Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

You're mixing up him and Merrick Garland
Did the prosecutor wait to build an airtight case for 4 years before arresting Luigi?
Luigi did a direct act of homicide, whether you agree with it or not, its easier to prosecute when the act is obvious as firing a gun and having the entire act caught on camera, along with leaving a trail of evidence (assuming Luigi is the perpetrator, he could very well be a scapegoat)
Legal proceedings take a long time, and you need conduct an investigation and to collect evidence before the charges are filed in the first place, since trump did not shoot someone on CCTV that would be a clear cut act to charge, and that investigation in itself take a long time.
Merrick Garland in in charge of the DoJ, Jack Smith hasn't been appointed as Special Council until November 18, 2022, nearly 1 year and 10 months after Jan 6th. That's almost 2 years wasted and its only Merrick Garland's fault. It took until June 8, 2023 before there was enough evidence found to convince a Grand Jury to indict trump for the classified document mishandling case. And until August 1, 2023 before a Grand Jury indicted trump on the election interference case.
The judge presiding over the classified document mishandling case, Judge Aileen Cannon, a trump apppintee, keep delaying the case for ovee a year, until July 15, 2024, when she dismissed the case over BS reasons
For the election interference case, the matter of presidential immunity got to the supreme court and as you know, they ruled that presidents have broad immunity for "official acts", so the case now has to go to a circuit court to determine whether or not the election interference is considered an "official act"
Before the the circuit court made a decision, the election happened, and the rest is history.
TLDR: It was Merrick Garland's fault for wasting almost 2 years.
I think he's talking about Jack Smith in the show American Dad, Stan Smith's father. He was a jewel thief and ran out on Stan and his mother.
