5. we're still left with the judges and justices who held up an indictment for 15 months

...republicans still on the bench poised to do even more to aid the person they deliberately kept from trial.

But some people can't do more to defend our democracy than blame the people who were working to hold Trump accountable, and that's a goddamn shame.

People who spent years bashing the prosecutors instead of figures like the Supreme Court who hijacked the court process already underway and superimposed their invented judgement to provide immunity from his crimes, promising even more protection for Trump from prosecution if and when a trial was completed, don't deserve to be listened to about justice denied.

They don't seem to be able to find the actual culprits here, much less defend anyone against them.

We're still being bombarded with this diverting from those judges and justices who were the actual ones who kept Trump from trial. Instead we're being treated like idiots as we're being sold this stupid lie that the people who worked until the election to prosecute Trump were somehow the ones responsible for ending it.

It's not only a pack of lies, but ones that only serve to keep people like Justice Roberts and his maga band of Trump defenders on the Supreme Court from blame for allowing an already convicted felon to escape trial.

Garland's gone, but the people who actually delayed an indictment from trial for 15 MONTHS are still there, likely rubbing their hands in glee every time they read one of these attacks on the people who were prosecuting them.

It's an actual shame, but this is presented as some sort of virtue to attack the prosecutors and excuse people like Alito and Thomas, pretending they would ever have let Trump go to trial before the election if only Garland had done something you imagine without any proof they could have done to get the judges to speed up their hearings on the endless, bullshit appeals.

It would be laughable if it wasn't such a sad delusion that presented by critics, complete with mocking the prosecution for the successful judicial interference.

Here you have a poster using this canard to blame DOJ for Trump winning the election, despite that he was already a convicted felon, and that none of the charges prevented Trump from running for president and being elected, even from jail. People who couldn't be bothered to show up and vote, over 7 million less than the last election against Trump, are the ones to blame.

DOJ wasn't in charge of winning the election for Democrats. People constantly scapegoating the ones who were prosecuting Trump right up to the election are attempting an illogical hat trick which is Orwellian on its face, but so blatantly obvious in its sophistry that it's become surreal.

Nothing DOJ did was going to be enough to keep this maga majority Supreme Court from blocking a Trump trial before we voted. It's negligent and naive to even imagine that was going to happen, give the novel interference we witnessed from them, and their promise to continue their defenses until Trump was absolved of jeopardy for his crimes in office.
