9. what I wrote is in evidence

...what you claim is not.

There's no evidence of foot-dragging, just people dissociated with the investigation making it up.

I'd like to hear where DOJ is to blame for anything, backed up with the proof. It would be easier for me to go there than to deny facts that I've seen with my own eyes and heard with my own ears.

I had hoped this report would make it clear to folks, but there's this stubborn illogic that persists which supposes the people working to hold Trump accountable, somehow, weren't.

The facts weigh overwhelmingly against that supposition or claim, for anyone willing to look at them and actually address them; in this report, for instance. That would be something. But it's been days now, and man, the critics are still repeating that untruth about Garland being inactive or delaying something.

...here are the facts I bring to the question:

Garland began investigating the Trump WH in 2021, extensively, including a year-long investigation into their finances.

....all of these perps challenged their subpoenas to appear and testify before the grand jury, and some key witnesses weren't available to the DOJ until at least 2023 when they were able to defeat the appeals before panels of judges.
