Acting on a mix of principle and caution, Justice Department officials under former President Joe Biden made a series of decisions that significantly delayed and ultimately may have hampered the federal criminal investigations into President Donald Trump, according to a new book.
The slow decision-making at the top of Attorney General Merrick Garland’s Justice Department affected two major probes into Trump after he lost the White House in 2020: whether he illegally possessed and obstructed the retrieval of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago residence, and whether he conspired illegally to overturn the 2020 election.
In that analogy, are saying the driver should not slow down at all…even when running through red lights? First of all, you’re assuming there’s no one else on the road. But if that’s your strategy, then that organ isn’t going to make it to its destination. That guy’s going to get t-boned before he gets there.
What you’re calling “unwarranted caution” really is a matter of perspective. Since you can’t control every possible variable along the route, you have to use some degree of caution, or you’re going to get hit. It’s just a matter of how much caution, and that’s also impossible to know in advance.
Sure…maybe you get lucky and everyone else on the road gives you a wide berth, and nothing goes wrong. But in this case, there’s also someone out there actively trying to stop you from making that delivery. And that being the case, all your lack of caution does is provide them with more opportunities to stop you.
How do you even function in the real world?
Just like any other person. What world are you living in?
