      The raid was in August ‘22

      Trump left the WH in Jan 2020.

      They were storing nuclear secrets in his bathroom for over 2.5 years.

      Oh I like Jack.

      I’m pissed it took that long to get started

        I’ll copy my response from the other one: One could argue it’s an unprecedented situation where literally every loose end needs to be tied up to be absolutely airtight. Additionally I’m not sure how slow the action has been in comparison to other judicial situations, it’s not exactly a fast system.

        How/why would Smith have been appointed quicker?

      Smith, by all accounts, is fantastic, and is a legal Doberman in the best sense of the term.

      Garland is a piece of shit for slow-walking fucking everything. I wouldn’t be shocked if, in the future, it ends up being revealed that he was actually playing for the opposition.

      Biden was a fucking idiot for choosing him. As a history enthusiast, it’s a very similar vibe to how Andrew Johnson handled the Reconstruction - instead of directing the government to aggressively stamp out traitorous (as in, confederate rebel) elements in the south, it was softballed in the interest of political expediency (and because Johnson was a Democrat, at a time when the Democratic Party was essentially the conservative party, prioritizing state’s and (white) individual rights, as the GOP tends to do today).
