Sitting on your hands and hoping it will all just go away for a year is not avoiding a half-ass rush job, it gave criminals time to attempt to destroy evidence and intimidate witnesses

In the weeks before Jan. 6, Trump supporters boasted publicly that they had submitted fake electors on his behalf, but the Justice Department declined to investigate the matter in February 2021, The Post found. The department did not actively probe the effort for nearly a year, and the FBI did not open an investigation of the electors scheme until April 2022, about 15 months after the attack.

The Justice Department’s painstaking approach to investigating Trump can be traced to Garland’s desire to turn the page from missteps, bruising attacks and allegations of partisanship in the department’s recent investigations of both Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election and Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server.

The FBI themselves have said the investigations were hamstrung.

Don’t be so quick to dismiss people pointing out OBVIOUS problems. It makes you look rather stupid. The government failed to respond to literal sedition and secret documents theft and dissemination. For years. More than thirty months.

How quickly did they arrest that goon in OR/WA that leaked a few documents, let alone boxes upon boxes? This has been nothing but a national embarassment, and the Republicans keep helping him!
