So 2 YEARS to appoint special counsel for trump, 2 MINUTES to appoint one for Biden.

WTF

1. The DOJ was investigating Trump pretty much immediately after Biden took over.

This was okay, because Trump was a private citizen at the time. It was only when Trump announced for 2024 that Garland appointed a special counsel, due to the conflict of interest of having Biden's DOJ investigate a potential opponent.

With Biden, he's the president now. So any investigation relating to him needs a special counsel, due to the conflict of interest.

Both investigations started quickly, as they should.

3. I could not disagree more,

The norms for appointing a special counsel are that Garland believes there is possible criminal activity. Pretty short time frame for Garland to determine a special counsel is warranted, that President Biden was involved in a crime.

6. And that was proven with his phone call to Georgia s.o.s.

Hope it is the former.
