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.
So fucking fun how this always applies to investigations into Republicans but never into Democrats. We couldn’t possibly be investigating a Republican who isn’t even on the ballot within 60 days of an election but we absolutely can send a letter to congressional Republicans about new emails being discovered in the Hilary Clinton investigation a mere 2 weeks before the election despite willfully knowing it would be leaked.
I genuinely believe that Garland, a known Republican, voted for Trump in 2020 and was upset he didn’t win and knew he was going to be the candidate again so didn’t want to put the fucker in prison. Then went and voted for Trump in 2024.
Fucker should have been fired.
We should have picked back up the Russia investigation and rolled it in with Jan 6th and brought charges two weeks into the Biden administration.
Yep, the Republican investigator Robert Mueller had it all laid out in the second half of his report, and did everything he could to get Congress to formally investigate. Of course they refused. Trump’s financial crimes with Russian oligarchs are a slam dunk if anyone cares about fighting actual crime and delivering justice.
The boxes of classified documents at Mar a Lago is another one.
Mueller was incredibly limp-wristed throughout. He could have done much more but he’s a republican partisan hack.
Jack Smith and Robert Mueller both found damning evidence independently but together proved that MAGA is a criminal enterprise.
Cherry on top is that Garland was going to be Obama’s Supreme Court nom in 2016 before the Repugs stalled 8 months so they could put in Gorsuck instead. We the people were going to be fucked by the establishment either way.
