I'm not much of a conspiracy theorist, but I suspect that the Democrats intentionally pressured to delay those prosecutions with the following idea, "If we wait until the last minute, then these prosecutions of crimes, which we 100% know Trump is guilty of, will torpedo Trump's presidential chances, and the Republicans won't have any time to boost a different candidate."

I think they didn't expect that the most slam-dunk case, the classified files case, would be pulled by one of the most outlandishly corrupt pro-Trump judges we've ever seen, Aileen Cannon.

I don't care why they did it. It was either the wrong call or an unforced error. One that we are paying for.

Either that, or they thought letting Trump run again would make their candidate a shoe in, so they wouldn't have to try at all and could run a "Status Quo, everything is fine so nothing is going to change" candidate.

Either way they put their own desires for power above law and order.

I sincerely disagree with this. I think Merrick Garland genuinely viewed his role and himself as "separate" from or "above" politics and totally disregarded the threat Trump because of that. This is honestly more in line with previous DOJs as far as political impartiality, however he was not what we needed in that moment.

Know what else would do that? A deep dark military prison cell he's never allowed out of, or a firing squad.
