41. that you're still bashing him for 'taking too much time'

...with this clipped acknowledgement of what he's accomplished so far.

This is such a bogus attack. I'm a fan of justice. That's what we're seeing. Not an internet prosecution, but actual justice metted out by a grand jury, and ultimately another jury of citizens.

Hating this is hating our system of justice. Just that simple. Garland isn't responsible for how that system operates, but he's certainly working it in a way that is progressing against Trump. Whinging right now about the man who set all of this in motion isn't the edge you think it is.

Did Garland not have the full force of the DOJ expertise and resources for those 2 years? Scrivener7 Jun 2023 #26

He absolutelu did. He also had the full scope of responsibilities running DOJ. Beastly Boy Jun 2023 #34

So we agree that the cases against Trump did not move forward as quickly as they could have Scrivener7 Jun 2023 #36

Without the actions of Garland's team (who became the bulk of Smith's team) Fiendish Thingy Jun 2023 #33

Yes. Ancianita's post shows Garland did do a few things in the 2 years before Smith was hired. Scrivener7 Jun 2023 #35

The facts speak for themselves Fiendish Thingy Jun 2023 #37

Yes. After MANY months of prompting, Garland did subpoena the documents and move Scrivener7 Jun 2023 #38

Prosecutors can't win cases without evidence, regardless of how quickly or slowly it's obtained Fiendish Thingy Jun 2023 #42
