Rachel Maddow: Merrick Garland Gave Donald Trump a Reason to Announce 2024 Presidential Run Early (Video)

Attorney General Merrick Garland is extending a policy that mandates he sign off personally on any Department of Justice investigations of presidential candidates and their affiliates, citing “election year sensitivities.” The previously unprecedented policy was first instated in February 2020 by former AG William Barr and was largely seen at the time as a means of protecting Donald Trump.
The news broke Monday night with exclusive excerpts of the memo on “The Rachel Maddow Show,” where the host revealed that Garland first sent the memo in May 2022.
While much of the memo’s contents were standard practice, the stipulation in question reads: “No investigation (including any preliminary investigation) may be opened or initiated by the Department or any of its law enforcement agencies: 1. Of a Declared candidate for president or vice president, a presidential campaign, or a senior presidential campaign staff member or advisor absent prior (i) written notification to and consultation with the Assistant Attorney(s) General and U.S. Attorney(s) with jurisdiction over the matter and (ii) written approval of the Attorney General, through the Deputy Attorney General.”
Putting it in layman’s terms, Maddow emphasized: “In essence, nobody’s allowed to investigate anybody connected to a presidential candidate without his permission, personally, as AG.”
So what’s been happening on Capitol Hill since Garland sent out that instruction to all Department of Justice employees? Maddow posed the rhetorical to her at-home audience.
“Well, former president Donald Trump has had the delightful experience of the Jan. 6 investigation, essentially rolling out a real-time, primetime criminal referral of him to the justice department,” Maddow said, answering her own question. “And also since this memo went out, Trump has responded to all these revelations about him and Jan. 6 by reportedly moving to speed up his own declaration that he’s going to be a candidate for president again.”
Spotting a potential correlation between the two developments, Maddow indicated that the sooner Trump announces his 2024 presidential bid, the sooner he will have another barrier to criminal prosecution for his alleged actions surrounding the Jan. 6 insurrection.
“Yes, it would be unorthodox for him to announce two years in advance that he’s a candidate for president. Why would he do that? Well, now we know now that we’ve obtained this Justice Department memo from a few weeks ago.
Now we know for sure that it does kick something into action, if he in fact announces himself as a declared candidate for president,” Maddow said. “That means any investigation that relates to him or anyone working for him has to be personally cleared in writing through the very highest echelons of the justice department.

Trump didn't call off his mob until 4:17 p.m. on Jan 6. Why did he do it then? He didn't do it because he thought it was the right thing to do.
He did it because he had just received the message that Mike Pence had usurped his authority and called out the National Guard (thread)
Trump finally realized that he did not have the people or the weapons in place to defeat the National Guard.
But, his plan had been to declare martial law after the mob took over the Capitol.
Let's look at the timeline for that day:
At 2:12 p.m., Pence was rushed off the Senate floor as the mob closed in.
Twelve minutes later, at 2:24 p.m., Trump tweeted:
"Mike Pence didn’t have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution, giving States a chance to certify a ...
corrected set of facts, not the fraudulent or inaccurate ones which they were asked to previously certify.”.
At 3:36 p.m., Kayleigh McEnany tweeted that Trump had just called in the National Guard. We now know that this is not true. ...
We now know Trump was not the one who called in the National Guard, Pence did that. A few minutes after Pence called them into the Capitol, someone informed Trump. Trump then told Kayleigh McEnany to put out the tweet that he was the one who had called out the National Guard. ...
At 4:08 p.m., Pence placed an urgent phone call from the Capitol to Stephen Miller, informing him that the Capitol was not secure, that rioters were brutalizing police and vandalizing the building, and asking for military leaders to provide a timeline for securing the building.
Nine minutes later, at 4:17 p.m., Trump realized that his mob had not overrun the Capitol, and it was going to be defeated and embarrassingly beaten down by a stronger force. So, he then tweeted out his video message to the organized mob of rioting thugs he had incited. ...
"I know your pain. I know your hurt," he begins. "We love you. You're very special. You've seen what happens. You've seen the way others are treated. ... I know how you feel, but go home, and go home in peace."
Enough District of Columbia riot police and National Guardsmen had arrived to thwart his coup plan. Maryland and Virginia were also preparing to send additional National Guard and state troopers to DC to help secure the Capitol. Realizing this, Trump THEN tells his mob to retreat
Invoking martial law after his organized and incited mob had overrun the Capitol, forced Congress to flee, and disrupted and delayed the certification process was the plan for Jan. 6.
If 100,000 people had shown up that day, instead of just 20-30,000, the plan might have worked.
The mob was deceptively well-organized and had a specific plan to disrupt the certification of the vote. They headed straight to the parliamentarian's office and immediately ransacked it looking for the electoral college ballots.
The ballots were with the fleeing Congresspeople.
“I believe those rioters were keenly focused -- this was not a protest, it wasn’t -- this was an effort to stop a transition of power,” said Karl. “I believe they were searching for those ballots with the intent of destroying them.”

Wikipedia has an extensive timeline of Jan. 6. It has many interesting details about the deployment of the National Guard on that day, and it illustrates the utter chaos that transpired.

Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan said that the Department of Defense “repeatedly denied” requests to authorize the deployment of Maryland’s National Guard troops to help quell violence at the Capitol. The troops were stuck at the state border waiting for hours.
