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.
I get the frustration, but just because Trump has found ways to game the system, doesn't mean throwing the system out, is going to be any better. Once both sides abandon the rule of law, then there is nothing left to keep shit from going way off the rails.
So, unless you are fully prepared to go to actual war to solve your problems, the legal system is still your only option. And despite what you might think, that system has been holding him back this entire time. He is losing far more cases in court than people realize. It's just that the media covers his wins more than his many losses...because his wins are scarier. And scary gets more clicks. And even when most of his wins get quickly overturned again, they simply don't get talked about anymore.
The bottom line comes down to "what kind of country do you want to live in?" One where whoever is in charge at the moment can just unilaterally declare their enemies to be criminals and summarily punish them, without due process...or one where you have the right to defend yourself in court against that kind of tyranny. If your solution to Trump, is to just be more like Trump, then all you're really doing is fighting for a system exactly like the one he wants.
If you want a system that stands in opposition to his methods, then you can't just use his own methods to oppose him.
