Nothing of the sort happened. From Jack Smith's report:

A significant challenge that the Office faced after Mr. Trump's indictment was his ability and willingness to use his influence and following on social media to target witnesses, courts, and Department employees, which required the Office to engage in time-consuming litigation to protect witnesses from threats and harassment.

Volume I of that report is 174 pages of investigative findings, and we haven't seen volume II yet.

The idea that they were just lazy is completely ignorant of how long even normal federal cases take, let alone going against a former President with a penchant for stirring up a mob in his favor.

Those people did their jobs. The rest of the system failed them.

The system is designed to fail them.

Lets hope he manages to write page 500 before he gets fired. Quantity is irrelevant when it is used to delay justice instead of enforce it.

Nothing about that is delay. All of that is investigative findings.

If you want delay, look to Aileen Cannon and the Supreme Court. Jack Smith did his job.

Jack Smith ran away and hid rather than fight. These employees kept quietly writing reports instead of moving forward with critical action. Hell, I'd even take a whistleblower. Are we seeing any of that? Ofc not. They're all cowards carefully hired by further cowards precisely to protect their status quo.

Source: i am a former federal employee whose rights were repeatedly violated and who was shitcanned when I made myself heard. Nobody is interested in pursuing my rights violations because nobody has jurisdiction over anyone else. Burn the whole system to the ground.

Do you have corroborating evidence and know others who share your same experiences?
