And Mitch McConnell was calling for the Dems to use the judicial and jail him for what he did.
Both the McConnell and McCarthy condemned Trump, directly for Jan 5th.
The only reason the Republi'cans' did not take out Trump was because they could not imagine the Dem's and DoJ would be so incompetent and feckless in doing it.
The Republi'cans' were desperately hoping the DoJ would take him out for them, so they could condemn it all the way and hope to inherit the Trump magat base. They knew if they took Trump down themselves, they would lose his hard core base and win back the party but not be able to win elections.
If Trump is to win, i think Garland has to get the bulk of blame. He has been a disaster as AG. He should have appointed at least one if not 3 Special Counsels to investigate so many aspects of Trumps criminality, within a month of taking office. Instead he waited until Trump declared and it is only because Trump declared historically early, thinking it would protect him, did Garland finally do it. He had every reasons to do it, from month 1 saying 'investigating the former POTUS requires a arms length approach'.
no one thinks Trumps DoJ, lead by Bill Barr would have been so feckless if that was the situation Trump faced from Obama, trying to stay in for a 3rd term.
I always thought that the reason democrats didn't go hard at Trump is that it would create considerable unrest and that it would be better to do everything to undermine and prosecute him and have the nation watch him lose an actual election rather than a one part hunt on a former president. The democrats in my opinion were more interested in getting the information to the public and letting them make a choice rather than prosecuting him.
