I don't think you understand what I'm saying, or how any of this actually works.
Prosecuting Trump had literally nothing to do with who was in control of Congress at the time. That is not how any of this is supposed to work. It doesn't matter if they had a super-majority in both Houses. It was not up to them. That is not their job.
The responsibility for that failure lies exclusively with the Department of Justice, and more specifically with Merrick Garland for dragging his heels in an effort to appear apolitical.
