BREAKING: Merrick Garland began investigating Trump and the coup the week he got to the DoJ. It was actually Trump holdovers in the FBI that were reluctant to investigate.
Actually it’s not breaking. It came out in March. But cable news decided not to tell you. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/22/us/politics/trump-jan-6-merrick-garland.html

He only hired Jack when he had no choice after Trump filed the paperwork to run for POTUS.
By then it was too late.
I've never been allowed to be "reluctant" to a boss. Merrick Garland failed. Period.
Take your pick, Garland-lovers.
We definitely need to focus on reform of our systems not "recovering" or restoring to fantasies of what worked well (for some) a few years ago
No more maga thinking
This is why ya'll are stuck in gov. and hacky journalism.

The only question you should be asking yourself is this; are you willing to pick up a weapon and stand the post?
If not, go hide.
Merritt Garland was weak and ineffective.
AND ...
CORRUPTed MSM sure liked Blaming Merrick Garland
responsible for Not Investigated... Nichole Wallace went
after Garland NON-STOP
.
Nothing kept Garland from naming special prosecutors for Trump, several of Trumps admin who Trumps own IG recommended for prosecution, prosecutors for 147 members of congress who actively took party in a planned coup attempt.
Of all the junk drawer appointments this one is the most dangerous. Kari Lake at the Voice of America?
Now they’ll be blasting their MAGA lies globally! Stop Lake VOP

Ta!
Garland: Execute this warrant.
Trump Holdover: I'm not comfortable with that.
G: Fine, gather your things, and security will escort you from the building.
TH: Wait, maybe we could ...
G: No, just get your things and find the door. We are done here.
Garland is the AG FFS.
It's just an insult to people with functioning brains.
And then to say well scotus would have stopped the trials is also BS.
At least make an attempt to hold him accountable like all of us would face.
Pay attention to the real problem, what tRump is doing!
Ta.
MERRICK GARLAND WAS AND IS AN INSURRECTIONIST!
Could you be anymore condescending?
Take your sorry not sorry & shove it
What more would you have liked Garland to do? I think he should have appointed a special counsel back in 2021. But SCOTUS would have stopped it in the end regardless. That’s who I’m mad at.
You act as if oh well it's okay. They did this & that so they're fine. No, the hell they're not. They dammed us
Fact is, blame:
- the 49% of the voters who elected him.
- the Republican Senate that failed to convict
- tRump for lying, cheating and inciting
- Musk for buying votes and using propoganda.
Blaming Garland is a distraction, don't fall for it.
Keep your eyes on the real problem at hand.
Ta!
If he had weed growing in his back yard, DEA would have seized the house and arrested everyone, and made them defend themselves as charges are filed. But national defense secrets? We can’t be hasty… what a joke this country has become.
I legitimately believe abundance of caution, preponderance of evidence mentality was both correct and reasonable.
Too bad the court was bought and paid for.
Ta!
We don’t pay them for that.
They call it caution when they don’t investigate burglaries or kidnappings too.
It’s dangerous!!!
Do you seriously not get the perceived risk of angry pro-trump militias by congress/government?
While i think we should have immediately sentenced trump during impeachment, riots are not generally desired in countries in the west.
Ta!
Sure, there is a lot of blame to go around. The largest share goes to the American voter, who put their hatred, misogyny, racism, and willful ignorance above democracy and even their own economics. And then there are the greedy ones.
Is he responsible for starting the fire?
No, Trump is.
Is he responsible for who, how, and when fire fighters were deployed, methods they used, and that a lot of them finished their sandwiches before turning on their hoses—and only at half pressure?
Y E S
These are called facts. Garland arrested Trump twice and had two trials on the calendar before the election. The Supreme Court canceled them. By blaming garland, were Supreme Court “washing”.
I think you’re confusing his responsibility in this as total blame. It wasn’t just him, but he was far from aggressive and the wrong person for the job.
Garland tried?
Dude, STFU
Like the Dems, you just don’t get it - do you?
RESULTS.
Voters want RESULTS!
History doesn’t remember those who “tried”.
I hate the GOP but you can’t deny that they GET RESULTS. Bad for America results - they just don’t try.

But for feckless Democratic leadership, Garland would have been put on the Supreme Court-
not appearing to be the dithering dolt running the DOJ.
#DemocraticClownCar
Why didn't he replace Trumps picked FBI Director?
Why did he go with Merrick Garland?
These choices proved to be damaging.
Do you sincerely think Sally Yates, for example, would have allowed her hands to be tied for 20 months because of "reluctant FBI investigators?"
Mike Sherwin at DoJ resigned while under misconduct investigation 30 April 2021? The Head of DC FBI Steve D’Antuono couldn’t be fired by Garland but was sidelined for slow walking subpoenas and search warrants.
What else don’t you know yet complain about?
1.
That somehow the DOJ controls the Judicial branch, including SCOTUS.
2.
That earlier DOJ indictments would have made a difference in the outcome.
Both are profoundly incorrect.

As for "the leaders," the Proud Boy and other leaders were convicted. I think people underestimate Trump's deniability for the whole thing.
There's "everybody knows he was in charge" and there's evidence that you can use in court.
And don't forget the SCOTUS 6, who showed their willingness to be partisan hacks.
That's not exactly as damning as INSURRECTION.
Had garland indicted earlier, the Supreme Court would have cancelled the trials earlier.
Your post has been SO helpful. I’ve gone through all the comments and followed everyone who has said that this NYT article is complete HORSE SHIT. I’m now connected with others who think as I do.
For someone w reputation of dotting every i and crossing every t, he failed massively.
The purge is coming.
And did Garland investigate ANY of the Republican Senators and Representatives who helped plan and organize January 6th?
Because our side always takes the institutionalist bullshit road.
And did any of these search warrants result in any charges filed? Or was it just performance politics?
Decorum was more important than Democracy.
None.
Today would be 20 months ago and not cancelled.
It isn't her fault. We live in a racist and misogynistic country.
You have laid out the events nicely. We differ on how these were managed
Trump defeated the judicial system and shredded the Const.
Dem virtue-signalers incl but not lmted to Garland enabled.
Biden should just release the fckng reports. Stop the legal gobbledygook.
Didn’t matter in the end. SCOTUS canceled the trials.
No…
SCOTUS delayed the trials.
Fucking This is Fucking Ignorant and you should both be Fucking ashamed of yourselves for Fucking regurgitating Fucking nonsense just because it Fucking channels your Fucking spite. This Fucking rubbish only Fucking helps Fucking Trump. FuckingFuck
