Yeah, I Get It, Release The Epstein Files

[Fiendish Thingy]

6. And DOJ didn't drop charges against Nauta until January 29

Garland couldn't release the classified documents report until after Smith dropped the Nauta D'Olivria cases.

Smith didnt drop the charges because there were still crimes worth prosecuting, Nauta didn’t have the benefit of SCOTUS declared immunity, and in any case, Smith resigned before that could occur. It was the Trump DOJ that dropped the charges.

I know you already know this, but omit it from your anti-Garland rants because it refutes your evidence-free opinion, so this is for the benefit of the casual reader who might be scrolling by:

Garland was building a case to charge Trump with unlawful retention of national defense information, because it is almost impossible to meet the charging criteria for Unlawful removal or unlawful possession when charging a former president (otherwise Biden would have faced criminal charges as well).

Because the case was focused on retention, the Archives played a key role in documenting the correspondence and attempts to retrieve documents, establishing that Trump refused to return certain documents - again, this proved willful, deliberate retention as opposed to simple possession, which is what your rants seem to focus on. After multiple attempts and refusals, Garland had enough evidence to convince a judge to sign off on the search warrant for MAL.
