Summary
Democrats blame Attorney General Merrick Garland for delaying prosecution of Donald Trump over the January 6 Capitol attack, allowing him to win reelection before facing trial.
Critics argue Garland wasted critical time before appointing a special prosecutor in late 2022, enabling Trump to evade accountability due to DOJ policy barring prosecution of sitting presidents.
While Trump faces ongoing civil lawsuits, his return to power threatens pardons for convicted rioters and continued revisionism about the attack.
Despite public disapproval of Trump’s actions, he successfully leveraged misinformation to regain the presidency.
Technically he is barred from holding office. He’s was shown to incite the Jan 6 insurrection in Colorado as a matter of fact.
The US Supreme Court said that Colarado couldn’t prevent him from running, it would be up to congress to reject him.
Of course congress won’t, but they are totally within their rights to do so now. Other people have been barred from holding offices over it.
