@hightor,
Quote:... how convinced the left is that Garland has no intention of prosecuting him!
Such passionate cynicism notwithstanding, I'd wager the opposite. It would seem the reason folks might presume inaction relate to establishment fearfulness that very serious civic unrest might follow threatening the stability of the nation. Of course, that is precisely the propaganda lever that figures like Trump, Bannon, Carlson. Levin, etc are leaning on - There will be civil war!
Nah, there won't be. (1) Though this could change, Trump is now losing influence, (2) few individuals/groups of the sort who were involved in events of Jan 6 are going to be eager do something like it again particularly with a Dem president in place, (3) Republicans now appreciate that such craziness harms them electorally, (5) the corporate/business sector needs relative stability to function profitably.
As for Garland et al, they surely comprehend that, though unlikely, Trump could regain power. If that were to happen, as a consequence of prosecutorial squeamishness, then a very bleak future is assured.
