Folks are starting to wonder what the hell AG Garland is doing in that big office. I mean, how long does it take to slap contempt charges on people who violate a subpoena, never mind that the Muller report is basically an indictment for Obstruction of Justice, never mind the crimes the Drumpf was committing on an almost daily basis when in the oval office, yet we get weak Parading Charges for the members of the insurrection. What's up with that?

maybe someone lied to you? whipped you up into a frenzy knowing it would get it a lot of people to vote for their side out of irrational fervor?

just a thought.

So, no opinion?

To a partisan such as yourself, he is obviously doing a crappy job.

The Mueller report was a waste of time following up previous lies by Democrats spread by Democrats as propaganda intended to deceive the weak minded.

It was, apparently, effective.

He's too worried about political blowback and appearances. He needs to forget about that stuff and just do his job.

America still has not shed all the intricate elements that white nationalist ideology groomed into people for decades upon decades, generation upon generations of not fully applying the law to acts that white people do that violate policies, systems and laws.

Every person who entered that Capitol on 1/6 if they had been "Black, Hispanic, Asian, Arab, Jewish or Pacific Islander other" would have slapped with all of the following charges:
Sec.
2381.
Treason.
2382.
Misprision of treason.
2383.
Rebellion or insurrection.
2384.
Seditious conspiracy.
2385.
Advocating overthrow of Government.
2386.
Registration of certain organizations.
2387.
Activities affecting armed forces generally.
2388.
Activities affecting armed forces during war.
2389.
Recruiting for service against United States.
2390.
Enlistment to serve against United States.

______________________________________________________

If a "Black, Hispanic, Asian, Arab, Jewish or Pacific Islander other" had done what Trump has done, everything would have been seized and the prison term would be "for life without the possibility of parole".
The Senate would have not only upheld the Impeachment, he would have been removed from office, and banned from every holding any type of job in any level of government, not even 'as a helper on a municipal grass cutting crew".

See people skirted over the concerns surrounding SCOTUS Kennedy, as it was Kennedy's son, who signed off on Loans for Trump via Deutsche Bank.

Thank God that Garland never saw the inside of the Supreme Court as a justice.
We owe Senator McConnell a giant thank you!

He has completely fail as the Attorney General. A partisan hack of the worst kind!

You offered many good potential answers to choose from, a few of them very hard to not pull the trigger on, but I chose other. It's a toss-up between him staying quiet and putting together a beautiful master plan for when to strike the iron of justice or he's doing a bang-up job duplicating Mr Rogers Neighborhood because he has to be related to Mr Rogers as far as I am concerned. So, as much as AG Garland is intelligent and knows his rule of law, etc. he doesn't have that natural taste for destroying wild predators needed in today's very toxic and dangerous terrain. imo

Could you imagine if AG Barr was one who actually sought true justice for the people and were today our US AG? It's mainly all about one's personality - to shred criminals to pieces! I believe that he too may keep secret a much bigger legal boom for later on but he'd also show a sign or two of actual justice along the way. He's no Mr Rogers.

Since this 1/6 TrumpGate is as big as it is, we could afford some signs of justice churning on those who are obviously guilty by not cooperating like they should. Hell, there's enough sorry sh*ts connected to 1/6 that one could be bagged almost every week for something or another. Once bagged, cream puff elites start missing their plush life and usually decide to roll on the big turd. That's needed!!! That's how justice works. So yeah, Mr Rogers needs to man up some! imo

I know. I think he is being cowed by political considerations. Basically he is letting domestic terrorists intimidate the law. That does not make for a good attorney general.
 
Other: Merrick Garland is a great big *****.
 
Merrick is doing about as I expected.

Poorly.

But at least he doesn't appear to be corrupt.

I appreciate his sentiments but such sentiments are horrifically misplaced and will do more long term damage than actively doing something.
 
I think Garland, knows what the constraints are and how detailed the data has to be to apply the laws to what decades and decades of "bastardizing layers have done to try and convolute the law".. so... even though I said the system was rife with the history of white nationalism of wealth white male dominance, I do think there is in today's society enough technology and other data relevant things in society, that Garland, will and likely does understand that deep dive diligence must be utilized to cover all the points and factors that "criminal minded bastardizers" have used for decades to abuse the systems and avoid the penalties that the law calls for. I don't like the he has not gone full on, against the 1/6 treasonous, but it's likely because we have too much Republican political opposition that will do nothing but fight against the AG and everything else to try and give these white treasonous a pass.
So, it is necessary that the House continue it work to strengthen the laws and make sure policy structure is sound and has safeguards against the stuff that was done over the past 4 yrs of Trump and Republicanism.

All such things are part of the slower pace of the process... because there is much that needs to be done to ensure that what happed by the mobster Trump and the Republican Mob Crew and their Terrorist's Insurrection fools soldiers, cannot happen again


The cracks in how the laws has let white nationalist influence it, is showing... its not fully broken open to expose and apply the full scope of the law to white and wealthy white people, but ... like a crack in a dam.... it will eventually break and spread until the entire dam collapse.

That is what we are witnessing every day of the cracks that spread to break down the dams of white nationalism that was built in every system in America for 100's of years.
Lincoln, put a crack in it with the abolition of slavery, Roosevelt put a crack in it by making Social Security apply for everyone, LBJ put a crack in it with the abolition of legalized segregation, and Medicare for everyone over the age of 65 and gave teeth to the means to prosecute discrimination.
Obama put a crack in it by ACA which gave everyone the right to medical coverage with or without pre-existing conditions.
Trump ran around trying to put Band-Aid's on all those cracks, trying to keep "white nationalist ideology as the dam, that kept power in the hands of white men only.
Biden, is putting cracks in the dam by making sure " Diversity of Person, who is Individual", is represented in and through out the Government and The Courts. He will add additional crack when the mid terms remove republican opposition, and the Infrastructure bills sets the stage and start the steps and programs that moves forward to fix and repair and rebuild America from the bottom up 'For the Benefit of "Everyone" !!!

The white nationalist dam will collapse, and that means people than can and will flow freely to all areas and levels within our business, industry, government, and civic and civil organization and agencies that work to the benefit and development of America for all persons, "equally" as individuals.
 
Even if the laws were fixed, letting these people go without an eye for an eye will just embolden them. Ive said several times that just getting trump out of office was never going to be enough.
 
The Watergate investigation ran for two years until completion. It's been 13 months so far for the J6 investigation. Garland isn't going to jump the gun and mess things up just because we are an instant gratification society.

Its more a worry that if we dont get this done it will happen again or the GOP will just end it.
