Summary
President Joe Biden highlighted his administration’s economic record, citing consistent job growth and a 2.7% inflation rate drop from its 2022 peak.
December’s jobs report showed 256,000 new jobs and declining unemployment, signaling steady economic growth.
However, inflation remains above the Federal Reserve’s 2% target, and interest rates remain high, impacting homebuyers and businesses.
Public pessimism lingers on affordability as Biden passes a largely strong economy to his successor, Donald Trump.
The investigation started immediately. The investigation had to complete before prosecution could start.
There were thousands of people involved with the January 6th insurrection. Each had their own case. Each case had its own witnesses and suspects and investigations. All this has to be managed while investigating the most powerful man in the country, Trump, owner of judges. This all had to finish before prosecution.
Why spread your misinformation?
Not misinformation.
The initial investigation by the FBI/DOJ specifically did not include Trump as a target. This was a purposeful omission, the justice department prioritized identifying and capturing 700 individuals who actually set foot in the capitol.
But as we all know, it’s possible for the justice department to do more than one thing at a time. They could have opened the second investigation into Trump’s involvement immediately, rather than waiting for all of the stooges to get plea deals. They didn’t. Five minutes of Googling could have told you that Merrick Garland did not open an investigation into Trump’s involvement (by appointing Special Council Jack Smith) until three days after Trump announced his intention to run for reelection in 2024. That was on November 18th 2022.
Make all the excuses you like for Garland, but he fucked us big time. The timing of the prosecution was extremely strategic and not coincidental. He waited until he knew that Trump would receive political cover in his reelection bid to start a real, earnest investigation. Republican swine looking out for one another.
Biden should have insisted that the investigation into Trump begin immediately. If he refused, can his ass and bring in someone with some teeth. Trump would be in prison right now if this had all begun in 2021.
A special counsel investigation was opened by U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland on November 18, 2022, to continue two investigations initiated by the Justice Department (DOJ) regarding former U.S. President Donald Trump.
Jack Smith was brought in to continue two investigations on Trump that had already been started long before.
Again you’re spreading misinformation.
Trump was not a target of the DOJ investigation until 2022, so whatever investigations took place before then did not include Trump as a key suspect in any criminal proceedings.
Again, you are the one who is misinformed.
I provided a source for my information. It comes with citations.
What’s the source for your claims?
Brother, your source backs up my claim, but hey, here’s another just in case. In the DOJ investigation related to Jan 6th (not the classified documents case), Trump was specifically NOT a target. The scope expanded in 2022 to also include DJT and his inner circle.
Meaning, of course, that for the first two years of Biden’s presidency, they were not actively investigating Trump’s role in inciting the mob that attacked the capitol, or his deliberate inaction when the situation became out of control and capitol police could not stop the mob from breaking into the congressional chambers.
Here is your claim:
Here is what even your sources states:
Don’t you read your own sources?
Okay, I edited my original post. I had the timeline slightly off in regards to which events took place and when, since both of those things occurred in 2022.
I consider your overall argument that Trump had been under investigation for January 6th from the very start to be thoroughly refuted at this point. It took two years for them to start - fact. Plenty of concrete evidence to back that claim up. Stop calling it misinformation.
Nope
On U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland’s confirmation as attorney general, the DOJ opened multiple investigations into events during the closing weeks of the Trump presidency.
That’s not what “immediately” looks like.
The immediate part is the section you left off:
Also not what immediately looks like.
