...most high profile prosecutions are complicated.

People selling the notion that this was to be an easy or assured process have been proven wrong, by the perps, judges, and justices who delayed this prosecution until we voted.

As Smith says in his report, 2023 was plenty of time to try Trump, but he got special consideration from the judges and justices which denied the people his day in court.

To neglect to blame the judges for delaying an indictment that dropped in August 2023 is just weirdness. Instead there's this convoluted reasoning that there was a completed investigation ready to present to a grand jury the minute Garland came in.

I get how opportunistic to the misinformation that ir was Garland who refused to indict earlier, but that's not how the process works, and it's at odds with what the Special Counsel outlined in his report about the myriad appeals which not only delayed the case, but prevented the evidence and testimony that a team of a couple dozen accomplished, career PROSECUTORS had gathered from as early as 2021 from being available to DOJ to present in any grand jury.

So it's just sophistry to claim they could have moved into court, when Smith himself has outlined key evidence like witness testimony and which wasn't even available until 2023. Refusing to read the report and accept its findings allows people to persist in these obvious distortions of the investigation and misrepresent who was actually responsible for holding up an indictment ready to go August 2023, until it was made moot by voters in November 2024.

People must think we're too stupid to recognize that garland and Smith landed the indictments with plenty of time to complete a trial. We all saw the Supreme Court engineer their hearings to move the decision close to the election and months into the future.

Refusing to call that out isn't some virtue, it's a serious fault in the 'Garland late' and the 'Garland bad' refrains which only serve to divert from the people responsible for holding up the trial for over a year.

It's negligent and weirdly diverting from the actual culprits, but nonetheless, people pointing this out, including Jack Smith, are to be the subjects of derision? You're ignoring the actual perps and their enablers and pointing fingers at the cops prosecuting them. It's perverse reasoning and just factually wrong.

You should read the report before engaging people with things refuted in it.
