to prosecute?
What a terrible black mark on an otherwise highly successful Presidency, full of remarkable achievements.

(25,416 posts)sent 4 criminal referrals to Garland;
1. Steve Bannon
2. Peter Navarro
Garland prosecuted Bannon and Navarro for blowing off J6 subpoenas. 4 month jail sentences.
3. Kenneth Chesebro
4. Mark Meadows
Garland shit canned those referrals. The excuse I heard here was because of discovery. Meanwhile the J6 committee and other investigative reporters were reporting all of the crimes that were done in the open anyway.
The Michigan AG sent her US Marshall a criminal referral for her fake electors.
Garland shit canned those referrals. I was told here that Lisa Monaco said she would "look into the fake electors". The problem is that I watched and listened to Lisa Monaco on TV. Monaco said she would investigate the referral.
Nessel waited 1 year for Garland and then opened the prosecution herself.
Those are the criminal referrals that Garland ignored.

(25,416 posts)was a smoke screen to not investigate any of Trump's inner circle.
The unwashed Magats who attacked the Capitol didn't flip on anyone but themselves. This is why the J6 committee sent the Meadows criminal referral. Meadows was the middle man between Trump and the Hotel command center, Meadows kept Trump's hands clean.

(56,752 posts)He worked slowly and did just enough work to make us believe at first glance that he was actually doing something... He had me fooled too -- I was telling my friends and relatives that Garland was being methodical and making sure his case against Donnie was 100 percent airtight and unfuckwitable because the last thing we wanted was for him to skate on a technicality. By the time we realized he wasn't planning some grand chess endgame and everything was a mirage, it was too late.
DUers need to start connecting the pieces... The more I look at everything that's happened with the courts and rulings these past four years and Donnie winning all these absolutely unwinnable cases (ESPECIALLY that Trump appointed judge who intentionally fucked up and stalled his stolen top secret documents case), the more I'm starting to believe that the fix was in from the start and Donnie seizing power again was as inevitable as the sunrise...
The entire judiciary is corrupted by Trumpism.

(6,104 posts)Making sure Trump bore the consequences for inciting an insurrection should have been top priority at the DOJ. And when it became clear that it wasn't, changes should have been made at the top.
