Is Merrick Garland finally ready to indict Donald Trump Over the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol?
The Hill ^ | 03/15/2022 | James D. Zirin

The media have been quick to rubbish Attorney General Merrick Garland for his failure so far to indict former President Trump over the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. They have tarred him with epithets worthy of Trump himself, such as "Merrick the Mild" and "Merrick the Meek." And a host of former prosecutors and law professors have criticized his inaction, saying that Garland needs to indict Trump to vindicate the rule of law.

We don't know for certain, but it appears that Garland's Justice Department has yet to convene a grand jury to investigate the affair. Were they subpoenaing witnesses before the grand jury, we would have heard something about it from reporters hanging around the court house or from the witnesses' lawyers.

Justice appears to be riding the coattails of the House Select Committee, which has served a flurry of subpoenas, and has already referred two recalcitrant witnesses, Steve Bannon and Mark Meadows, to Justice for criminal prosecution only to see Bannon indicted for a misdemeanor and Meadows so far uncharged some fourscore and seven days after the criminal reference.

The case against Meadows is a simple one, and the long delay is vexing. It is possible that Justice is using the time to investigate, but this seems unlikely in light of the Doric simplicity of the facts. Meadows refused to testify. Full stop. It is also possible that Justice had decided not to indict Meadows for contempt of Congress; but then, why the silence? If they had let Meadows know he was off the hook, he would have loudly told the press about how he was exonerated. Finally, it is possible that the government and Meadows are crafting a deal, some testimony in exchange for no indictment. Time will certainly tell us the answer.

The witch hunt continues; as you pay 7$ gas, eat 7.9% inflation and rising, have forced racism taught to your kid, trans rapes in schools, bigoted cancel culture infect businesses and threaten your job, endure skyrocketing violent crime, and all out war.

Because I believe it is newsworthy.

Why do you bother to read this thread if you think it’s crap?

LOL! Just because pinkos want it, does not make it so.
This stupid horse crap should end, but as long as pinkos are wasting their time on this, they are doing less evil to the USA, I guess.

Yes, yes, “the walls are closing in”. Lots of this sort of self-pleasuring on the Left. If the DOJ thought they could maintain the fiction they might try it, but they’ve seen the tapes and they know the reason why we haven’t.

Garland can cook up whatever kangaroo trial he wants, but I can’t imagine ANY jury unanimously convicting Trump of this nonsense or any other “trumped up” charge. Hell, even in San Francisco, 1 out of 9 voters voted from Trump in 2020.

Garland: “Shoot these rabid dogs. Death to this gang who hide their ferocious teeth, their eagle claws, from the people! Down with that vulture Trump, from whose mouth a bloody venom drips, putrefying the great ideals of progressivism!... Down with these abject animals! Let’s put an end once and for all to these miserable hybrids of foxes and pigs, these stinking corpses! Let’s exterminate the mad dogs of capitalism, who want to tear to pieces the flower of our new Biden-led nation! Let’s push the bestial hatred they bear our leaders back down their own throats!”

Could the jury demand the tapes. If refuse, Not Guilty is the verdict

Or...maybe the can pull this simmering rabbit out of it's hat just in time for the 2024 election. Just like they held the impeachment papers until after the covid hit Seattle. The very same day, as I recall.

There IS an alternative plan (by the bad guys) you know, and we are watching it play out before our eyes.

WOW! I hope you feel a little calmer. That pretty much summed up the opposition. Be safe, stay cool. Yogi says ā€œit ainā€™t over till the fat lady singsā€. Our song is coming up.

I am sick and tired of these idiots wasting our hard earned tax dollars. Pray that God intervenes in this madness. The churches were asleep at the wheel or willing accomplices when these people took office . . .this just didn’t happen over night. . as in decades/centuries.
