2. Biden spent the first year calling Trump The Former Guy

He thought he was in the rear-view mirror. It was wishful thinking and awful politics.

Biden appointed a cautious AG and then he himself showed no urgency about going after Trump. So we shouldn’t be surprised that Garland only picked up the pace when the House started holding J6 hearings. The buck doesn’t stop with Garland on the question of who made Trump’s return possible.

Agree mr715 Jan 2025 #14

No, it doesn't. Biden bears responsibility as well. lees1975 Jan 2025 #19

it's a falsehood that "Garland never showed urgency about going after Trump" bigtree Jan 2025 #38

If there had been any urgency at all, this would have been tried before the mid-term elections rolled around. lees1975 Jan 2025 #42
