Last night Maddow Reminded everyone about this. It was not breaking news. [View all]

I have been posting about this for a long time. AG Barr/Trump sabotaged the DOJ. They sabotaged the NY investigations, the Mueller investigation and made it impossible for some of them to be re-opened. Many prosecutors resigned during this time in protest.

Bragg has now re-opened the case into Individual 1. A grand jury is in place. One of the prosecutors who resigned when Bragg shut the investigation down will be on 60 minutes this Sunday and Maddows show on Monday. Bragg may have reopened the case because there may be new evidence, just a guess. Recently the Trump Org was found guilty on 17 counts which may be a factor in Braggs decision.

Some people have been for a long time blaming Garland for this and that. When Garland took over the damage to the investigations were done. The damage to the DOJ was severe and Garland had to clean up the mess.
