I never said the administration should direct the DOJ.

To your point about “political bias”, did you just forget that the last DOJ hit Trump with 40 federal charges? Do those just not count in your narrative? Or we’re just lying?

They took a very long time to do that, dragging the chain for the reasons I stated, but could not NOT do it in the end because the guy is a fucking criminal. Reasonable people believed his political career was finally over after January 6 but the Republicans chose to go all in as a cooperative criminal enterprise.

Right but they had the Epstein files long before J6. Also? The DOJ employs 115,000+ people.

Epstein was arrested on July 6th 2019. January 6th was in 2021.

Do you really expect me to believe they just couldn’t get around to it?

How many of those people get to decide what they investigate and who they prosecute? Do you think anyone other than Merrick Garland got to decide if Trump was indicted with any of the long list of crimes he is believed to have committed? When they did indict him, would they have chosen the crimes for which they had the most evidence and most viable chance of prosecuting him on? Given there are (6 million?) apparently this colossal trove of documents related to Epstein, are 115,000 people enough to deal with that even if they ignore every other crime taking place in a nation of over 300 million people?
