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.
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
