Waiting 18 months before investigating TSF mattered.
Robert Mueller would have indicted TSF for 10 obstruction of justice crimes, and would have indicted "individual one" for campaign finance violations. The only reason that Mueller did not indict TSF was because he was a sitting president and because of that DOJ memo about not interfering in an election.
What happened next, after TSF lost the election was that Merrick Garland chose not to indict TSF for either of the 2 crimes. Alvin Bragg picked up the ball and ran with it. Time did matter however, the statute of limitations had run out to indict TSF for the misdemeanors involved in the Stormy Daniels trial, Alvin Bragg could only indict TSF for the felonies because DOJ decided to not prosecute.
Where would we be today had Garland appointed Jack Smith right away? I posit that TSF would be sitting in 2 courtrooms.
Garland was confirmed March 10, 2021 and Jack Smith was appointed Nov. 18, 2022. All that time was wasted.
How many people had DOJ indicted from TSF's inner circle? Navarro and Bannon were indicted because of criminal referrals from the J6 select committee for blowing off subpoenas. 4 months in prison, better than nothing I guess. Who else has DOJ indicted?
The states have indicted numerous people, a long list of TSF's inner circle, but DOJ has not.
Dana Nessel will make a fantastic US Attorney general in 2025.
