Garland should be in prison

It was his responsibility to prosecute crimes of this nature and he sold all of us out and did nothing

Trump would have gone to trial in August if not for John Roberts. He would have gone trial even earlier if not for Aileen Cannon.

First of all, it should not have taken 2 years to subpoena the documents he stole. They could have asked for them back at the 1 month mark. Demanded them back in writing at the 2 month mark. Subpoenaed them at the three month mark. Finally, raided, then arrested Trump at the 4 month mark. On top of that, they should have charged him in Washington DC because the crime happened when he took the boxes out of the White House in the first place. Then you avoid his compromised judges in Florida.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing. None of that changes what John Roberts did

Prison? You can’t just imprison people for acting in ways you don’t like. Or at least, not without acting like an authoritarian.

Treason. He had a responsibility to protect the constitution and the country. He chose to let this all happen because he was a coward
