Welcome to an HBO podcast from the HBO late night series Real Time with Bill Maugh.

Oh look, we must have done good.

Okay, well on over time.

Here, for Laura, do you think Marik Garland is taking too long to press criminal charges

related to January 6th?

Will the movement lose momentum if he keeps stalling?

Yes, I think the public perception and the patience of the American public has a shelf life of dairy.

And I think that it's time to have more transparency and of course public hearings on the congressional side too.

But he has done something, that's true.

But I think people want more given the volume of people who are allowed to walk out of the Capitol that day.

And then Marik Garland as attorney general, maybe he's the new Robert Mueller.

You know, somebody we thought was going to be a badass and it's just not working out.

I mean I talk to people all the time who are making the case that look maybe Trump won't run again in 2024 because of the legal proceedings against him.

And this is what a lot of Americans are asking themselves right now is that are some of the actions I led up to January 6th actually going to result in something that derails what looks to me to be him coming back and winning the Republican nomination in 2024.

Yeah, you think he's going to run and win I do too.

Yeah, at least in nomination.

I mean he does, he is faltering in some ways, the crowds and so forth.

But when the campaign starts again and he starts attacking the people who you know challenge him.
