The records were made public after Judge Tanya Chutkan denied a request by Trump's lawyers to keep them sealed until after the Nov. 5 presidential election.
If you lose the election, this evaporates. The administration could have started this within hours after taking office. Instead they waited literally years to pursue a case. And perhaps now it’s too late to make a difference.
So if it’s about justice, why didn’t the administration pursue the issue from day one? If it’s about justice, why didn’t they go after Trump for treason for instigating a violent insurrection to overturn the will of the people on J6? Where was ‘justice’ then? The administration pursued the least of Trump’s crimes and only once an election cycle began. Miss me with this feigned sense of justice.

You mean DoJ, which is well at arms length from the administration (for now). Plenty of people have for a long time rightly criticized Merrick Garland of being overly cautious with all of this. Still, there is something to be said for being overly cautious when, for the first time in US history, considering charging a former president with federal crimes. Even if “pursuing a case” had started with more haste, it would still have taken years to come to charges, because you don’t lay those charges in this situation without having an airtight case. That requires a very lengthy investigative process.
I’ll give you a pass for not knowing how the US justice system works, since I’m sure you don’t live here.
It’s almost like this isn’t about the election; it’s about justice
