What are you gonna do if we call, Jack? Sit with your thumb up your ass for four years and accomplish nothing?

Blame merrick garland. Jack Smith did what he could.

I think they both dragged their feet and chickened out.

Nah. They engaged in textbook bottom-up investigation knowing they'd be prosecuting a former president and going up against stacked courts.
The stacked courts delayed everything. Would've happened regardless; the only difference is if Garland/Smith rushed, they might risk a lack of corroborating evidence to convince a jury or lose on technicalities.
As much as it pains me to say it, I'd rather this than a jury returning a Not Guilty.
The biggest bullshit post-election is this scapegoating Garland. That we knew Trump was a convicted felon and pending 3 other trials and still voted for him is kind of a bigger problem.

Jack Smith just did the best thing he could do by dropping the charges now.
In January they'd be dismissed with prejudice. By dropping them now, they can be re-filed when Trump leaves office.

Ain't Jack's fault. He was doing his best with this lame duck DOJ. Garland is to blame.
