Joe Biden sees the writing on the wall. He can’t read it, but he can see it. He knows that Trump will score an overwhelming victory over him in November, so he is holding the threat of firing over his head unless he speeds up the imprisonment of Trump. More likely though is that demand comes from Barack Obama who is seeking his fourth term as president. The question then becomes will Garland cave to those demands or will he resign?
A Politico report on Friday by Jonathan Lemire and Sam Stein is advancing a theory that Joe Biden is attempting election interference as his only chance to win the election and remove the possibility of criminal prosecution. Many Democrats deny the “lawfare” is politically motivated, while Republicans say it is intentional.
Lemire and Stein wrote:
Frustration within the White House at Garland has been growing steadily.
In recent weeks, President Biden has grumbled to aides and advisers that had Garland moved sooner in his investigation into former President Donald Trump’s election interference, a trial may already be underway or even have concluded, according to two people granted anonymity to discuss private matters. That trial still could take place before the election and much of the delay is owed not to Garland but to deliberate resistance put up by the former president and his team.
Biden was hoping Trump would be convicted before he won the Republican nomination.

Democrats know this lawfare is backfiring badly and propelling Trump back to the White House.

Mike Davis, founder and president of the pro-Trump Article III Project said:
“It’s obvious the multiple indictments against President Trump are part of the Democrats’ lawfare and election interference with President Biden himself behind it all. Democrats know this lawfare is backfiring badly and propelling Trump back to the White House.”
Trump’s 2024 national press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Biden believes he can only defeat Trump if he is imprisoned. “Joe Biden knows imprisoning President Trump is the only way he can win in November,” she contended.
“This was their plan all along,” Donald Trump Jr. said on his podcast Triggered. “It really undercuts all the nonsense that even the Democrats are out there kind of creating.”
Democrats reacted differently to Politico’s report. They appeared to defend Biden’s election interference by slamming Garland for not helping Biden win reelection with a more politically expedient indictment timetable.
“I think Garland will be criticized by historians,” Robert Shrum, a Democrat consultant, told Politico.
“What Democrats do is they bend over backwards not to look partisan, and then they end up hiring people that are partisan but in the other direction,” one Biden donor said. “There’s no question in my mind that the villain here is Merrick Garland [in the Biden administration].”
