We Still Haven't Left January 6th
snip//
In so many ways, we've never left January 6, 2021 in this America, where we've been damned to watch the blatantly guilty run free and propagate their evil madness, acting as if their advocacy for and/or participation in an attempted coup is merely free speech and not an attempt to squelch and eliminate the purest expression of our free speech: voting.

That’s on everyone involved in investigations. Barring some startling round of indictments, they’ve blown it. The lugubrious pace of the January 6th Committee and the Justice Department’s investigation has allowed those who took part in planning and propagating the coup attempt to emerge not only unscathed, but in the case of the House Republicans who couped the shit out of the Congress, emboldened by now being in the majority. And, as I have warned repeatedly, the stupidly named Freedom Caucus and its stupid, grunting whore members are threatening to use every means they have to hamstring or halt the prosecution of, well, fuck, any of themselves or anyone else like, you know, Trump.
This perverse idea that because we’ve never arrested and prosecuted a president, we must be extra super-duper careful is worthless. Just because you never did something before doesn’t mean that you proceed with so much caution that you end up not bothering to do it. The republic will not fall to pieces, no matter what the Chicken Littles of the punditocracy say. Indeed, it says something about the strength of a country if it can confidently prosecute a former leader for trying to steal an election.
Worst of all, they have allowed the small cabal of the maddest Trumpinistas to give the former president (that’s right – Donald Trump was once president of the United States. Fucks you up when you think about it, doesn’t it?) continued power. The timidity with which Trump has been handled would be laughable if it weren’t so dangerous. I mean, he held a rally at the US Capitol to protest the legitimacy of the election. He invited his idiot hordes to join him in marching on the Capitol. I’ve said it a thousand times and I’ll say it a thousand more: I will never understand why Trump wasn’t cuffed and dragged out of the White House on January 6, 2021. I will never understand why the niceties of an impeachment took precedence over law enforcement when he so clearly broke the law. And you can say he has a First Amendment right to say the crazy shit he says, but, and I say this again for the fuckteenth time, the First Amendment is not a suicide pact.
As demonstrated by delirious debacle of voting pudding-brained Kevin McCarthy in as Speaker of the House on the 15th attempt, the newly emboldened House Nutzoid Caucus, promised everything from Marjorie Taylor Greene getting her toys licked by McCarthy to Matt Gaetz getting to watch when McCarthy blows Nestor to Lauren Boebert getting to ream McCarthy out with her rifle, are going to attempt to destroy shit because that’s all they know how to do. And no one has made them pay a price. So we all pay the price in watching those we know should have been arrested two years ago flaunting their freedom in our flustered faces. It will never not be January 6, 2021 until they pay.

J6 needed a thorough investigation but the stolen documents? That was a slam dunk but he's still walking free, holding rallies, & lying about 2020. Oh, & running for prez again. JFC. 
Our side has too much reverence for the office of the president, too much fear of the media calling us partisan, & too little fight. I think the DOJ is going to leave it to the voters to make sure Trump never resides in the WH again. Same for the traitors in Congress. The voters will have to vote them out, & if they don't, so be it, the DOJ isn't going to go after them.
... that Garland would "slow-walk" the January 6th investigation until after the midterms. Garland never sat on it, he just kept it under wraps while all the other stuff (including the House J-6 committee) played out. So OK the midterms are done, and Garland isn't slow-walking it now. In fact he has appointed Jack Smith as special prosecutor, and Mr. Smith is flooring it.
This is the year of Jack Smith, and we're going to see some action, so hold onto your hats.
these are fucking CRIMINALS 
Biden knew that Garland wanted to go after all the Repukes but it's a political hot potato. He (Biden) had a jam-packed agenda of bills he wanted passed in his 1st and 2nd year, and he knew that the Repukes would fight him over everything. If there were any chance of getting cooperation from the Repukes, they had to slow-walk the investigation of the coup attempt. That doesn't mean that either Biden or Garland wanted to drop any of it. Garland wasn't interested in politics, but Biden was, and is.
Or is it just your opinion?
That's perfectly ok if it is just speculation...I think your reasoning is good. Just want to make it clear.
Thanks!
I'm beyond tired of hearing that point of concern relative to prosecuting Trump. We've never had a fucking President like Donald Trump, who is the epitome; the pinnacle; the embodiment of scandalous perversion.
It is incomprehensible to me that the powers to be can't make that distinction.
