    How? Trump was charged with two major crimes under Biden’s DOJ.

    Also unless you’re a fascist like Trump you don’t sick your appointment to the US Attorney General position and DOJ on anyone, let alone a political opponent. Garland and the Smith indeed did investigate and ultimately charge Trump – but independently of some sort of Biden directive.

    They couldn’t bring it to trial because Trump had already previously stacked the courts, who blocked Smith at every turn.

    Edit: typo.

        It’s not; it just has to fall within the purview of the rule of law and also not jeopardize the trial by tainting the jury or getting the case thrown out.

        It’s still all moot because they in fact did charge Trump; the judges were just already stacked.
