...Special Counsel for the Department of Justice from November 18, 2022 until his resignation on January 10, 2025

Less than 2 years to get Trump. I don't blame Smith. I blame Garland and Biden for treading so softly around such a corrupt SOB simply for the optics of fairness.

Fairness for the American people would have been announcing investigations in to Trump during Biden's inauguration speech, indicting him 14 days later and placing him on (at least) house arrest so that he can only make public statements through his lawyers, who are compelled to tell the truth.

Edit: Worth noting that Achibald Cox investigated Nixon for 1 year, 2 months, and 23 days before Nixon resigned. The timeframe for Smith is right on the money for how long it takes to criminally indict a President, and trump had a lot more sycophants and corrupt judges to run out the clock.
