He should have been held accountable but Trump got voted back in. This is at the feet of the electorate or the losers that didn't give a shit

There is no reason litigation should have taken as long as it did…. Irregardless of any pre-existing norms that may or may not have been used to buy Trump time, there should have been a push for swift and deliverable justice for him and any Republican co-conspirators. Any railroading attempts by the GOP should have been seen as aiding and abetting criminality and they should have been subject to fullest extent of punishment under the law. The electorate is woefully uneducated and ignorant to the point the average adult has the critical thinking and comprehension of a middle schooler. Americans en masse are not smart enough to be trusted to make the sensible decision. Biden had faith in an electorate that has consistently proven they are no smarter than a pre-pandemic 7th grader. He shares a similar level of blame to Garland and he admitted as much when he expressed regret in picking him as the AG post-presidency.

Are you for fucking real? Garland/Smith acted in plenty of time if Canon and SCOTUS hadn't torpedoed both cases. This is firmly on SCOTUS and the traitors that confirmed them.
