6. You're changing the subject. You said Garland "couldn't get anything done".

Garland appointed Jack Smith in the summer of 23. Jack Smith promptly had Trump indicted on dozens of felony counts. Trump was arraigned. He had a trial set for May in 2024. Canon postponed it and then by July, she dismissed it. Had she not done that, he most assuredly would've been found guilty and faced prison.

I'm not a big fan of Garland dragging his feet, but your initial statement is not compatible with reality, not even a little bit.
