I think Garland wants to let NY do the dirty work, at least initially, once he's locked up it's easier to pile on and harder for Donald to defend himself from inside prison. His rivals looking to take control of the wild elephant are also waiting for Donald to be removed from the stage and have a muzzle placed on him. Christ only knows what 2022 will bring ya for the states, house and senate, the republicans were running ahead of Trump in 2020. It might be best that Donald is in a state prison, the pressure for a federal pass or pardon for Trump by the republicans would be overwhelming if they won big in 2022. The first order of business would be impeaching Joe Biden.
