Teixeira was arrested a month after they found out that documents were getting leaked online. They didn't even get a warrant to look for MORE classified documents after the first batch was found at Mar a Lago for seven months. They even had video of Trump goons moving boxes to evade searchers.
They knew Trump had documents, as some had been found and he was openly defiant of giving the rest back. They knew that he was moving them to try to keep them. And they still didn't try to get them for SEVEN MONTHS.
Teixeira; one month between DISCOVERY OF LEAK and ARREST. Trump: SEVEN MONTHS between the DOJ being confirmed to be aware Trump had 100% definitely stolen classified documents and even asking a judge to pretty please let them go pick them up from Mar a Lago, a place KNOWN TO BE swarming with spies
I'm not saying Garland should have broken the law. I'm saying Garland should have treated this case like he treated every case for anyone not named Donald Trump He didn't. He gave Trump pass after pass and please and pretty please and yes sir until he ran out of time because he was a fucking coward
Trump had much much much better attorneys than that other guy. And he received a lot of deferential treatment from the courts.
Deferential treatment from the courts. AND FROM GARLAND. That is literally, 100% my point.
Garland had to be very careful. He was not deferential.
The cops at Uvalde "had to be very careful." Doesn't mean they didn't fail.
You really believe some random guy is going to get the same treatment as a rich former President leading a fucking cult that is also one of the 2 major political parties in this country? Are you serious?
You keep very succinctly and correctly describing how Garland failed but still don't think it's a failure somehow.
Legally? Yes. That is what the law requires.
