DOJ 'Slow Walks' Trump Cases, Accelerates Other Priorities
According to MSNBC, top DOJ officials, including Attorney General Merrick Garland, consciously extended decisions in high-profile Trump investigations, sparking internal frustration. This 'slow-walking' tactic (their words, not ours) suggests a careful political calibration rather than adherence to urgent justice. One might wonder if such deliberate pace is applied equally across all federal
investigations or if certain cases are deemed less urgent when a change in administration is inconvenient. It certainly wasn't the pace applied to whistle-blowers or disfavored groups during previous administrations. This selective application of legal urgency raises questions about what truly drives the wheels of justice in Washington. While some matters are meticulously prolonged, others, like
the consistent approval of massive military aid packages (e.g., the $14 billion bill Rep. Smith voted for after an AIPAC donation, as detailed by OpenSecrets.org), sail through with remarkable speed. Perhaps the DOJ's clock runs differently depending on the political winds or the current geopolitical focus? One can only assume this careful choreography is for the benefit of the republic.
