Acting on a mix of principle and caution, Justice Department officials under former President Joe Biden made a series of decisions that significantly delayed and ultimately may have hampered the federal criminal investigations into President Donald Trump, according to a new book.
The slow decision-making at the top of Attorney General Merrick Garland’s Justice Department affected two major probes into Trump after he lost the White House in 2020: whether he illegally possessed and obstructed the retrieval of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago residence, and whether he conspired illegally to overturn the 2020 election.
The kind of apologetics demonstrated in this comment is why we can't look towards politics for solutions towards the problem we as a people face.
There will always be a useful idiot ready to come in and make excuses for the failures of the Democratic party, of Democratic strategy, of the normalcy which is modern corporate cargo-cult neoliberalism. Democrats are never failures; they can only ever be failed.
And the acceptance of the normalization; this quaint framing that the Democrats are the good guys, goodie-twoshoes, rule followers (when the "rules" are largely just made up), and "just trying to do the right thing"; this constant willingness to excuse their perpetual failure: Its this kind of response to utter and complete vacuous nature of the modern Democratic party that makes political solutions to the problems our planet faces impossible to solve through political processes.
We're past the point where we can continue to blame Democrats for being failures. Its time to start focusing on the people willing to excuse and make excuses for their failures, since they are the barrier to making a sufficiently meaningful change to the Democratic party; this is necessary such that we can carve a political path forwards to creating meaningful positive change in the world.
