23. Video of the Jan 6th public speech would never have been enough to make federal charges stick

What he did from the podium is not categorically unlawful enough to successfully prosecute a POTUS for what happened afterwards.

What Biden's DoJ needed was proof there was a preconceived plot to attack the Capital, and then proof that Trump was actively involved in the planning thereof. So the type of video I mean is he's talking to the head of the Oath Keepers and telling them "here's what you do" and it was "take violent actions". Also, I don't think you're correct that nothing was done for 2 years, so I reject the premise.

I'm just telling you, friend, I think it's more likely there are NOT videos of rich old (other) men molesting the minor girls in Epstein's orbit than it's likely there ARE, and I outlined (well, some of) the reasons I've reached that conclusion

I guess, perhaps time will prove me wrong (but it cannot ever prove me right because that involves proving a negative). I accept that risk, like I say I'm simply saying my best guess. And because that is my best guess, when someone presupposes that they MUST exist, I'll sometimes push back, because there is an inherent implication by such assertions that Biden's DoJ was totally corrupt. Not just foot-dragging, but outright corrupt. And in a REALLY horrible way.

President Biden was not involved in the day-to-day decisions of then AG Garland. Justice matters. Apr 27 #8
And I don't think AG Garland would've just sat on videos that proved a child was raped AZJonnie Apr 27 #10
Not sure of that. Garland waited two years before seriously looking at the insurrectionist-in-chief's Justice matters. Apr 27 #13
