Martin, One point of clarification, Garland's failure to act was a consequence of his not being the right man for a prosecutor's job. The DOJ did not move forward with serious prosecution of Trump until the January 6th Committee humiliated them into doing something. Two years into the Biden term, the DOJ was already up against the clock. Garland is failing again by not releasing the full Jack Smith Report. I believe Garland's thinking is to preserve the case against the other Mar A Lago alleged conspirators. That case, of course, will be dropped by the incoming administration within the first week. The full Report should be released before it is lost to history. It seems Garland got the original appointment from Biden because Biden felt sorry that Garland was not posted to the Supreme Court because Mitch McConnell blocked him. Sadly, that did not mean Garland had the traits needed for Attorney General. Though I supported Biden, the appointment of Garland (and the failure to get rid of Dejoy at the Post Office) were historic shortcomings of the Biden Presidency.

I am consistently disgusted by all the behaviors and stupid disregard for any rule of law by this incoming administration. We are going to be governed (failingly) by a large group of reprehensible miscreants, rapists, thieves, and misogynistic shitbags supported and encouraged by a mob of feeble-minded, uneducated/poorly educated, or just purposefully ignorant MAGAts that don't know how to act in their own best interest. If we are lucky, they will self-destruct with minimal bloodshed. I hope that this will be the case.
