"The [Jack Smith] report is a sad reminder of the futility of truth in the age of Trump and a subtle, yet still brutal, indictment of the Supreme Court’s unprecedented grant of presidential immunity."

@wdlindsy I think Marcy Wheeler's done a pretty good job of refuting the claim that Garland dragged his feet.
But Garland and Smith were up against a system that moves slowly, especially with Trump's own foot-dragging and his enablers on the bench, from Cannon all the way up to Roberts.
And, perhaps most disturbingly of all, an electorate that ultimately decided it was fine with putting him back into office.
