31. Garland has already failed.

trump should have been indicted IMMEDIATELY on ten counts of obstruction of justice when Garland took office. You couldn't get away with it, I couldn't get away with it, trump got away with it.

And then I'm very much in the corner that "justice delayed is justice denied". trump has already escaped two years of punishment in each the insurrection and Mar-a-Lago documents cases.

Garland is a failure. I have zero confidence that he will do the right thing going forward because I have seen looking back that he's been incapable or unwilling to do the right thing.

I've yet to see those so quick to defend the DOJ state whether they think trump will be indicted. CivicGrief Feb 2023 #12

I do not believe the DOJ will indict him for institutional respect bullshit. The GA DA and NY AG ZonkerHarris Feb 2023 #13

I have more faith in the state investigations as well. CivicGrief Feb 2023 #15
