(42,770 posts)time to find. Read all of them. Maybe I missed it, but didn't see anything that said Garland was literally doing nothing. Like sitting in his office twiddling his thumbs. Everyone knows that isn't true!
There's a lot of shorthand that people are using, that only the people who are viscerally worried that trump will not be held accountable may understand. A simple "Garland isn't investigating and indicting" doesn't mean any thing or any body. It means TRUMP!!
We don't know if he is or not. For people who by their very nature, don't accept "I trust", all we can only go on are factual clues, which many here have rightly pointed out. Like inactions before lapses in statute of limitations, comparisons to former situations, absences of typical leaks, specific indictments not handed out etc.etc.
And don't forget the backdrop fact that we just got royally burned putting all our faith in Mueller. And that was a bust. It fueled distrust in our system for holding the biggest political criminal in our lifetime to justice. Regardless of who sat in the AG chair every day.
After reading a couple good articles today from justsecurity.com about how they pieced together indictments on the insurrectionists and their communications via The Donald domain, it's abundantly clear to me that going up the chain to get trump will be a lot of tedious work. If they can't get there - him getting away with this will rank up there with Cheney's phony war and trump purposely withholding info and PPE for covid. Hundreds of thousands of humans died
