If Garland is scared he needs to step down and let someone do the job he was hired to do.

that Janet Reno is a great villain in the MAGAish narrative.

And that, when Janet Reno was AG, there was no such thing as MAGA.

And that a great deal of right-wing lunacy, from Timothy McVeigh through the Bundys and up to Jan 6 has been fueled by a fake narrative of Ruby Ridge.

It's just an interesting reach back into an interesting piece of history, framed in an interesting way by a pretty new poster.
