Summary
In his final hours as president, Joe Biden issued preemptive pardons to Dr. Anthony Fauci, retired Gen. Mark Milley, and members of the Jan. 6 Committee, aiming to shield them from potential retaliation by the incoming Trump administration.
Trump has hinted at targeting those who opposed him or investigated his actions.
Biden stressed that the pardons do not imply wrongdoing but protect reputations and finances from politically motivated investigations.
This unprecedented move reflects concerns about threats to democracy under Trump’s return to power.
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.
