(90,313 posts)...not once does she talk about the courts who delayed every piece of evidence, most notably the evidence that GARLAND used SUCESSFULLY in myriad appeals to testimony and other communications from his top aides and attorneys which, in fact, were fought by Garland well after his appointment of Jack Smith to take what he had gathered since at least as far back as 2021 and present it to the GRAND JURIES which the federal government uses to bring charges forward.
GRAND JURIES bring the charges, not the administrator of the DOJ.
Fuck, Just stopping there proves how dirt-dumb and false this scapegoating of Garland is. He doesn't bring charges forward, his prosecutors do AFTER they run them through grand juries.
I mean, without knowing spit about Garland's 'priorities' she just makes it up to suit her vapid hit piece.
Then she blames Garland for the fucking Mueller report that Barr buried? Jesus this is stupid. But more importantly, this is misinformation dressed up in weak aphorisms like 'brought a knife to a gunfight.'
Until we get the details of the actual investigation, this is just more internet fantasy prosecution. Hell, Jack Smith inherited fucking TWENTY career prosecutors from Garland, and what was described at the time as a 'fast moving investigation' which had gathered more evidence to hand over to Smith than Mueller started with.
There were at least 6 top lawyer aides listed in the indictments who had their attorney client privileges revoked on the evidence GARLAND produced and presented to the appeals court judges to have their attorney client privileges revoked and force them to talk. That took YEARS for the courts to schedule and resolve in Garland's favor, in several separate hearings.
Besides, nothing prevents a charged or convicted felon from running or assuming office.. NOTHING but our votes. So what the fuck does this person believe was going to happen?
Did she not just watch this election? He's already a convicted felon. Where the fuck was he supposed to be restrained from winning by the DOJ?
And doesn't ANYONE see anything ironic (if that's the word) about complaining about the DOJ's prosecution of Trump's attempt to interfere in the election, and at the same time, just shouting at Garland for not essentially politicizing the Justice Dept. against Biden's political rival.
I mean, Garland's critics are openly chastizing him for being mindful about this fantasy invention of theirs that he said or did something that indicated he was making decisions based on some fear of being seen as political.
Ffs, his actions in arresting and convicting 1200 Trump supporting rioters on charges up to the crime of Sedition just makes an absolute lie of that nonsense claim. Not to mention that it was Garland, on his own volition, who hired the man who hastened the evidence GARLAND's prosecutors had gathered into TWO historic, multi-felony indictments against a former president.
It's literally never been done, and likely won't again. None of his critics have done anything approaching the accountability and effort Garland's DOJ put into investigating and prosecuting Trump.
No other prosecutor in Trump's history, either, has obtained and pursued two multi-felony indictments against him as aggressively as Garland's DOJ.
To me, this looks like this writer has zero interest in holding either the perps or the courts responsible for delaying and effectively ending the prosecutions for Trump. Neither do the Garland critics, it appears.
Man who prosecuted over 1200 Trumpers, bad?
Courts which blocked him, meh?
This article is written for rubes, imo, and for whatever she's ultimately looking to get attention for.
