Adam Schiff Is Big Mad at Justice Department for Taking Too Long to Prosecute Trump
By Jeff Charles | 10:02 PM on March 17, 2024
Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) railed against the Justice Department on Sunday for taking too long to indict and prosecute former President Donald Trump in the various cases against him. He also lashed out at Trump for seeking to delay his trials.
While Schiff insists that his criticism is motivated by a desire for justice, it is abundantly obvious that this is more about politics.
Schiff made his remarks during an appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union.” The host brought up Schiff’s disagreement with Attorney General Merrick Garland’s handling of the investigations into the former president, particularly when it comes to the timing.
The lawmaker responded, noting that the Justice Department “did wait at least a year to look beyond the foot soldiers, that is, those that broke into the Capitol that day and refrained from looking at those who were the inciters of the attack on the Capitol.”
He continued, lamenting that the cases against Trump could stretch beyond the election.
And yes, I think that delay has contributed to a situation where none of these trials may go forward, although it is still my hope and belief that at least one or two of them might go forward before the election. So yes, the Department bears some of that responsibility.
