I know you all think I'm defending Merrick Garland when I call people out for simply making shit up.
But this simply makes shit up. You all infantilize yourself by turning Garland into a conspiracy theory -- and you let John Roberts off the hook.

"The fact that Trump is now unlikely to ever face consequences for his crimes can be laid squarely at the feet of one man: Merrick Garland. He dragged his feet on prosecuting Trump, making it easy for him to run out the clock and escape accountability."

1) He conducted a coup using lawyers, encrypted apps, and the oval office, and each of those things added years to the investigation.
2) The press sucks royal ass and allowed him to lie with abandon about the charges.
3) John Roberts did grave damage.
4) COVID.
The single biggest problem the Dems need to resolve RIGHT FUCKING NOW is the circular firing squad bullshit. The instantaneous reaction to bad things happening despite our efforts CANNOT BE "the Dems plotted to prevent us from getting our unicorns" if we want to survive ANY of what's coming.
Well, the courts never got to decide cause it takes too damn long to do the right thing
You should be furious at the people who lied to you.
4/22-12/22: J6C causes unnecessary delays by hoarding transcripts
6/22-4/23: Executive Privilege fights
12/23-8/24: John Roberts tampers
The only thing that could have stopped Trump was the ballot box. Not SCOTUS, not the Senate, not Jack Smith.
We let ourselves down here.
Once you do that, I'd love to see you explain WHAT was weak or feckless.

18 U.S. Code § 2383 - Rebellion or insurrection
Did the little "Carterist" Garland think he could NOT beyond a reasonable doubt prosecute Donald Trump for 2383? <--- rhetorical
We needed a pit bull in that office, not a chihuahua.
His insistence on kowtowing to “norms” in the face of constant bad faith actions on the part of Republicans.
Appointing Robert Hur to investigate the Biden classified info.
He didn't kowtow to norms. He adhered to the Fourth Amendment. He approached the case in the only way it would possibly have survived.
Do you want end-to-end encryption? Well, you'll be glad it remains true that DOJ has to seize your phone to get good encrypted texts.
Was it frustrating that it went on so long? Absolutely. I’ll admit I was frustrated.
But I also subscribed to the thought that it was better to do it right than do it fast.
They had one shot. And even that wasn’t a guarantee
The 10 month privilege fight started in June 2022, after a 9 month privilege review of Rudy's phone. Both before Jan6C had their first substantive hearing.
The privilege review took 9 months because it takes several months to exploit a phone and far longer to review comms one-by-one.
How swiftly would the Republicans have appointed a special prosecutor if Obama had teamed up with Antifa to storm the capital?
You should be fucking furious at whatever lazy pundit told you that, bc it's an outright lie.

He didn't wait. Trump Declaring forced the action, the investigation was already in progress
which somehow didn't work with Judge Cannon, so i have no clue anymore which was the right thing to do.
