This reminds me of religion, in that there are people who spend lifetimes praying and looking to something in their imaginations to save them from the reality of their lives.
In this case, the DOJ has nothing to do with winning elections, this one so critical to their finishing the indictments they brought.
They did their work. The election was our job to ensure a legal process would continue through the election - one which most legal observers expected would last for two to three years in certain appeals AFTER conviction.
Look it up. It's a canard to claim it could have wrapped up sooner, especially witnessing the already withering amount of challenges to evidence, privilege, and standing that delayed the case for years after evidence was seized.
You can't narrate the story of this investigation and indictment by leaving out the details of the scheduling of myriad hearings in appeals courts with dates often set by Trump or republican appointed judges who obligingly set hearing far in the future to accommodate the obstruction of the perps and co-conspirators until time ran out.
It was always our responsibility to make certain the legal process would continue beyond the election by keeping the already convicted felon out of office.
How do I know the epilogue? There is no law preventing any charged or convicted felon from running for the presidency or winning and assuming office, even from jail.
This was always OUR responsibility, not DOJ's. who did their jobs and followed ALL of the evidence to the recommendation by two grand juries of two historic, multi-felony indictments.
