That's the case where he was convicted of 34 felonies, and now no sentencing?

Guess we all knew it would happen if trump won. All the other cases will also cease to exist as the dictator and his cabal won't allow them to proceed...him being a sitting president now.

Boy, Garland really knew how to drag his feet just enough.
Jack Smith did all he could.
