...and wants to give taxpayer money to?

It's actually Garland's critics who bear responsibility because they NEVER bothered to elevate the actual prosecutions, dismissing the prosecutions of the people Trump has pardoned as 'foot soldiers' while falsely representing to everyone they could gaslight that there wasn't an ongoing prosecution, refusing to allow actual details of the prosecutions to get more attention than their own ignorant complaints about a prosecution they could only criticize.

Who was bashing the prosecutors at the same time Trump and republicans were attacking them?

Where is the opposition to the courts which deliberately delayed the unprecedented amount of challenges and appeals to evidence that had been gathered since the fall of 2021?

Where is the opposition to the Supreme Court not only delaying their decision to negate many of the charges until right before we voted, but invented immunities that specifically lessened Trump's obvious criminality under laws that had stood for decades?

Just this sophistry. Brilliant.

The 'ass-out' defense, instead of the offense against the actual perp they were prosecuting that was lacking before we voted. You could have been highlighting their findings and progress to voters, instead all critics did was drag the prosecution in concert with Trump (this new domestic abuse thing where people find it easier to bash their own, instead of the people actually harming them).

Now the same shit. This time, conveniently dragging Garland, diverting from and actually discouraging any defense of the prosecution as the WH moves aggressively to discredit it. Neat.

Who is attacking Trump's prosecutors today, at the same time Trump is literally trying to jail them for the prosecutions and investigations critics claimed all along wasn't happening?
