On Nicole Wallace right now: Garland, Wray, prevented FBI, DOJ from investigating Trump

13. I'll wait until everything gets laid out for us to see in this before I'll go that far.

But it is certainly a fact that we got a lot of pushback, and that all of the rhetoric about how this takes time, and comparing this to other cases, and major investigations, well, none of that added up. Once Smith was assigned to this case it was a matter of just a few months to indictments that might never have come about at all if he hadn't been involved. If he'd started out in February or March of 2021, we'd have convictions and Trump would be serving prison time now, and the embarassment of not being able to control a corrupt criminal politician's run for the White House would not exist.

I get the sentimentality of appointing Garland as Attorney General, after the Republicans stole the Supreme Court seat he was up for. But looking at some of the powerhouses that were in Obama's DOJ, we may yet come to regret his being chosen as AG. I'm fair, willing to see how things shake out now, if they get indictments soon on the seditious conspiracy Trump committed in organizing and conducting the January 6th Trump Insurrection, fake electors and attempts to subvert the constitution's preaceful transfer of power. But if it doesn't all finish before the 2024 election, all of this could very well be moot.
