His justification is basically “This is too complex” and “It’ll take years in pre-trial.” Between the lines, nobody eligible to take the case volunteered to, and I think this guy assigned it to himself only because somebody needed to resolve it. He doesn’t want to do the work, either.

You have to admit.
It would have been pretty difficult to prosecute that crime since they had the actual crime recorded & the POTUS bragging many times on tape about committing the crime.

There was never positive coverage, even after she was cleared. What about the shooting of 4 members of the Minnesota legislature, or the son of a judge, Paul Pelosi. MTG talked about the death threats when she split with Trump?
