35. she's literally ragging on President Biden

...it's her thing to bash Democrats.

But you bring this trash of hers here like someone is supposed to genuflect to some anon poster who can't keep our party out of her troll mouth, all fine and dandy because she criticizes Garland.

That's the long and short of this Garland scapegoating. It originated in a WaPo columnist's incomplete, and factually wrong article, and spread as a meme because of 'time passed'.

Not a word about the perps appealing every bit of evidence collected since 2021 and run through successive courts up to the maga majority on the Supreme Court.

Not a word about the Trump-appointed judges delaying those hearings in concert with the Trump team's appeals.

Not a word about how long the grand jury took to bring forth a recommendation for charges. Not a word about that process at all.

Just this dirt-dumb haranguing of Garland like he's the one who determines what's being charged by the grand jury recommendation, and not the SC who ultimately approves or rejects that decision.

All of this bashing him for not bringing charges earlier like there's something critics actually know, but won't tell us, about the state of evidence they have no way of knowing about outside of court filings or perps talking.

No one on this thread has posted even a shred of evidence they KNOW DOJ had access to and permission by appeals judges to use in their prosecutions.

Not ONE shred of proof of this criticisms other than 'time passed.' But it's certainly popular to second-guess two dozen of the nation's top career prosecutors by claiming it was Garland's job to bring charges, instead of a grand jury, or to claim he was responsible as an agency administrator for anything other than approving the product of the people he hired to work for him.

Most of these criticisms are perpetuated on pure fiction. Not including proof is what keeps this Garland bashing aloft on a cloud of outrage and scapegoating.

It's as if critics can't bring themselves to talk about ANY of the perps' obstruction of those DOJ efforts, or the republican and Trump-appointed judges who did the vast majority of the delaying until the election.

All of the Garland bashing actually serves as a barrier to criticizing people whose actual aim was delaying the DOJ efforts. It functions like an actual opposition to DOJ's investigation, mostly indistinguishable from any other Garland bashing.

But this man who is being accused of being a republican, a federalist, or some kind of defender of republicans or Trump actually prosecuted over 1200 white supremacist Trumper rioters who are gifted with this derision of Garland for 'just focusing on 'foot soldiers' for arresting and convicting maga rioters on charges up to the crime of Sedition.

That's actually DOWNPLAYED in favor of this bullshit that he protecting some Trump interest. No matter to critics that the Jan.6 congressional committee that so many slobbered over focused almost exclusively on the rioters.

Moreover, in the last filing Jack Smith made to Judge Chutkan, he outlined the responsibility he had found Trump bore for the riot, and indicated he had included testimony from actual rioters and riot leaders to make that case in his indictment.

We already knew Garland had obtained cooperation from at least a dozen PBs and Oath Keepers, but all critics would bother to say about it was this derision that they had just arrested 'small fry, ' as if that isn't the way most cases obtain evidence up the chain.

Reasoning from Garland critics hasn't followed actual law, procedure, or anything even remotely associated with the actual prosecutions other than repeating nonsense posted on the internet, and sharing people's internet fantasy prosecution game takes.

Garland late, Garland bad, isn't an argument. It's a tell for people who know absolutely nothing of substance about the investigations and prosecutions, and can't tell you any of the details of any of it, even after all of this time passed.
