It was neither scotus nor voters job to prosecute the organizers of an attempted coup against the united states. Garland failed to uphold the rule of law and the ramifications will be catastrophic.

SCOTUS sat on immunity case for 7 months, then ruled immunity for Trump in July. What do you suggest Garland do?
Garland sat on his hands for 18 months before opening a formal investigation into J6 organizers. There is credible reporting on this that I recommend you familiarize yourself with. It's a little late for suggestions at this point but my suggestion would have been that Garland do his f*cking job.
It doesn't matter how early or late the indictment would come in. The SCOTUS would have delayed it till July. Don't you understand how does the deep state work?
What scotus did was predictable, as was trump's "delay" legal strategy. DOJ played right into their hands by failing to get ahead of it.
I mean, SCOTUS ignored the Constitution and allowed Trump to run despite being illegible.
How would you play against SCOTUS?
By treating it like the emergency that it was, moving swiftly to indict and making the crimes and conspiracies against the country public, including the fact that a scotus justice and his wife were involved in the coup. Are you really saying that Garland/DOJ couldn't have done anything differently?
And I guess you also missed all those cases in different states disqualifying Trump from appearing on the ballots and SCOTUS ignoring the Constitution and allowing Trump to run.
I guess you missed my question where I asked you if you are saying Garland and his DOJ couldn't have done anything differently? Are you going to address that one or are you just going continue to be an apologist for our abject failure of an attorney general?
DOJ had done everything possible. Not only DOJ, if you remember, there were plenty of cases seeking Trump being disqualified to appear on the ballot due to the Constitution. SCOTUS ignored the constitution and allowed Trump to run. There's really nothing DOJ could have done.
"There's really nothing the DOJ could have done" is absolutely pathetic commentary in regard to a president and sitting members of congress attempting to overthrow the government. There's no need to debate this further if that's what you think, because I can assure you we will never agree on that.
I guess you missed Jack Smith filing an emergency case with SCOTUS exactly a year ago asking to rule on immunity. And SCOTUS ignoring his request until February of 2024?
Exactly a year ago was November of 2023. I guess you missed the Willard Hotel meeting, where trump and his allies planned their coup attempt, that has been public knowledge since January 5th 2021? And nobody's criticizing Jack Smith - it was Merrick Garland that failed to move until it was too late.
