even if there's evidence that he committed a crime, just as Barr did with Mueller.

Great idea - if you think Biden's Justice Department should behave the way Trump's DOJ did, except to direct its obstruction of justice toward protecting Democrats instead of Republicans.

I don't believe Biden and Garland are perfect and can do no wrong.

Unfortunately, some people are so caught up in trying to find reasons to attack them that they are now proclaiming that they should use their powers to call off investigations with no other basis than that they heard one of the targets is a Democrat. The lengths those folks go to twist themselves into knots in an effort to smear Biden and Garland is neither tragic nor devastating, but it is both hilarious and sad.

He shoulld not be AG! What he is doing is encouraging this to happen again (Presidential coup). triron Sep 2021 #2

Personally I think he is out of his element. He is a judge JohnSJ Sep 2021 #4

He's a lawyer and former U.S. Attorney - and was the chief judge of the DC Circuit StarfishSaver Sep 2021 #10

He is weak and we are running out of time JohnSJ Sep 2021 #13

What are your qualifications for assessing the fitness of an Attorney General? StarfishSaver Sep 2021 #14

Before the midterms is the timeline, and except for two strongly written letters to JohnSJ Sep 2021 #23

If you're going to accuse DOJ of not doing anything, you should at least get your facts straight StarfishSaver Sep 2021 #24

and Georgia is asking a judge to toss that lawsuit out. If this goes through the normal JohnSJ Sep 2021 #27

Defendants ALWAYS file motions to dismiss. That's nothing unusual StarfishSaver Sep 2021 #28

If it isn't before the midterms we are on a fragile timeline JohnSJ Sep 2021 #29

It will likely be dealt with before the midterms StarfishSaver Sep 2021 #30

Federal regulations permit the removal of a Special Counsel only under specific circumstances StarfishSaver Sep 2021 #8

Sally Yates, Preet Bharara, James Comey's, Rod Rosenstein, Andrew McCabe, Jeff Sessions, JohnSJ Sep 2021 #11

That's irrelevant to this issue StarfishSaver Sep 2021 #12

He waited until the last minute to file this to keep his position indefinitely. JohnSJ Sep 2021 #15

That doesn't even make any sense StarfishSaver Sep 2021 #17

Interesting that some folks on our side want Biden and his AG to behave just like Trump and his AG StarfishSaver Sep 2021 #9

Not sure I follow Hugh_Lebowski Sep 2021 #19

They're demanding that Biden fire the Special Counsel because he's investigating a Democrat StarfishSaver Sep 2021 #20

I get it now, thanks Hugh_Lebowski Sep 2021 #25

Yep StarfishSaver Sep 2021 #31
