23. The Garland DOJ did its job, so why should it even be on the hook? There's WAY more evidence that it shouldn't be at all

The Garland DOJ never could speed up the grand jury work. Garland DOJ could never speed up the courts' schedules or delays on pre-trial rulings. And then the Jack Smith team, no matter how constantly he invoked the the "speedy trial" law, it was always ignored. Why? Because there were the endless due process motions filed beyond "sufficient" level that can delay court cases before trials.

And then major defense motions got appealed, and went up the appeal ladder all the way to the Maga SCOTUS, that delayed even hearing every single appeal for months from the DOJ. Months. Those delays added up, and are in no way the Garland DOJ's fault.

Lisa Rubin on MSNBC flatly stated that even were there trials and convictions this year, appeals would have been held up by Maga SCOTUS until after the election. So no matter how fast you think Garland could have investigated, no matter how many months sooner Smith filed his indictment, all the above would have still played out, and we'd still be without convictions this year.

The Garland DOJ -- biggest law firm in human history -- has done a massive and great job enforcing both domestic and international justice.
