The President is immune under the Constitution from allegations of crime and any utterance, communication or other conveyance of such. The order is reversed and all persons are permanently enjoined consistent with the decision of the majority herein.
Garland is a traitor to justice, he failed the American people, and many will die due to his malfeasance. I can only believe he part of the group happily destroying democracy, what a joke of an AG, no better than the crook Barr.
Garland has been the biggest disappointment. I know people say give him a break blah blah blah but that was the wrong position for him and he should have declined it. If only we’d had a fighter. Sigh …
I will never understand how such a large number of Americans have totally abandoned our Constitution and laws to support such a corrupt meanspirited felon. Somehow we must get back to a better America. https://bsky.app/profile/weissmann11.bsky.social/post/3lfinkhesbc2y
Garland is the biggest disappointment for the Biden administration. I don't believe he ever had any intention of bringing the planners of the January 6 insurrection to justice. I know people, especially former justice department folk want to believe, but I don't.
Truly grateful for his and his team's diligence and hard work and really putting their lives on the line. They did the best they could with what they got and I appreciate them for getting as far as they did.
Fire Garland now. I think he deserves the ignominy. Why should he drift off into the sunset without a kick in the butt?
Then let the deputy AG release it.
The US had FOUR YEARS to deal with Trump, and failed spectacularly. If democracy survives in your country, you’ll need to seriously re-think, and change, your legal system.
Clearly the American legal system doesn’t work and won’t be fixed until Dems with standards have taken over.
Not sure it will ever happen. The world needs to give up on America as a bastion of anything for a while.
Merrick Garland would have been a good and thoughtful SCOTUS Justice, but as an AG he has done little to nothing but sit on his hands hemming and hawing for the last 4 years while Donald Trump and his cronies have avoided being held accountable for their crimes against the American people. ⚖️👨🏼⚖️🇺🇸🐶🇺🇸👨🏼⚖️⚖️
We all know AG. Garland will be fired by Trump. AG. Garland can make the right call and release the report. Americans have the right to know what is in the report.
It’s another dark day. But Jack Smith is resilient, a true believer in Justice. We WILL be hearing from him again. I just have high hopes it will be him hauling the felon thru the Hague. I await whatever he has going on next …
I don't want to believe it, but what else can anyone (that is sane) think? Justice will prevail? Actions have consequences? Elected officials will actually try to carry out promises they make to constituents and the constitution? I am feeling defeated and trying very hard to see anything positive.
Sorry. I just wanna be prepared for the absolute worst (Smith’s reports never get out to public in my lifetime) but I actually hope I am eventually proven wrong. Sometimes it takes seeing my worst fear typed out and posted for the micro-dose of hope to exist. Is that weird logic?
I suspect history will not be kind to AG Garland. What a terrible example of what leadership isn’t. This man lacks passion, drive and energy. Passivity isn’t what leadership is about. Just as well, he never made it to the Supreme Court, it would have been a terrible waste of a lifetime appointment.
I doubt that report will ever be released. But what would it matter, anyway? We all saw with our own eyes his complicity and instigation of the J6 insurrection and all of the classified documents he stole all over his house, including his bathroom. Vile
Garland is only another cowardly Republican appointee. I was going to use the word ‘just’ instead of ‘only’ but couldn’t stomach putting Garland and just in the same sentence.
Well I have heard reporting that Garland is going to release Smith's report, but stupidly sit on the Maralago documents case report because it would prejudice 2 co-defendants - whom we all know will be pardoned in 9 days. Garland, at best, is a dinosaur 🦕 on that one.
Garland the castrated weak human does not have one bold accomplishment on his resume. He and Robert Mueller will go down in history as complete failures in every regard. Trump scared them into submission. Period!
It should be noted, here, that John Ashcroft managed to protect this country’s reputation and faithfully serve the rule of law while he was in an intensive-care unit.
I don’t have a lot of sympathy for Garland’s quandary, here.
Garland needs to consider the broader history and make everything public. His caution has cost us everything while benefiting DOJ very little if at all.
I wish AG Garland would do the right thing. After all the very hard work Jack Smith and his team have done, it is only right that the report is released and before January 20
if our system of “justice” is so easily manipulated by the rich it isn’t worth the volumes of law it’s based on . When does the people’s right to know something as consequential as overthrowing the government outweigh the shenanigans we see here?
Garland is a spineless failure!
Garland will disappoint us again and Jack's great effort will just be an anecdote this decade. Hopefully Smith will go back to the ICC and punish epic ne'er-do-wells there.
It’s not Garland’s call. It’s Biden’s call, and he can fire Garland today and have the reports released. Garland was the worst waste of space at the DOJ.
If Garland the Weak doesn't release that report and evidence -- for all of the cases -- he cements his position as one of the worst AJs. TWO YEARS he stalled the arrest and trial of *rump. Almost alone he is responsible for the hell that is to come.
Why hasn’t AG Garland dropped the cases against Nauta and De Oliveira, which 47 will do anyway, and released both volumes of Jack Smith’s report? AG Garland may be held responsible by history for failing to hold a former President, an indicted criminal, accountable for his conduct.
The immunity decision was written by the Heritage Foundation to protect one man: Donald Trump, from financial crimes, and for falsifying election results to the American people to force his way into power. They know he does the first all the time, and that he did the second thing.
Lol. The rule of law applies to the extent that the rule of law is respected, no further. Once the rule of law is disrespected, it is revealed for the shared fiction that it is.
The Supreme Court of the United States has stripped the emperor, and boldly told us he is exquisitely dressed.
Please tell me that it’s not locked in some safe that will never open? Or that someone has a copy and would release based on the need of the public to know. It’s our Government
The January 6th committee did such an amazing job that Garland had to do something. He moved at snail speed until Jack Smith was hired. Garland owes the American people the release of both volumes! Period
How demoralising for Jack Smith & the whole prosecution team. All that work, masterfully negotiating Cannon's trip wires along the way, for the report to just get quietly filed away in the warehouse next to the Ark of the Covenant.
I hope he returns to the international criminal court and gets another go at Trump from there someway somehow. Maybe the rest of the world can get the justice our leaders were to chicken to get.
Garland became AG because Joe Biden felt bad for him. Doesn’t mean he was a bad choice…yet! Release the report so when we have a constitutional crisis we have a 360-degree view of the circumstances.
Garland pissed away two years then dumped the mess in Smith’s lap. Smith did his job and is a patriot. Garland’s timidity is why Trump was not held accountable.

He sat on his ass when stolen Classified documents were unsecured in Trumps guest restroom for nearly 2 yrs.
past history suggests, will never see the report.

Jack Smith is at the top of Trump the rapist's "hit list".
Truly grateful for his and his team's diligence and hard work and really putting their lives on the line. They did the best they could with what they got and I appreciate them for getting as far as they did.
Then let the deputy AG release it.
DO IT!!!!!
Not sure it will ever happen. The world needs to give up on America as a bastion of anything for a while.
A giant disappointment.
True love of justice & equality is worth living for.
Merrick Garland should have released both reports when they were finished no requirement for Trump to review them.
Publish now we the taxpayers have paid for these reports!!!
Watch…
in nine days we will be governed by a mob boss and his crime family.
nothing is going to change that.
four years will render this country unrecognizable. we'll be a theocracy, a kleptocracy, another member of the Putin autocratic sphere.
I don’t have a lot of sympathy for Garland’s quandary, here.

Joe Biden needs to official act the release of box reports
I’ll be very disappointed if he doesn’t get both volumes out to the public this week
Call it a hunch.
Garland is a spineless failure!
Garland hasn't yet figured out that it doesn't work when only 1 side observes conventional democratic norms and plays by the rules.
Garland is afraid.
They all are
SCOTUS has made it clear that if Biden orders it, it's legal.
Patriots make sacrifices, that's what makes them patriots.
The Supreme Court of the United States has stripped the emperor, and boldly told us he is exquisitely dressed.
We'll never see it.
The law comnunity over-hyped Merrick Garland. He has not proven worthy of that praise. We don't trust him.
except insofar as President Biden could intervene
among other ways he could intervene is by pardoning Nauta and De Oliveira, the 2 remaining defendants in Florida
that would clear way for DOJ to issue both volumes
(at that point Cannon, who doesn't have any legit jurisdiction, would have < 0)
It says he's a criminal.
There you go.
Now what?
Closure is important.
Then Steven Beshloss can write the books was witness to this unfortunate death. ☠️
#resist
The majority of Americans want to see it!
I do!
Who else?
