3. A very good thing.

5. I voted not a good thing, but I don't like the reasoning why.

I think he will still ultimately get nailed, but I think this is just another example of "the good guys" bending over backwards to appease the obvious criminal when they would not treat anyone else with these sorts of kid gloves. Even if he gets ultimately indicted and convicted, he has received a benefit of the doubt that no one else would have ever gotten and certainly one that he himself did not deserve.

6. It's the Cyrus Vance gambit. Unexpected, but does the job

it's meant to: kicking that can down the road.

7. I'd go for a "fabulous" thing, but had to settle for "good."

This step is required by DOJ policy if indictments and prosecution are deemed warranted in such circumstances under DOJ policies.

This is marvelous news.

8. My hope? "Too soon to tell". My gut reaction? "This is not a good thing." n/t

9. Doesn't really change much with me

I had zero expectations Trump would ever be held accountable for his many alleged crimes and I still have no expectations that he will be held accountable. That’s less of a commentary on Garland, who I’m sure is entirely competent, and more of a commentary on how we do things here.
However, I do see some value in the SC approach. I just don’t think it changes the ending to the story.

10. It's not a good thing

and I have no idea if Trump will be prosecuted.
