95. where were they supposed to be 'scared" of?

As WaPo journalist Carol Leoning reminded (when she wasn't selling her book implying Garland was too late to do anything), the documents case was mostly ready to go when Jack Smith came on the scene. She said Smith 'put a bow' on the case which she said been ready to go before he even came onboard. What Smith did with his time was broaden the investigation to other perps than just Trump.
