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

[LaMouffette]

52. I think Garland had to be cautious because of the 40 percent of Americans who believed the 2020

election was rigged or stolen.

After January 6th, there was NOT universal outrage over Trump's insurrection. Many, if not most, Republicans were not horrified by the violence that day, but were elated and proud of the insurrectionists and believed they were doing a patriotic act.

If Trump had been investigated or indicted immediately, those same people would have seen that as proof that Biden stole the election and now sought to imprison their beloved leader. This could have easily led to more violence and on a larger scale.

I believe it took the prosecution of the foot soldiers, plus the revelation of the stolen top secret documents, for it to get through these dumb asses' thick skulls that maybe Trump is a lying piece of shit who used them in a massive attempt to do exactly what he was accusing Joe Biden of: stealing an election.

So I stand by Garland's decision to wait to go after the big prize. However, now that he has the goods on Trump, he had better see to it that Trump (1) sees prison time; and (2) is prevented from being elected and having access to US secret documents ever again.

If he doesn't, then, yeah, we should all be righteously pissed.
