Nah. They engaged in textbook bottom-up investigation knowing they'd be prosecuting a former president and going up against stacked courts.
The stacked courts delayed everything. Would've happened regardless; the only difference is if Garland/Smith rushed, they might risk a lack of corroborating evidence to convince a jury or lose on technicalities.
As much as it pains me to say it, I'd rather this than a jury returning a Not Guilty.
The biggest bullshit post-election is this scapegoating Garland. That we knew Trump was a convicted felon and pending 3 other trials and still voted for him is kind of a bigger problem.
