Garland Could Be Creating 'Biggest Failure Of An Attorney General In American History' Expert Says

[Rhiannon12866]

The House select committee on January 6 voted Monday on a measure to refer criminal charges for two of Donald Trump’s former advisors: Trump's social media manager and adviser Dan Scavino and his trade secretary Peter Navarro. Both witnesses violated their subpoenas by refusing to turn over documents or sit for depositions, and were deeply involved in the scheme to subvert the results of a democratic election and pull off the first American coup. Joy Reid and her panel discuss these issues leading up to the committee's vote. Aired on 03/28/2022.

1. I get that belief. But Garland could also be making the right decision for future,

unless someone finds hard(er) evidence.

[Rhiannon12866]

3. I've wondered, too - But they obviously have a lot more information than I do.

7. Why did McConnell refuse to vote Garland on the SC?

If Garland is as beholding to Federalists & RW corruption on protecting those who installed Trump, you'd think they would have wanted him on the SC.
Right?

One particular narrative somehow doesn't fit the other being suggested about Merrick Garland...ya know?

10. I'm thinking that the motive was........

not so much 'against' Garland, but rather, McTurtle's initial vow to make sure that Obama was a 1-term President. He lost on that, but it still provided him a way to 'trump' President Obama's nominee (yeah, I know, shitty way to 'phrase' it........).

And, although McTurtle's scheme worked so well at that moment, he was NOT committed to it for the long term - thus Dear Amy had NO problem getting her seat a few weeks before an election. After all, NOBODY ever thought that McTurtle had any quality characteristics like honesty, integrity, or honor.

13. What is your explanation?

Moscow Mitch got his toady on the SCROTUS and blocked Obama's nomination.

Moscow Mitch objected to his own bill.

Did you forget the meeting held the night of Obama's inauguration where Moscow Mitch & republicons vowed to block EVERYTHING Obama did?

That's all there is to that. Garland was Obama's nomination and that could not be allowed by Moscow Mitch.

Now, explain Garland's apparent inaction, please.

2. I'd love it if he proved otherwise...

4. The Justice Department need more transparency. They are public servants

and it is important that the public has trust in the system - not much these days. There doesn't seem to be much accountability.

[Rhiannon12866]

6. That makes sense, obviously people are wondering, especially after the Mueller Report

That we waited so long for and turned out to be not what we hoped.

[FoxNewsSucks]

8. How do we know?

The only unredacted thing released was Barr's letter. He's a corrupt piece of shit.

I want to see the unredacted Mueller report.

[Rhiannon12866]

11. Oh, Barr was the worst of the worst.

I've been listening to Mary Trump's second book in my car and she says that, in Barr, TFG "found his Roy Cohn."

[MyOwnPeace]

15. There was not a 'fault' with the Mueller Report.....

well, as least as far as we know.

And THAT is the problem!

Billy Barr made sure that we did not know what was in the Mueller Report.

WE paid for it - WE lived through it - WE deserve to see what is IN IT!!!!!

[Rhiannon12866]

16. I couldn't agree more!

And we not only waited forever, but the entire nation got its hopes up that this was the end of TFG.

[MyOwnPeace]

19. I won't buy campaign 'stuff'.......

shirts, hats, flags, signs, etc........

But I DID buy a hat that was a 'riff' on the MAGA shit: Mueller Ain't Going Away.

Saturday Night Live gave extra work for Robert De Nero for months on their show.

And what did all of that get us?

The "F" word comes to mind.......

[Rhiannon12866]

20. Oh, I remember that - I probably posted those here

That was all everyone talked about and then...

[summer_in_TX]

14. The news about the DOJ planning to lawyer up doesn't seem to

be getting out very well. I saw the news yesterday, and from several credible sources.

5. Who's Garland?

[FoxNewsSucks]

9. ...

[Rhiannon12866]

12. LOL!

[MyOwnPeace]

17. O-M-G!!!!!!!

THAT is the billboard we need to paste on every billboard leading into DC!

[NBachers]

21. 1. Set up Puque stooges & sabotage the vote. 2. Play out clock 'til November 3. 86 the investigation

That's the plan as I see it; we're on the cusp of Do Something Before it's Too Late right now. I'm losing hope, faith, and confidence.

Sorry

[Rhiannon12866]

23. I agree that the plan is to run out the clock

That's why we can't afford to wait any longer. It's already been well over a year!

[Steve Canuck]

22. Just a reminder

As just a reminder, merrick garland still has not indicted mark meadows for criminal contempt.

I understand the need for patience, however, the world has a very long history of handing the rich and powerful golden parachutes, while everyone else has the book thrown at them.

I believe its more than fair to see something in the form of action from the DOJ.

[Rhiannon12866]

24. I completely agree, it's also time we heard from the January 6th Committee

We were told that there would be "public hearings" after the first of the year - and it's almost April.

And welcome to DU! Great first post!

[Steve Canuck]

25. Thanks

Thanks! Been lurking for a while, as a Canadian, I try and keep up with both US and Canadian politics, as they both affect one another.

[Rhiannon12866]

26. Ah, they certainly do - and we have many Canadians here on DU

Not to mention, though you probably noticed, there's a Group for Canadians as there are for numerous places in the U.S. and around the globe. And I'm in Northeastern New York, so Canada is our very closest neighbor, before the pandemic we were used to seeing visitors from Ontario and Quebec.
