Acting on a mix of principle and caution, Justice Department officials under former President Joe Biden made a series of decisions that significantly delayed and ultimately may have hampered the federal criminal investigations into President Donald Trump, according to a new book.

The slow decision-making at the top of Attorney General Merrick Garland’s Justice Department affected two major probes into Trump after he lost the White House in 2020: whether he illegally possessed and obstructed the retrieval of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago residence, and whether he conspired illegally to overturn the 2020 election.

    No. Democrats not listening to their constituents is what got us here. People not showing up to vote because they assumed their vote didn’t matter, is what got us here. We outnumber them by millions. If every one of those people had shown up to vote, Trump would be in prison right now, without a single drop of blood shed.

    But, if you think violence is the only solution to all this…then you are no different than any of Trump’s thugs. Because that’s their solution to everything.
