It’s not the job of politicians (or at least it shouldn’t be) to prosecute criminals. However, if you count Merrick Garland as a “Democrat”, he should have moved on Trump immediately after he left power. Instead, he sat on it. That was the first delay, and Judge Canon was the last. Blaming the last delay is obvious, but not the real story.
That’s fair. I’m not sure of Garland’s motive to delay, other than a lack of constitution. Cannon was quite overtly playing games with the hearing and calendar, so she took the heat.
Garland didn’t want to seem like his actions were political retribution, like they claimed it was anyway. He didn’t want the perception they already concluded anyway!

Hey, don’t stop at Garland. Who was Garland’s boss, who could have told Garland to do his fucking job or be replaced by someone who will?
Never forget that failure to deal with Trump is ultimately on Joe Biden and no one else.

Some heat. She’s still in office.
Good luck getting 2/3 of the Senate to vote for her impeachment.
