1) Garland appointed special prosecutors who were appointed by Trump to investigate Trump and Biden classified documents cases. Both have connections to the Federalist Society. One actually has his own webpage on their website

2) The Biden classified documents leak came from the Garland DOJ when nothing else of note has leaked

Garland is either in the bag or dangerously naïve and ineffectual. If the former, nothing more need be said. If the latter, his naivety will lead him to avoid the dangers of indicting even if the special prosecutors recommend indictment (supposing they complete their investigations in a timely, focused manner).

prosecution of Trump's treason was tripped up and totally blindsided by Biden's mislaying of classified documents. We're invited to sample a fantasy of how Garland is somehow forced to slow his mad pace toward exposing the culprits of 1/6/2021 by the maddening clumsiness of Joe Biden's ineptitude. We're also supposed to believe that he was driven by a justifiable and righteous anger at Biden which impelled him to appoint a known Nazi as SC to go after Biden forever (ala Bill Clinton v K. Starr)?

BTW, the "forever" part is currently unobvious. That will change with time. Biden will be hounded into a state impotence for as long as Democrats dare to demand justice via the prosecution of Trump and his company of nit-wit traitors, run-of-the-mill-morons and common thieves or until the 2024 election cycle returns all power to the GOP.

Did I mention the part about this whole drama being an obvious plan for returning all power to the GOP? Just want to be sure we are clear on this important fact. It's happening just now because Garland is being called out, pretty much universally, as a simpering shill for MAGAT Inc.. A new and improved excuse was in order, so voila! Enter this "serious man on TeeVee" explaining the mind and motivations of the "life-long Democrat", Merrick Garland, celebrated socialist radical and all-round hammer of justice, renowned for his quick wit and decisive nature. And in this other corner, (Booooo!)Joe Biden(Booooo! some more), life-long criminal awaiting his sentencing and execution.
