“Based on recent developments, including the former president’s announcement that he is a candidate for president in the next election, and the sitting president’s stated intention to be a candidate as well, I have concluded that it is in the public interest to appoint a special counsel,” Garland said at the Justice Department on Friday.
That was Garland in November. And when did Garland 1st find out about Biden's classified documents. November.
At which point he had someone working to determine whether a special counsel was necessary. Keep in mind that the special counsel for Trump is not really about the documents themselves. It is about the actions of Trump and his employees that (allegedly) obstructed government actions to regain those documents and (allegedly) lied to the government in the course of those events. This is why it is a false equivalency to try to talk about the Biden and Trump cases as if they were the same.
