(93,321 posts)...Garland's man who began collecting evidence in the fall of 2021, Tom Windom, was still in court defending the evidence he collected against appeals when we voted.
Who looks at charges brought almost FIFTEEN MONTHS before the election and delayed by the Supreme Court right up until just before we voted, and blames the prosecutors?
Who is blaming prosecutors right now, for that matter, for prosecuting that people claim wasn't happening.
Where's your evidence to back up your claims?
Where's you evidence that the DOJ could have brought a case in 2023? Where is that brilliant document of charges. Where's the list? Where's the evidence that you claim was ready to be presented to a grand jury, which is what the federal government uses to bring charges forward?
Where's your proof that there was actual evidence available to be presented to a grand jury, not to mention to a court in 2023, not just internet babble?
Take a simple minute and read the Smith report which outlined the extraordinary number of appeals and challenges, most of them eventually successfully argued by Garland's team of prosecutors, even through Smith;s appointment.
Just saying that these things could have been done quickly isn't proof at all. Prove it. What you claim is absurd, and ignores so much that it's clear you have no idea what Garland's prosecutors were actually doing.
People like to tell me I'm some sop for Garland, but what I'm not is a patsy or dupe for seemingly uninformed, nonfactual claims about Garland and his prosecutors.
