, then.

Nessel confirmed the state investigation has been re-opened, noting it’s unclear how the Justice Department probe is proceeding. 

Seems at least some State prosecutors trust the Federal response about as much as this sub by now. >

Despite anything that you may have believed from Republicans about the federal government and the Justice department, the DOJ is significantly more conservative than most other parts of the government.  Anyone left of center should always be concerned about federal inaction. >

The FBI in particular.  You think there's no maga embed in the investigation?  Unlikely. >

It was MAGA FBI agents that threatened to leak news of some Clinton emails being found in Weiner's laptop that caused Comey to give his infamous press conference that cost Clinton the election.
Nothing was found in those emails. >

Infamous hatch act violation with zero consequences. >

It is good to know that in spite of Trump's and his GOP lapdogs' best efforts, there are still good people in important places who are committed to doing the correct thing. Knock 'em dead, Michigan! Love from the West Coast! >

Nice use of compound-and-plural possessive punctuation! >

I second that! >

Me and we agrees. >

Go get ‘em Dana.  We are so proud of you here in Michigan. >

We have some great women leaders in Michigan.  I am also excited to see what Winnie Brinks can do as senate majority leader. She’s sharp. >

Whitmer, Nessel and Benson are on the leading edge of confronting and holding accountable fascist thugs who rely on MAGA propaganda to try to destroy Michigan. >

I would like to see Whitmer run for president.  She has a lot of appeal and would have a great chance of beating Desantis.  IMO. >

I thought she would have been a great running mate for Biden in 2020. >

Why this is not off topic: Elections are the heart of the US democracy. Insiders, attempting to undermine elections via fraudulent means (e.g. electoral fraud) because their political/tribal leader told them to, is antithetical to everything the founders stood for and came close to nearly ending 200 years of a constitutional democracy.
Edit: a word >

Republicans committed so many crimes and broke so many laws for the Jan 6 coup that it is going to take a very long time time to prosecute all of them for all their crimes. I hope no one is able to get away. Especially those in powerful positions. >

Everyone important has already gotten away with it. >

Yeah. That’s the sad part. Here is hoping something will change. >

Garland needs to grow a pair, of ovaries apparently. >

My favourite comment here so far! >

Goood, Someone motivated needs to. >

and you have probably some Great People who were only there for Trump, and they caused no problems for us just like when I solved the FBI Problem, we had with the Biggest Liar and Leaker James Comey, he was looking into Trump, looking at Russia like there were some problems there even though there were no problems, so I fired him, I had Great Reviews in the Press, even the Fake News had to say I did an Incredible Job, they said to me, "Sir, you're even tougher than Washington," I said I know that, everybody knows that, you know Donald Trump and you know Strength, believe me. >

Hmm I dunno, maybe it’s just me, but I think that investigation should be reopened. >

Good. Hold all of them accountable. >

I hope she gets everything she needs to check these mofos. >

As she should because it’s insanely illegal and un-democratic >

Only someone downing in the trump kool-aid believes the "alternative electors just in case" bs, they were obviously going to use this to try and make the coup look legit >

Good. Send every single one of them to jail. >

Good idea, Merrick Garland is worthless. By the time he brings up any charges its possible a republican traitor takes office and ends the investigation. >

I don't know if he's worthless. He's prosecuted around 1000 people involved in the insurrection, including Rhodes. He's probably trying to build up to the highest-profile individuals. The more people who plead guilty or are found guilty by trial before that happens, the less chance of people rioting in the streets when they take in the ring leaders.
ETA: I love Dana Nessel. She's tough on these incel rubes. She just prosecuted the morons who tried to kidnap and kill the governor in MI. >


He's prosecuted around 1000 people involved in the insurrection, including Rhodes. 

With pointless slaps on the wrist for almost all of them. And countless examples of him doing nothing or potentially even protecting other Republicans, like Matt Gaetz. >

Lock them up!
Lock them up!
Trump too! >

It’s as if justice never comes for the powerful >

It's truly astonishing that the GQP thought they could remain in power forever. Ignoring warnings that this was illegal, they did the same in many states. Let's pretend that Trump remained in power - Did they truly believe that breaking the law would have no consequence after he left office?
Party of law and order my ass. Gaslight, Q-Anon Crazy and Project. >

I agree 👍 >

Wisconsin is setting the tone on this. Other states are going to following their lead and the DOJ can add the threat of the Feds to get those indicted to make deals, flip, and aid in other investigations. These are fairly straightforward cases >

Please nail his hide to the wall. >

Probe shmobe, throw that fucker in jail already or stop talking about him. >

republicans = fake electors >

All I can think about is the archery tournament in Men in Tights >

I'm assuming that the fact her opponent in the last election was directly involved has something to do with her putting it down for a bit. Glad that the state will be jumping back into it. >

Name and shame...too bad they have no shame >

good >

Biden protecting Trump. >

Hello Josh Kaul.  Please get on the same one state over.  Wisconsin needs to have Justice served to our slate of false electors and those that conspired with them.  That should include Senator  Ron Johnson. >

Michigan is killing it with the quality of their representatives the last few years. I'm always impressed with the matter of fact professionalism and well articulated replies when they're interviewed. >

Yes! About time someone starts taking down these criminals. >

Nothing will happen >

Person woman man camera TV? >

Yes, weaponize law enforcement against political opponents! Stalin would be proud! >

By this logic should no politician ever be charged with a crime? >

What a waste of time. May maybe investigate why Dow has polluted our rivers and our great lakes for years with No consequences. When you are advised to eat only one meal of dish a month to keep them from getting cancer, is far more important than some bullshit Trump stuff. >

How about both >

Isn't she the same one that messed up the investigation into Former Governor Sanders? >

A little “justice” would be nice but we have learned that status can destroy it. >

It is good to know that in spite of Trump's and his GOP lapdogs' best efforts, there are still good people in important places who are committed to doing the correct thing. Knock 'em dead, Michigan! Love from the West Coast! >

It's been two years since January 6th, and the DOJ has not made any significant headway in prosecuting the playmakers. Sure, they got the pawns, but so many crimes were committed by powerful republican politicians. Are they hoping that the statute of limitations runs out on them or another republican president that halts their investigations? Screw that. Go get 'em Michigan! We've waited patiently enough. >

I am with you. I would be so happy to see the culprits in actual jail and stripped of power. >
