Summary
Merrick Garland’s failure to swiftly prosecute Trump for inciting the January 6th insurrection allowed Trump to run for president again in 2024.
Garland’s slow-walking of the investigation undermined the seriousness of Trump’s actions and normalized him as a Republican front-runner.
Garland’s inaction contributed to the current state of the republic, where Trump is poised to return to the White House.
Marric Garland didn’t even start the poccess until over 2.5 years after it happened.
for a better comparison, go with Jack Teixera- the Discord Leaks Guy. After they were discovered, it took all of a week to figure out his identity, arrest him, and secure further leaks.
It took over 6 months to get the documents back- when they knew exactly who had the documents. No investigation necessary. but he didn’t want to be “political.”
And by the way, those documents are literally damning evidence of violating several laws for which most Americans would be hanged.
Also, remember, they didn’t actually get them all back. Some of the worst secrets are still missing.
The leak occurred in 2022, he was indicted in 2023, and he was sentenced in 2024.
And he pled guilty.
What’s your point?
They discovered the leak in 23- about one week before he was arrested.
If you want to go back to when the leak occurred… that started fairly early in trumps presidency.
From the moment the leak was discovered, it took them all of a week to plug it and remove the culprit’s freedom. (Or did you think jack was free to kill around while they waited for an open court date?)
Actually, the important subpoenas started in April of 2021
This is what people don’t get. Garland started immediately. They don’t make big announcements when they start investigating criminals for obvious reasons. The issue is our legal system as a whole.
I’m curious where this narrative that the case only began in 2023 came from. Smith was appointed in November 2022 and the investigation doesn’t necessarily start when the public finds out or when the prosecutor (special or otherwise) is announced.
