(90,700 posts)...so apparently it didn't happen.
There wasn't a "whole chunk of time where he twiddled his thumbs and waited for Smith." That's pure fiction.
Smith inherited what was described as a 'fast moving investigation' with over 20 prosecutors who were defending the bulk of the evidence that became the indictment which was described as more than Mueller had at the point of his appointment.
Garland's team not only gathered the majority of the evidence in the indictment before Smith arrived, they defended it in myriad, successive courts all the way through his appointment and term.
Hell, Garland's Tom Windom was still in court right before we voted presenting the revised indictment.
You have a really distorted view of the prosecution and are connfused about who was actually prosecuting and when, who was investigating, and who the federal government relies on to make decisions about who and when to charge.
Your statements are provably false.
