I guess Garland slowly building the case from the bottom up

which amounts to the same thing. But Garland never made any secret of his timidity, and unwillingness to stand up to these fascists. DoJ has always viewed themselves as having a special role to decide what is really right for Americans. And 999 times out of 1000, they go after the powerless, and leave the powerful alone. It is a bureaucracy. The rewards are in winning convictions. There are no rewards for taking on the hard cases where defendants can string things out for many years and throw an army of lawyers at the case.

And what we learned in this case is that intimidation works beautifully. A powerful person can tamper with witnesses, threaten the families of judges and lie continuously under oath and never face any consequences.
