She mentioned the approach Garland was taking and contrasted it with the approach of Smith. Garland took the bottom-up tack, and Smith seemed to take an approach more similar to that of the J6 Committee, focusing on ringleaders right away. And he produced an indictment that, were a bottom-up approach taken, may have never come. The indictment doesn't rely on anything from the rioters or the militias; it's all based on Trump and his coterie's activities. If Trump didn't declare his candidacy, Garland never appoints a Special Counsel, and if we ever would have gotten an indictment, it certainly would not have been this soon, and may have never come based on that bottom-up approach.

I found it a thought-provoking take.
Okay, that makes sense. Thanks.
