The case for President Uncle Joe's political genius: Merrick Garland, USAG.

United States Attorney General, Merrick Garland.

While I'd still prefer him to be seated as a Supreme Court justice and thought that he was thoroughly rail-roaded during his confirmation hearing by the Fascist GOP,

he may be even better in his current position as chief prosecutor of U.S. law.

Today, Garland won a major ruling in U.S. district court. As highlighted in a couple of popular DU OP's..

Garland is a force to reckon with. A real legal mind. An encyclopedic knowledge of the law.

He knows how to bring an indictment forth. Today's ruling against Trump and Barr prove it.

No more Trump stone-walling, no more Barr obstruction.

Garland laid them to waste. Bring on the indictments. Garland now has the traction to do so.

Smart prosecutors have the ability to do so.

Biden confirmed a legal-minded genius to the position of U.S. Attorney General.

Agent Orange, you better lawyer-the-fuck-up.

This was CREW who took the DOJ to court, when they refused to their FOIA request before, to get this memo between Barr and the OCG. Garland will only adhere to the judges orders. I like Garland but to give him credit for this is not accurate.

the most important appointment of them all. I expect him to let this criminal meme go public in two weeks.
