76. Since the January 6th insurrection happened in 2021, the DOJ would/should have begun

their investigation at that point. Meanwhile and concurrently the house committee started handing over evidence to the AG as early as Dec 2022. And yet Trump was not indicted until around August of 2023 - almost 2 1/2 years after January 6th. Leaving on 15 months until the 2024 election and the delays/appeals etc. Which I quite sure was anticipated. That is not even counting the other offenses.

I remember the "give him time, give him time" over and over by almost everyone thinking surely they would do something and yet nothing.

Of course, I am no lawyer but when I see how the DOJ is operating now, it begs the question...was it important to make sure that this psychopath would never get close to the WH again?

I do think that now as we witness the destruction of our Democracy, it is fair to say that Garland could and should have done a better job. Not to say it would have mattered, but might have?
