There’s been much criticism of Merrick Garland for taking as he did to get where we finally are. But I see things a bit differently, based on how his Justice Department laid the groundwork for these new and novel charges against Trump. Read my analysis here:

Was Merrick Garland’s Approach Correct All Along?

I’m going to say something that might make me a bit unpopular. From where I sit, Attorney General Merrick Garland has taken a logical and reasonable legal path all along. How can I say this, though, given that January 6, 2021 is now more than two and a half years behind us, and ex-president Trump was only just this month charged with federal crimes such as obstruction of Congress and conspiracy?

@jaykuo in order to convict anyone you need to have all the proverbial ducks in a row. Amplify that by the fact that the DOJ is going after a huge political figure who is running for President next year, and has already called this a "witch hunt" and yeah I'm not upset it's taken this long. Lord knows if he gets acquitted on a technicality the Trumpers will go off.
