General Discussion

...the rest of the critics have done nothing but draft off what was described as some internal dispute that had nothing to do with the actual delay described in the Smith report, with judges and justices delaying the trial over a year after the indictments came down, most notably, the Supreme Court which deliberately held it up for months until right before the election before making a decision that caused the SC to revise the indictment.

They had no actual way yo know anything of substance about the investigation when it was ongoing. Neither Garland or Smith leaked anything, so they just made it up, leaving all sorts of things out; distorting others like some internal FBI dispute which changed nothing and affected nothing; and spreading this lie that the AG was inactive for a year (which I saw from a poster today, was actually 2 years).

It's been a flurry of uninformed and misinforming lies from people who had no access at all to the actual investigation, but talked like they were part of the team. No wonder so much of what they claimed is disputed by clear facts.

We all saw the SC bring an indictment with more than enough time to try Trump, but some are insisting on giving cover to the judges and justices who deliberately held the trial up until we voted as if Trumpers on the bench had any intention of letting this go to trial before the election.

Are folks really so naive as to believe the court system received these indictments with open arms? Did they just ignore the constant appeals with hearing dates set exclusively by judges and justices set far into the future, not to mention their eventual rulings?

You're using the result of their deliberate interference as a foil against the people actually working to get this thing to trial, having brought charges over a year earlier. Why are you blaming DOJ for the shithole court system?

Garland began investigating the Trump WH in 2021, extensively, including a year-long investigation into their finances.

....all of these perps challenged their subpoenas to appear and testify before the grand jury, and some key witnesses weren't available to the DOJ until at least 2023 when they were able to dispatch the appeals before panels of judges.
