“There are others to blame for the fate of the prosecutions of Trump. But Garland is up there.” @ngertner.bsky.social is right in her response to the misguided @bostonglobe.bsky.social exoneration of the AG

A sad sleepy legacy for Merrick Garland
Apply Federal Law that disqualifies 45 & vance from office.
Do you really believe a wall exists between the Justice Department and White House?
Come on. Get real.
Biden was directing traffic. He was the captain of the ship.
It was his call. Biden failed.
Banks, Jordan, MTG dropping pipe bombs, MANY others
They ALL knew this was coming weeks before it did
None said a fucking word and a whole lotta them participated
And so now we’re staring at a Russian asset in charge of DNI
From this I conclude he would have been a truly mediocre Justice.

Merrick Garland turned out to be a wet noodle when we needed a sharpshooter.

These explain all that in detail.
What could have Garland done that wouldn't have been weaponizing the DOJ?
He PLAYED POLITICS and HELPED to hand the country over to LITERAL Domestic Terrorists.
He: Too political. to prosecute just after the election
Reality: It would be political either way.
He made the call, and the people lost.
We expected justice from Garland. We got screwed.

While the press back home spent decades looking the other way.
And let's not forget, he had a case dropped in his lap by Muller, that he simply ignored.
Garland may go down in history as the primary cause of our rule of law failing.
Laurence, he’s not “up there”
He IS there
#1 mistake of Biden
MG is EXACTLY why we’ve just taken a huge step towards a collapse of the American Republic
There are others
CNN/NYT/WaPo/and of course Fox News
But Garland is #1 and whoever is 2nd isn’t close
I'm not feeling any mercy toward Garland or his supporters.
What is Neville Chamberlain best known for?
As UK Prime Minister, Chamberlain is remembered for his support for the policy of appeasement towards Adolf Hitler over the annexation of Czechoslovakia and the signing Munich Agreement on 29 September 1938.
Biden was a pretty good president on most fronts, but history will remember him for this critical failure.
Garland did not do his job, clearly
But his boss, the POTUS, has a goddamn telephone
He could have been using any one of them phones to be up his AGs ass every goddamn day!
Preserve, Protect and Defend the Constitution
Establish Justice
He swore an oath and he chose to break it
If it was possible, it's very much on Garland for abandoning a more aggressive, legally proper course to defend the country
Because Garland was, and is, so Milquetoast, Democracy is toast.
But, at least he won't be a federal judge anymore.
Garland treated us like a client.

Garland hoped doing things by the book would stop Trump and he was wrong and it will cost a lot of lives. Young, beautiful, and smart people will die because this coward had his head in clouds and we have to suffer the consequnce.
I positively loathe the man, but I don’t see that
If you’ve read anything about him you know he’s always been a tepid, timid, ridiculously cautious figure. If the speed limit is 35, he drives 30. If it’s 10 he drives 7
He is who he is
Wrong guy/wrong job/wrong time
& protected terrorist
Abortion bombers.
For the Federalist Society. He is suppressing evidence for the insurrectionists & betraying our work.
He has not honored the word of USA or his own word.
Because of his failure, CEOs are now being shot on the streets.
The investigators face prosecution & death. Because under his watch he destroyed the rule of law.
Damn his evil heart
