After all of the gaslighting about Merrick Garland

[bigtree]

20. pay attention?

...they're paying attention to the cases they're bringing.

You can't have a prosecution obsessed or even focused on political implications like they have that responsibility to determine the next president.

The entire notion is belied by the fact that Trump can still run for office if indicted, and be elected if voters make that happen again. This isn't some zero-sum, political enterprise. It's a federal prosecution, and the vast majority of the attention should be to get the case right, not speed it into court to satisfy someone's view of the consequences of an election.

Old enough to remember though, when this question was mostly predicated on whether Garland would allow an indictment in an 'election season.' That question is moot tonight. I'd think this indictment would generate a bit more deference to DOJ's judgment, but here we ARE.
