The Washington Post is reporting what US Person knew all along: that Don Trumpilini was the head of a mafia-like conspiracy to steal the 2020 election and destroy representative government. Despite the accumulating evidence of his central role, timid Merritt Garland refused to investigate the former guy for more than fifteen months, until the political fallout became too adverse for him to continue to pay him deference.
His reasons were apparently fear of appearing to be partisan, and avoiding criticism previously leveled at DOJ for investigating Russian election interference and Hilary Clinton's private email server. In the weeks prior to January 6th, Trump minions boasted about submitting fake electors in his behalf, but the FBI did nothing. Even when the department finally got into action fifteen months later, agents were instructed not to use the T word. Nor was he identified as a focus of the investigation. Prosecutors chaffed at giving him a pass, while bringing the foot soldiers to trial.
The Amerikanischer Fūhrer [see below] is certainly now the focus of Jack Smith's prosecution and investigation, but a year has been lost to dubious inaction and the time when he will be protected from prosecution by DOJ's own misguided policy is rapidly approaching. If Merrick's failure to do his duty as the chief law enforcement officer of the nation results in defendant Trump escaping accountability for his autogolpe, the failure of the Republic will be on his shoulders.
