Was Merrick Garland's Approach Correct All Along?

[Beastly Boy]

79. No it has not been delayed.DOJ didn't fail to investigate Trump. It's a fairy tale debunked long ago

and way too many times. And if you were to read the OP before responding, there would have been no need to debunk it once again. And you would have realized that Jack Smith's pace of investigation is no different from that of Garland.

But even though I am sick and tired of doing this over and over, here it is once again, from one of my earlier posts, links to sources and all:

The oft repeated accusations of DOJ not investigating Trump, which is based in large part on a WP article widely derided for its shoddy journalism or outright fact-free speculations, is a fairy tale. All evidence suggests that the DOJ investigation into Trump has been ongoing since even before Garland took office (https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/07/us/politics/justice-department-trump-capitol.html), and way before the J6 Committee came up with their criminal referrals in December of 2022. In March 2022, WP reported that "In the past two months, a federal grand jury in Washington has issued subpoena requests to some officials in former president Donald Trump’s orbit who assisted in planning, funding and executing the Jan. 6 rally", eaning the subpoenas went out as early as January 2022. (https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2022/03/30/jan-6-fbi-subpoena-justice/). In April 2022, "Sources confirm to Reuters that the U.S. Justice Department was investigating Trump's removal of official presidential records from the White House." (https://www.voanews.com/a/timeline-of-the-trump-documents-inquiry-/6734453.html). In July 2022 DOJ was already investigating Trump himself (https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2022/03/30/jan-6-fbi-subpoena-justice/), and has not ruled out charging him (https://www.businessinsider.com/merrick-garland-hasnt-ruled-out-charging-trump-over-january-6-2022-7). In May of 2022, DOJ subpoenas National Archives for Trump's classified docs. On August 8,2022, FBI raids Mar-a Lago for classified docs (https://www.voanews.com/a/timeline-of-the-trump-documents-inquiry-/6734453.html).

All of the above happened before Jack Smith took over the Trump part of the DOJ investigation, which was by then well on its way, and THIS is what is not debatable. All of the evidence collected by DOJ since 1/6, 2021 was given to Smith by DOJ.

And then, of course, even if there were delays, which there weren't, and if they did affect the timing of the prosecution, which they do not, how would that increase Trump's chances of winning the election?
