The picture of a hesitant Justice Department runs contrary to the GOP allegation that the indictments of Trump were the product of a Democrat-led plot.

For months, investigators would have to wait to issue subpoenas or interview witnesses to gather new information,” the authors write, adding that Garland “had chosen to impose a very conservative interpretation of what DOJ officials called the 60-day rule,” urging prosecutors to avoid taking public investigative steps within two months of Election Day that involve candidates in that election.

    I read the conversation. I’m asking if this is the part of the equation you want to focus on. It seems pretty irrelevant to me, especially considering the fact that you could very easily argue that all the climate change mitigation Biden managed to push through is more than offset by the damage Trump is currently doing, and his election is a direct result of Biden’s failure to protect democracy. Either way you look at it, Biden screwed the pooch.

      Yeah in this one comment on this one post this is the part of the equation I want to focus on. Anything is better than nothing, and most people (doomers) don’t seem to understand that anything done is going to help vs doing nothing.
