Attorney General Merrick Garland said in an interview with CNN that he believes there should be a “speedy trial” in the election subversion case against Donald Trump, while also pushing back on allegations that his department is targeting the former president for political reasons.
How about how Garland sat on all the stuff outlined in the Mueller report and just let the statute of limitations expire while doing nothing? It’s pretty clear he intended to do the same with this stuff too, at least at first.
The difference between you and me is that in the complete and utter absence of any evidence whatsoever, your mind jumps to a conclusion that necessitates a greater leap in logic. I’m not making a suggestion either way, but rather recognizing that you and I are clearly not attorneys and have absolutely zero idea as to how long it takes to fact find, gather evidence, wait for lower court rulings and smaller fish to flip, get an independent council, and indict a former President with enough evidence so as to not make a mockery of justice.
There you go again, with wild speculation as to the motives of others. Shall I start doing the same? You just want this fairy-tale conspiracy theory that you understand and nobody else does and think you know better than the lifelong experts in this field. In that respect, you exemplify the Dunning-Kruger Effect and have just that much more in common with the maga movement than you may realize.
It’s a conspiracy theory to speculate that there is obstruction when you literally have zero fucking evidence whatsoever. So please proceed to pull out of your ass this string of incoherency.

“He doesn’t want to” isn’t a huge leap when he’s taking for-fucking-ever to get nothing done. Since all you’re going to do is gaslight and sling abuse, we’re done here.
You never gave any evidence of anything. You can’t even give evidence that he, “did nothing.” of course we’re done here. You’ve got nothing but the blind opinion you want to believe in and nothing further.
Like… Did you forget the January 6th House Committee hearings? You do realize their findings were forwarded to Garland and it would be in the interest of Garland to wait those hearings out, right…?
At least according to that article, they conflate stalling with treading carefully.
Naturally, the pursuit of charges against a former President of the other side does necessitate an abundance of caution to assure a legitimate witch hunt doesn’t occur. If Garland is introspective enough to recognize human fallibility, he’d likely ensure that he himself wasn’t fitting the data to see what he wanted to see.
Naturally these are unprecedented times and I think he made good moves so far, especially appointing Jack Smith.
it takes time to put things together.
Particularly when you don’t want to.
Source?
Edit: Yeah, that’s what I thought.

You expect him to actually come out and admit that the investigation was slow walked because he didn’t want to do it?
You’re just defending him because you like the lack of results.
I’m just asking for source as opposed to one’s complete and utterly blind speculation and conspiracy theories.
Your accusation as to my motives is equally blind as it utterly misses the mark as well.
You want a source that involves reading minds. Your assumption that he’s not dragging his feet is as baseless as my assertion that he is.
You’re just happy with his lack of action and want everyone else to be.
It’s not a conspiracy theory to withhold the benefit of the doubt.

I mean, there ARE sources… They’re just the Washington Post (paywalled) and the Nation (free to read):
