The picture of a hesitant Justice Department runs contrary to the GOP allegation that the indictments of Trump were the product of a Democrat-led plot.

Acting on a mix of principle and caution, Justice Department officials under former President Joe Biden made a series of decisions that significantly delayed and ultimately may have hampered the federal criminal investigations into President Donald Trump, according to a new book.

The slow decision-making at the top of Attorney General Merrick Garland’s Justice Department affected two major probes into Trump after he lost the White House in 2020: whether he illegally possessed and obstructed the retrieval of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago residence, and whether he conspired illegally to overturn the 2020 election.

    Hey! Why did Biden NOMINATE A REPUBLICAN? Who then covered for other Republicans?

    Almost like there’s one party, and we ain’t in it.

      Because he was qualified and Biden wasn’t a partisan hack. Fuck off with the both sides shit, Dems suck but they aren’t comparable to the literal nazi republicans in the administration and honestly only stupid clowns think that. And Russian trolls.
