3. This investigation was started before the J6 congressional committee even got started.

So no. And something for all those Garland haters out there, he would have had to sign off on Smith filing his report just before the election, contrary to what the experts (media and otherwise) said he couldn't do. I do think SCOTUS and Trump's lawyers were counting on that because they too believe the milquetoast shit they read in the press. Why do you think SCOTUS waited for the last day of their term to release this. They were likely counting on Trump's lawyers to delay until it was within the "60 days". The delay on this prosecution has been the courts all the way through, from the privilege issues to immunity issues, full stop.
