Merry Garland is a loser. He’s letting the Snowflakes push him around the way they do Biden and it’s making him look pretty bad.

Why would he care about the public trust?

Respect is earned, ESPECIALLY from a government known for its corruption and overtly political misuse of the judicial system. What Garland has earned, instead, is the utter contempt of the public.

Yep. Evil. Unchecked evil doesn’t have to be worry about trust.

All he cares about is his wounded ego and is seeking revenge as a bitter old flaming liberal!

Secret documents are on a need to know basis.

Did 30 FBI agents have to be placed in a position to learn important secrets, or were there no secrets, but just blatant intended intimidation of conservatives?

There hasn’t been an AG like him since Woodrow Wilson’s time.

You’d be upset too if Trump’s 2016 victory kept you off the Supreme Court.

The Wicked Witch of Westchester wasn’t the only person Trump got in the way of.

“Merry Garland is a loser. He’s letting the Snowflakes push him around the way they do Biden and it’s making him look pretty bad.”

He’s betting the deep state can fend off any challenges to its power in the next 4-8 years.

Based on history, it’s a pretty good bet. If he’s right, he will retire to a very lucrative law practice and the universal worship of the old media.

Garland will not be “unservicable” re any congressional subpoena or grand jury summons if the Republicans take either or both houses of Congress or if an honest US District attorney convenes one.

Garland the Rat could be in one trap he can’t wiggle his corrupt ass out of.

He might get our trust back, in the year 2525. 🤪

Why does this esteemed legal author believe these were missed opportunities?

They weren’t missed. Decisions were made. You don’t make choices like this unless you are desperate, powerful, and immune from consequences.

The raid broke several laws and was the second worst dirty trick the public has witnessed. The left doesn’t care. The Constitution and law only is important when they can use it to reference their actions.

For heaven’s Dr. Turley, open your eyes. Merrick Garland is MONSTER.

Ramsey Clark (Johnson’s AG) was even worse than Garland.
He was even farther left than McGovern was at the time.

Until his time ends, and even after it does, Garland will defiantly fly both middle fingers in the face of the nation. It’s who he is.

“Garland the Rat could be in one trap he can’t wiggle his corrupt ass out of.”

Even if we take both house and senate, we don’t control law enforcement. DOJ just ignores R contempt of court references (see e.g. Eric Holder). So Merrick’s testimony will be as illuminating as McCabe’s. I will not testify about ongoing investigations.

(Of course he’ll leak like a broken water main and half the leaks will be flat out lies.) But he won’t comment under penalty of perjury.

I don’t see how we force meaningful testimony out of him.
