Lots of MAGA insurrectionists (who Im assuming are republicans) are behind bars.
Trump is not, and that isnt due to any slow walking and milquetoast handling (your subjective opinions not supported by the facts), but is largely due to delays and obstruction by the courts.
As I said in another reply, pick your preferred AG- Schiff, Kirschner, Weissman, Yates, etc. and the outcome - no trial before the election- would have been the same.

Sorry, Garland concentrated on putting away a few small fish while trying not to look "political" to the big fish.

Too bad you weren't around to advise the civil rights leaders when they called out injustices in the 50's and 60's.

If Biden felt it was such a mistake to pick Garland, why didn't he fire him a couple of years ago?

I was a Garland supporter for the first year or two. What a major, total disappointment he is, even derelict.
