AG Garland: "DOJ Will Hold All Accountable", Starting w/"Cases in Front of Us & Build From There"

NPR's Carrie Johnson interviewed Attorney General Merrick Garland about the course of the investigation into the attack on our democracy culminating in the January 6 assault on the US Capitol. Garland was direct and unequivocal in his pledge to hold everyone accountable for the Jan. 6 attack on our democracy. He also made a number of other statements and promises that signal the direction in which the Department of Justice is moving.

This video explores why it's taking so long for accountability to come to the command structure of the insurrection, including Donald Trump.

1. Legal Experts Urge Merrick Garland to Appoint a Special Counsel to Investigate Trump and Jan. 6

We must keep in mind that this opinion arises in a vacuum of knowledge about what DOJ is already doing, which I suspect is substantial.

7. All the naysayers will be triggered

but they never point out how DoJ indicted so many Mueller targets under a Republican AG and President. Being a blowhard is so much easier than doing a critical analysis of how DoJ actually works, and not just because DoJ operates under a necessary cloak of keeping investigations secret to protect both the investigation and everyone's rights, but because blowhards are just plain lazy-assed windbags.

10. Sure.

My lazy ass thinks you’re overly optimistic. In the end, it will be something like, “well we would have if we could have but we just didn’t have slam dunk, no chances of losing, every single tiny fact on our side, yardage, yadda.”

I’m perfectly willing, eager even to be proved wrong. Tick rock.

4. Sure as long as they get around to it before the christofascists install the Pig in 2024...

by all the legislation, intimidation, suppression and gerrymandering they are working on right now.

Take them out for a test drive in 2022, see how they fast they go.

5. To translate;

We will go after all of the people who are below "protected class" status. If you are some schmuck from Valdosta, you can fear the long reach and the almighty hammer of the law. The cases against the rich, famous and powerful will fall apart, disappear into the fog and night, evidence will be sealed for 50 years, and the primary investigators and prosecutors will quit in shame. After it is too late to correct any associated problems, scholarly books will be written about both the success and failure of the justice system.

6. Who's All?

9. We keep finding out, almost daily it seems if you follow the news.

I follow this account on Twitter, and one thing that is striking is the ramble #FailedCoupGuy managed to assemble.
