The picture of a hesitant Justice Department runs contrary to the GOP allegation that the indictments of Trump were the product of a Democrat-led plot.

For months, investigators would have to wait to issue subpoenas or interview witnesses to gather new information,” the authors write, adding that Garland “had chosen to impose a very conservative interpretation of what DOJ officials called the 60-day rule,” urging prosecutors to avoid taking public investigative steps within two months of Election Day that involve candidates in that election.

    They were the biggest because they were paused most of Trump’s years…

    trump’s were going to be shitty, so Dems wouldn’t vote for them.

    So Bidens should have been over 4 times normal to make up for it…

      Renewable energy tech wasn’t mature enough during Obama or Trump 1 to become economically competitive. Regardless of how you want to frame it, it’s still true.

        Regardless of how you want to frame it, it’s still true.

        Well, you’re literally only caring about how big the total number… But now just the “energy tech” mattered?

        By that total cost metric, republicans wanted it to be higher, so are you mad it wasn’t?

        Like, if the only metric we care about is the total cost…

        Biden rejected multiple ones for being too high, so your argument that he should get credit for how high it was when he was the one that lowered it…

        Just doesn’t make sense. But now you’ve already committed to that being all that matters, are you going to just pick a new one and insist that’s all that matters and somehow Biden gets all the credit?

            but it’s not important enough to keep going with you

            So…

            The only reason you replied to my hour old comment, was to tell me that you don’t want to reply anymore?

            Buddy…

            In that scenario you just don’t make the comment, I don’t need a notification from someone that I won’t get another notification. I assure you no one is waiting in baited breath to hear back
