So Garland spent 4 years prosecuting the low hanging fruit for Jan 6th

[Fiendish Thingy]

35. Trump was charged with unlawful *retention* of documents

Not unlawful removal or unlawful possession of classified documents, but the willful retention of those documents after an evidence trail was created showing he was informed of the crime, had the intent to commit the crime, and in fact, committed the crime of retention, after he had left office.

Proving unlawful removal would be difficult, if not impossible, just as it was with Biden and Pence. Proving unlawful possession only slightly less difficult, for the same reasons Biden and Pence were not charged.

Even if Garland had obtained a conviction on the retention charges (assuming the immunity ruling and Judge Cannon didn’t get in the way), and even if Trump had been sentenced and incarcerated before the election, that wouldn’t have prevented Trump from running and serving as president.

The same is true for the J6 charges.

Scapegoating Garland is a too easy, illogical, and ineffective coping mechanism for this election loss.
