    Trump should already be in prison & would be if Merrick fucking Garland didn’t drag his feet for two years.

      Merrick Garland is still the current US Attorney General, and was the one who appointed Jack Smith as the Special Counsel, so how is this relevant?

        Because if Garland hadn’t dragged his feet and refused to allow the DOJ to investigate this in a timely fashion, we could already be into Trump’s appeals by now. Garland has only reluctantly allowed this prosecution to go forward, and only because Democrats in Congress forced his hand by revealing to the public just how strong the evidence is of Trump’s criminal culpability.

        We shouldn’t have had to wait this long for this to come to trial.
