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.
When the results clearly show incompetence, don’t fall for the administration’s mouthpieces that it was actually “integrity and thoroughness”.
Democrats use adherence to protocol to shield them from doing what they don’t want to do, and their primary motivation has always been shielding powerful people from consequences.
