He didn’t appoint special counsel to look into this until last November. Worse even than that: Garland didn’t even file obstruction of justice charges based on the Mueller report, which was basically a ready-to-file indictment as written.
Remember, this was the most egregious case of Obstruction in United States history. This was a president firing the FBI director BECAUSE the FBI director was trying to find out if the Russians who helped Trump influence the election were actively conspiring WITH the president!
This was outrageous obstruction to cover up crimes that might realistically include TREASON, to say nothing of conspiracy against the United States.
And Garland did NOTHING. And he let the statute of limitations toll, and now we can’t even charge Trump for this.
Because Merrick Garland is grossly incompetent.
