I fully expect the actual reams of evidence Garland and Smith gathered on Trump to be dismissed by the same DOJ critics [View all]

...who claimed all throughout none of it would ever result in indictments.

I thoroughly expect the deluge of 'Garland lost the election' canard to continue to obscure any discussion of the actual crimes and evidence of those crimes DOJ uncovered, if and when Jack Smith releases a final report.

What's more, I expect to see a wave of complaints if he doesn't let Trump fire him, ostensibly advantaging some idea of a later prosecution.

I expect this because that's what I experienced for four years of trying to highlight the work Garland's DOJ did since 2021 to secure evidence and make it available to grand juries by successfully defending it all through myriad, successive appeals all the way to the Supreme Court, including successfully fighting in several appeals courts with dozens of judges to have the attorney client privileges of Trump's top aides and attorneys removed so they would be compelled to testify and tell all they know.

All of that will be in a final report. I'll be surprised if it's not also obscured by the constant focus of ire on the people actually doing the job of collecting evidence and defending it.

I'm really looking forward to the accounting, but I'm expecting many of those same voices that diverted everyone they could from even noticing the product of all that work by a couple dozen of the best prosecutors in the nation, in favor of this silly expectation that all we needed to do was wait for the DOJ to win the election for us, to whinge until it's out of our focus.

Or even worse, complain that we can't advantage that fight against Trump with the clear and witness-corroborated evidence Garland and Smith spent their time gathering since 2021, because of the insistence from his many critics, which we all heard over and over, that they weren't actually doing all of that investigating that from the start.

I'm just a witness to the shitshow, now. Maybe a handful of people ever paid any attention to the DOJ efforts or evidence I posted, and I'm less and less willing to run that gauntlet of snark with my facts and legal developments.

Most were full of ridicule and dismissals, and silly suppositions that DOJ was supposed to win the election for us with ANOTHER multi-felony indictment other than the one he was just convicted of.

I mean, it will be kinda awkward to keep that falderal up in the face of clear evidence to the contrary, if we see a report. Can't wait to see what happens, if that happens.
