8. this is the truth

...but it won't withstand the opinionating of people who didn't and won't bother to read anything to determine the facts of the investigation.

Such laziness, and dishonesty with all of the ire directed at the people who were working through courts packed with republican judges and justices who were in complete control over the scheduling of hearings in their courtrooms.

And appeals didn't all run concurrently, making the process of making evidence collected as early as 2021 available to the grand juries which the federal government relies on to recommend charges stretch out for years.

There just wasn't a viable case ready to be presented to the grand jury in the period most critics claim DOJ should have moved to court. It's an absurd reading of events and the legal process, but stupidity and ignorance seems to trump everything these days.

Good for Litman for telling the truth in a community of misplaced blame which lets all of the judges and justices serving as Trump defense agents off of the hook. I'm sure they appreciate all of the misdirection away from their own complicity in keeping Trump from trial before we voted.

People should read the report and stop these dishonest attacks on the AG which are contradicted completely in Jack Smith's final estimation of the investigation and prosecution.

Litman recognized that continuing the lies about some inaction by Garland requires a complete disassociation from the facts outlined in the final SC report.
