“I intend to conduct the assigned investigations, and any prosecutions that may result from them, independently and in the best traditions of the Department of Justice. The pace of the investigations will not pause or flag under my watch. I will exercise independent judgement and will move the investigations forward expeditiously and thoroughly to whatever outcome the facts and the law dictate.” -- statement by newly appointed Special Counsel Jack Smith, who'll be leading the investigations into the Malignant Loser's actions surrounding the January 6 insurrection and his "mishandling" of classified documents. The classified documents investigation is likely to be the first to come to a decision (and, as many legal observers have noted, had it been Joe Sixpack with the documents, they'd be in jail already). We'll see if Mr. Smith meets the moment.
