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.
You mean the partisan republican doj obstructed an investigation into republicans? I’m shocked. Well I’m not that shocked.
To be fair, the DoJ generally protects everyone who is rich and powerful. I was surprised they gave Bob Menendez a slap on the wrist, rather than dropping the case
And I do consider 11 years a slap on the wrist, considering he took bribes from foreign governments. That’s Eric Adams levels of corruption, although nowhere near Trump levels of corruption
