Stormy kills Bragg case

Appears you've neither followed this case very closely nor digested the links I posted. Trump and Barr were not "out of office for 3+ years" when Bragg inherited and began reviewing this case, back in 2021. 

The bolded suggests some limitation of your knowledge of how government and the legal system actually work. That's generally the case when people start with an outcome to "reverse engineer" a desired conclusion. (Not the first time you've been flagged for this limitation either, so the resurgent hubris is puzzling.) 

The red herring deserves a comment as well. It would have been a waste of time and "political" to impeach Trump for collusion that did not reach the level of criminal prosecution. Bringing the obstruction charge would also have been difficult, given a Republican controlled Senate and the public's lack of knowledge about the issue. Plenty of Dems in the House pushed Pelosi for impeachment, as did segments of the public, but Pelosi judged the requisite support was lacking, and the costs would outweigh the benefits at that conjuncture--not that there was "nothing there." Can you see some differences in urgency between this and the 1/6 impeachments, right after a majority of the nation watched a Trump mob break into the Capitol and chase Congress out of session?

I actually read the Mueller Report and Barr's memo, and spent a deal of time in this forum explaining Mueller's findings and legal argument to people who did not read it.

So no, it does not occur to me that I have been deceived or "gas lit."   

But it does occur to me that many Americans don't spend much time with primary texts in these cases or follow evidence and legal arguments very closely, relying on their selective news sources to explain it all for them, making it easy for them to conclude no prosecution must mean there was never actually a case for such, and to be easily swayed by mutually supporting, attention-diverting media narratives--the election was rigged, Biden weaponized the DOJ to get Trump, Russia Russia Russia!
