The way that most people tend to judge "experts" is on the "do they say what I want to hear" scale.

I think. He's just another pundit out there with opinions, if I'm not mistaken. Besides, Kirschner didn't write that. I stopped going to KOS because of all the clickbait links there.

There is nothing clear about any part of this situation. I respect Glenn, yet he is not Garland's boss and doesn't work in the DOJ. Glenn is just one more pundit getying air and eyeball time treading water until real news breaks. So tiresome.
