• He walks into his office late January, 2021.
• They immediately begin what is literally the largest criminal investigation and prosecution in the DOJ’s history, going after Jan 6th insurrectionists.
• They continue getting confessions, plea deals, and building a bottom-up investigation that builds corroborating evidence

These under the constraints of:

• Federal judges including SCOTUS stacked with Trump-appointed corrupt judges.
• Garland going up against an organized crime syndicate with an entire party and propaganda apparatus and effectively unlimited money to put up in defense.
• A jury pool almost impossible to be untainted while Defense need only convince 1 idiot on the jury.
• Garland hands off to Jack Smith literally the day after Trump formally files to run for President again (again, to avoid technicalities on conflict of interest).

It seems very obvious to me that this was a classic bottom-up case you see similar to RICO cases in white collar or organized crime syndicates. Garland had to ensure his case was extremely tight given the nature of going after a former President and the courts.

Let’s instead blame:

• The courts who were ones proven to actually obstruct.
• The voters who many saw what happened and still chose to sit out or not vote.

I’d rather he have done it right and not get a verdict than rush it and Trump gets vindicated by a technicality or a Not Guilty.
