I watched it live. Waste of time.
Garland was late, probably because his staff was wordsmithing to the very end.
Nothing burger from him.
He assured us of the objectivity of the DOJ. This is the same guy who sent FBI agents to hassle and spy on concerned parents at PTA meetings on the basis of a teachers’ union letter solicited by the White House.
He would have made a great SCJ../s
It wasn’t a complete waste. If Wray’s Raiders had found something we’d have heard about today, right? They got bubkis.
Yes, indeed. Among other things for which impeachment has been discussed. This raid will give the press cover to turn his own scandals into supposed Trump / GOP scandals if the House starts to investigate those other issues...may even prefer the House investigate this raid vs. all of those other issues to muddy the waters.
Garland was late because he was clearing it with the WH.
His statement was:
“The sky is blue and FBI is brave and fearless.
See yah, wouldn’t want to be yah.”
The person who inserted “where possible” into his statement opened a big can of worms.
