(7,555 posts)That Garland was simply the wrong man who thought we were living in a Pre Trump era.
He applied old school ideas of worrying about appearing non partisan and fair as if those things are rewarded anymore. He assumed being slow and methodical would build a case no one could dispute.
It was all fine 30 years ago but utterly stupid in the Trump Era. A younger, wiser AG would have known that the only path was swift and overwhelming. To capture the moment while the public still blamed him and cared about Jan 6th.
But he waited so long that people stopped caring about it and stopped blaming Trump for it. If the government isn't rushing over this, if they aren't actually charging him with inciting an insurrection then he must not have.
I don't want to be ageist, you need experience in government. But you also need vigor. The administration was filled with two many older and old school people and not enough younger, more vigorous folks in the right places.
It made the entire admin slow to react, slow to respond, and slow to recognize.
