Federal prosecutors moved Monday to abandon the classified documents case against President-elect Donald Trump in light of longstanding Justice Department policy that says sitting presidents cannot face criminal prosecution.

Making this about Pam Bondi is deflection. Garland had several ‘layup’ level prosecutorial opportunities to bring Trump to justice: he could have just arrested him on day one. Pam Bondi even being in this conversation is a direct result of Garland’s failure to act decisively and his role in enabling a slide toward authoritarianism.
The dismantling of democracy wasn’t empowered under Trump: this was Biden’s doing. We’re not fucked because of Republicans: We’re fucked because of Biden and Democrats. They slow walked prosecutions/ made grave and frankly obvious strategic errors. It was all about decorum for them: maintaining the trappings of justice with no real action.
Pam Bondi has nothing to do with the failing of the Biden justice department other than being the inevitable outcome of justice deferred and justice delayed. So maybe its a matter of semantics, but who is more vile: the devil, or the tragic enabler who invites them in and then sets the table for them? The unwitting accomplice who was only ever interested the trappings of justice? The devil is simply doing what is in their nature and is not lying about who they really are; Merrick Garland on the other hand…
Merrick Garland was charged with stopping the march towards fascism in its tracks, and being the last firewall against the fall of democracy in the US: his character was found lacking.
How did I know you would accuse me of whataboutism?
How does that make the performance of other Attorneys General “deflection?”
Please support your claim that Merrick Garland was a worse AG than A. Mitchell Palmer.
I find your claim that Biden is worse for democracy than Trump because he failed to stop Trump from being terrible for democracy to be ludicrous on its face.
Biden is worse for Democracy because he occupied the space where real resistance needed to happen. We only get so many bites at the apple, and Biden through any real chance at stopping fascism in the trash. He did not take the threat seriously.
Trump is worse for democracy because he will occupy the space where we will most need a non-fascist who is not trying to overthrow democracy to be.
