The problem I have is they keep telling us Trump is an existential threat to Democracy (I agree) but then not act like it. What was the justification for waiting 2 years for the special counsel? Why didn't the Democrats call witnesses for the Jan 6th Impeachment? Why wasn't there a Committee on Jan 6th for the enablers within Congress who are still there? Where were the Kushner-Saudi $2 Billion hearings? Ivanka getting Chinese trademarks hearings? Senate has been theirs the whole time. House was there for the first two years. Dems have gone along with a bad faith censure of Tlaib and the saving of Mike Johnson as Speaker. Why did Garland even appoint a Special Counsel on Biden's documents? Wouldn't an FBI search and investigation have been a first step and the appointment of a Special Counsel only AFTER the FBI found something potentially criminal have been the more prudent step? Trump had months of the National Archives politely asking for their documents back, then the FBI got involved, then the appointment. Biden went straight from "found some documents" to Hur being appointed? That immediately put both Biden and Trump on the same footing for people not paying attention. Yet Garland wasn't fired. Garland allowed Hur to release his own bad faith report.
Back in October-November there were reports Biden was waiting to go on the offensive against Trump after the New Year. And right now there are reports Biden and his WH refuse to believe the polling that shows him underwater with key demographics on big issues like Isreal-Gaza. There is no urgency. There is no agency. It's undermining their own best argument that Trump is the end of Democracy. If you keep telling me that, you'd better start acting like it. No delaying. No trying to appease the middle. It's either the end of Democracy, or it is not.
I also read the other day Trump not only wants to fire hundreds and hundreds of federal officials but indict them.
When he wins the election (and sadly, he will) it will be an unprecedented slashing of agencies and their personnel. My problem with Biden and his campaign is, they always talk about the threat to democracy coming from Trump, his party and his sycophants but they do not act accordingly. Biden is not really campaigning, has no policy goals on his website and "Trump bad" will not be enough to get people out to vote. We saw that in 2016..

The Justice Department’s reluctance will echo for a generation.
