    Meanwhile, anyone who has previously opposed him has stepped down or stepped away from their roles in basically full and utter shame after accomplishing nothing. Years of bluster and screaming about smoking guns, all swept away because they wouldn’t do anything. They wanted their role and positions of power, and when it mattered, retreated to be nothing more than a cowardly footnote soon to be deleted from history by the current regime.

    How to Ruin your Legacy 101: Written by Jack Smith, Merrick Garland, and Co.

      I don’t think Smith is to blame here. Garland 100% though

        Smith had his own shortcomings, but agreed not nearly on level with fuckin Garland. He was a face of the Trump opposition who also resigned without results or prosecution, though. The clock was on the wall, and whether or not it was moving too fast or too slow is neither here nor there. I don’t think we will remember the details of appeals or tactics used in time, but the result of the case and the return of Trump to power. Whether those details are lost or deleted remain to be seen.

          Biden could have given instruction to make this the highest priority and arrested Trump on day one, which is what he should have done. Trump committed treason at the highest level, and Biden normalized it.

            Instead they waited 3 years until after he’d already secured the Republican nomination to even file charges.

              All this fucking talk about DEI moral panic and yet these utterly fucking inadequate politicians get do-over after do-over because its “their turn”.

              Sick to my stomach over them.

          I wish he could have just moved forward unilaterally
