In reply to the discussion: On Nicole Wallace right now: Garland, Wray, prevented FBI, DOJ from investigating Trump [View all]lees1975
(7,137 posts)Trump gets away with all of this if ANY Republican wins in 2024. According to these reports, if they are accurate, and Wallace usually gets the facts right, they knew what was at stake and made the decision to go after the "foot soldiers" first. So where did they think those orders came from?
The DOJ was a swamp hole of corruption when Biden was elected and one of the expectations I had was that he would clean it up and put someone competent in there after the disastrous leadership it had under Trump. I didn't know much about Garland then, except that he'd been nominated by Obama for the Supreme Court. But I knew the DOJ under Obama had some powerhouse leadership. So it's not out of place to have expected more when these document crimes and the seditious conspiracy surrounding the attempt to steal the election occurred. That's a massive crime against the people of the United States and a competent Attorney General who knew the law and wasn't concerned about "political appearances," would have jumped on that right away, and it would be over now, with Trump in jail.
So you're right, he didn't move fast enough. What kind of crime does someone have to commit to move the nation's top law enforcement officer to action?
