2) did you actually read the “heat map”? It shows that out of 14-15 potential obstructive incidents, only 4-5 possibly meet all three legal criteria for conviction. So, hesitation to prosecute because of a low likelihood of conviction is not a sign of corruption. In fact, DOJ policy is that no prosecutor should seek an indictment unless nearly certain a conviction can be obtained.

I looked up “corruption”, and nowhere in the definition did I see “DOJ not doing what I want, when I want, as quickly as I want”.

If you truly believe DOJ is corrupt, as your post alleges, then I recommend you contact your congressperson and demand they open impeachment hearing for Garland, as well as hearings into the corruption at DOJ.
