‘Fatal Mistake’: Democrats Blame DOJ As Trump Escapes Accountability For Jan. 6

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING WASHINGTON ― After a mob of his supporters attacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, it looked like Donald Trump’s political career was over. “The evidence the Jan. 6 committee used was available from the beginning.” “Had they proceeded with those prosecutions, I think he would have been convicted and we’d have a different president now,” Nadler said. The Washington Post reported last month that President Joe Biden has expressed regret about picking Garland, believing the nation’s top law enforcement officer took too long to pursue Trump after Jan. 6. “I really worry that, you know, he’ll become president, and he’s going to pardon a bunch of people and great sort of whitewashing of what happened will continue.” Other Democrats were more charitable toward the Justice Department, noting that ― unfairly or not ― Trump was reelected with a popular-vote win over Vice President Kamala Harris even in spite of his role in the Jan. 6 attack and his efforts to fraudulently overturn an election. Roughly two-thirds of the people who voted in the 2024 election believed Trump had “a lot” or “some” responsibility for violence on Jan. 6, according to exit polls.
