Democratic strategist James Carville described Attorney General Merrick Garland as “horribly naive” for how long it took him to prosecute President-elect Donald Trump.
Garland appointed special counsel Jack Smith in November 2022, days after Trump announced he would run for the presidency again, with the special counsel first indicting him in June 2023. Responding to a listener question on “Politics War Room” about how poorly history would perceive Garland “for failing to adequately investigate and indict Trump soon enough,” Carville argued the attorney general was overly “respectful of tradition” and “institutions.”
LISTEN:
“I think that Merrick Garland is gonna go down as a man so respectful of tradition and so respectful of institutions that he was really — kind of strange to say this about a guy that was an appellate court judge, experienced and highly trained attorney — he was naive,” Carville said. “He was trying to play by one set of rules and everybody’s playing by another set of rules. And I don’t think he’s a bad guy. I think at the end of the day he’s just a horribly naive man that had no idea what he was up against.”
Smith’s initial indictment of Trump was the first federal indictment of a former U.S. president in American history. The special counsel also indicted Trump for election interference in August 2023, and subsequently filed a superseding indictment after the Supreme Court ruled in July that presidents possess immunity from prosecution for “official acts.”
The Department of Justice (DOJ) is reportedly considering how to wind down its cases against Trump as he prepares to commence his second presidential term in January. DOJ policy prohibits the criminal prosecution of sitting presidents.
Trump asserted in October that he would fire Smith “within two seconds” of taking office.

Think all this baloney about prosecuting Trump had best just go away. They have nothing on him.
I would enjoy kicking the cr@p out of that greasy EX-marine.
If Trump committed such egregious crimes, why did they wait until he was running for President again to prosecute him for them?
So he admits he wanted a political prosecution of Trump to keep him off the ballot.
Carville is a devils serpent. Always has been.
From the man who no doubt helped Bubba slow walk the investigations into his real crimes, as opposed to the make- it-up as you go along prosecutions of Trump.
It’s rather an admission by Carville that the prosecutions were political. He doesn’t care.
James adequately represents the serpent.. as has garland the snake!
Are reptiles slimy?
Carville acts like he’s dipping into the moonshine a lot.
Carville needs to go for a swim with the gators . Enough outta that moron already
Jack Smith will be working in a Bugtussle Legal Aid office with Kim Wexler in 2025.
I wonder if his wife Mary Matalin has read “Arsenic and Old Lace?”
The title of Joseph Kesselring’s 1941 play titled Arsenic and Old Lace originates from the modus operandi (mode of operation) of sisters Martha and Abby who kill elderly men by lacing their wine with arsenic.
That marriage is the strangest of many. Politically they are total opposites but oddly love each other with a family and children with two daughters. I wish the “Raging Cajun” well with family and wife but at the same time wish him total political defeat.
Protecting the institution is Job #1.
Live by the deep state, die by the deep state, James.
Actually no. They do lie or as the saying goes “like a snake”.
no
he misjudged Trump
Trump does not give up
Carville is a regular user of cannabis gummies. Consequently, the man’s perception of time and his logical reasoning skills are distorted.
If I remember correctly, Mary Matlin, a conservative woman who was foolish enough to marry this serpent, was very involved and vocal.
I haven’t seen nor heard from her in...forever.
I wonder if James swallowed her up in a frenzy.
