What is "near congressional control"? That just sounds like a disingenuous way to say "didn't have congressional control".
You don’t need congress to send felons to prison.
That's not an answer to my question, but in any case you do still need a trial and conviction. Did you forget about the multiple trials he was facing that were only dropped because he was inaugurated?
Why were all those trials slow-walked?
Were they? It seemed to me more like Trump doing the one thing he's actually good at: dragging out trials.
They didn't even start the process until two years in to the Biden administration. Biden sent the nation to Hell through the oldest liberal failing - seeking to compromise with Republicans. He appointed a Republican as his attorney general. Did you forget that? And then Garland proceeded to slow-walk the Trump prosecution. They only moved forward at all after the House investigatory committees forced their hand.
Are you familiar with the typical timeframes involved in high profile federal cases? Going fast is how you get cases thrown out for minor oversights.
