This DOJ isn't getting convictions as often as they get headlines. A few of their lawyers are getting their cases dismissed for being appointed in the wrong way.
They couldn't even convict the alleged sandwich thrower.
You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.
Trump was surprisingly easy to convict once Alvin Bragg started pressing charges. But it was far too little and too late to win a conviction before Trump could return to office.
Plenty of other Republicans would be easy targets, if the DOJ bothered to press a case.
