I've listened to Garland's apologists, and hope they're right, and I'm not a Harvard Law graduate, so I will allow that I don't have a comprehensive understanding of how indictments like this work, but I think two years, two years, has been plenty of time to work up a case that's as much of a slam dunk as this one appears to be. But if you're really concerned about the danger this orange headed fascist poses to democracy, then do something to stop it. Indict and hold him for trial.
And arrest every single Trumpie who even thinks about committing violence against this country to defend him.
