Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) sees signs in recent judicial activity that the Justice Department has advanced their investigation into Trump’s coup plotters.

Rep. Schiff said in Inside with Jen Psaki:
You know, bringing in these bogus voters, some of whom have apparently been granted immunity for their testimony, certainly indicates progress in the investigation. Which may say more about the state of the research, really bring people like Mike Pence or Mark Meadows or others, like Steve Bannon, to the top of this plan. The Justice Department went after the foot soldiers who broke into the Capitol and assaulted police officers. But it has taken them a very long time to go after the organizers of this uprising. But now they apparently are, and this may indicate that we are much closer to the end of this investigation. And I hope that’s true because, you know, this matter has to be brought to a conclusion one way or another.
The one thing we learned after the Jack Smith indictment of Trump is that the special counsel won’t give anyone a free pass, so if the investigation has enough evidence to indict the coup plotters, Jack Smith doesn’t seem like the type who will hesitate to pull the trigger.
Rep. Schiff is a former prosecutor who has historically criticized the DOJ for its lack of speed in filing charges related to Trump’s attempted coup and the 1/6 attack.
The California Democratic Senate nominee has not been a DOJ apologist, so if he sees signs that lead him to believe Trump’s coup investigation is progressing, his impressions should be taken seriously,
