he took office.

There didn't have to be a special prosecutor. If he had, without waiting tow years to finally appoint a Special Counsel, we all saw trump incite a riot and tell the crowd to go to the Capitol or they wouldn't have a country anymore. Then he watched it on TV hoping it would succeed.

That was a violation of his oath to defend the nation and the Constitution. Watching it unfold was also dereliction of duty to do the above.

trump was/is guilty, we all saw it. If Garland had begun the prosecution of that guilty traitor immediately, he would've been tried, convicted and jailed (as he was of the 34 felonies in NY, at least tried and convicted) way before the Supreme court got involved, and way before their immunity ruling BS.

So again, give it a rest. Federalist Society member Garland is the worst AG of our lifetime, and maybe a republican mole, judging from his slow-moving, ineffectual tenure that failed to convict treason the whole nation witnessed.

End of story. This whole OP is also bs.
