Yes, you are correct. Garland must act now before Trump declares his candidacy for POTUS. If he doesn't and Trump declares, Trump will sue saying a political candidate is immune to prosecution or some such hogwash and then this will be mucked up in the courts. Garland must do his job or be replaced by someone who will. I , for one, am sick and tired of dicking around with Trump. If he is guilty or not , he must be given his day in court. This has gone on far too long.
I don't think treason against America protects someone running for POTUS. How could they have a right via our democracy when they are anti-democracy? Not happening in this country. Go Merrick, after Thursday, show us some muscle against authoritarianism.
Trump is betting it will. He’s shown us how toothless our “laws and norms” really are. Everything is ok for rich white men. Again, no action has stopped him, nor his ilk. He knew we would dissolve into a navel-gazing puddle trying to hold him accountable. That’s his joy. And the frenzied joy of his supporters. “Owning the Libs!” They just laugh and laugh. Democracy? What Democracy? Who need Democracy when it’s YOUR strongman in charge?
Mucking things up in the courts is his greatest joy and he is good at it, if he can still find a lawyer to work for him ( no pay). 2024 will come and go with many court actions still pending.
Well put. It is time for Garland to go directly at the inner circle that gave us this mess. Well overdue in fact, it has been 18 months gone by.
I thought I was replying to your message - I don’t know what I did wrong. I’ll see if I can cut paste then delete.
Wow. This got complicated!
Edited to add:
I agree. This monster needs to be slain swiftly and in a manner so as to ensure a clear warning to any other considering traitorous behavior.
That this is dragging on and on is a DANGEROUS feed to apathy, a trait too many of us practice. The DOJ silence is deafening already. Ugh.😳

That’s it in a nutshell: planning to overturn a lawful election IS treason, and announcing a candidacy does not grant immunity.
