I blame Biden for Trump's second term. I truly believe the effort was to keep up appearances. We became a banana republic trying to not look like a banana republic.

It was two pronged - lack of sufficient aggression by prosecutors, but also MASSIVELY aggressive judicial maneuvering and excessive deference in his favor. Cannon + SCOTUS on classified docs was the worst, but there was stuff like that in every case.
The case against him there was a backboard-breaking slam dunk, but between Cannon and SCOTUS they indulged and stretched every possible delay, only to yank the case after they ran out the clock.
Don’t know why Smith didn’t try another jurisdiction (like Bedminster) or ask for her removal, but apparently that had just as much potential for delay and fuckery. It was like a football game where the ref was actually playing for one of the teams.
