Forget Matt Gaetz. Merrick Garland Is America’s Worst Attorney General.

Gaetz will be worse.

Garland had a job to do and he stood and wrung his hands instead of pursuing justice.

if Garland had done his job, we would not be in this position. He gets credit for both.

Marric Garland didn't even start the poccess until over 2.5 years after it happened.

for a better comparison, go with Jack Teixera- the Discord Leaks Guy. After they were discovered, it took all of a week to figure out his identity, arrest him, and secure further leaks.

It took over 6 months to get the documents back- when they knew exactly who had the documents. No investigation necessary. but he didn't want to be "political."

And by the way, those documents are literally damning evidence of violating several laws for which most Americans would be hanged.

Also, remember, they didn't actually get them all back. Some of the worst secrets are still missing.

The idea that there can be no special cases that demand high priority, even when the case is itself about an attack on the republic, is the failure of blind institutionalism. The public also has a right to know that trials will resolve in a timely manner, especially when the trials are about attacks against the People themselves.

"Justice takes time, let Mueller/Garland/Smith work" was the mantra of failure. There was a fetishization of a higher path, where the machinations of law take as long as they need to, with no deadlines or pressing public questions, but instead of leading to a purer and incontrovertible justice, it led to no justice at all.

Garland (and Biden as the one who appointed him) have a very direct responsibility for the loss of degradation of the American republic. Even should Trump's term just pass as a bad four years, long-term damage has been done through this failure.

This is why Trump can say the government is broken and it resonates with people. These things should not take years and years. “Right to a speedy trial” needs to be upheld.

They’re exactly the same. Biden didn’t act to maintain the status quo; same deal with Garland. You don’t play nice with shitty people, like Trump. You need to be more ruthless. The world watched Jan. 6th happened and the people put in power did nothing to nip it in the bud. Now, we’ve got a second Trump term and it’s all because of inaction because people were scared to ruffle feathers. Those mf’ers deserved to be Randy Johnson’ed

I can think of a few that are bigger. But it's up there.

There was literally already a report saying he did crime but while he was president could not be prosecuted! Just fucking memory-holed by the Attorney General because somehow ignoring crimes because the criminal is a politician is supposed to be not-political.

Since corporate media wanted to normalize ghouls.

There is more than enough blame to go around to pin some on individuals

Garland deserves a loooot of blame

Biden does too

DeJoy does

Whomst ever decided campaining with the cheneys and advocating for 10 year old GOP policies/talking points instead of leftist economic policy deserves tons of blame

This is a bad take.

I. our system, we have people that are singularly responsible for somethings.

Merrick Garland was one of those people.

You "not buying it" changes nothing about the situation.
