Merrick Garland was not selected to be Joe Biden’s Attorney General because the crew in control of the events wanted Merrick Garland as Attorney General. Garland was removed from his position as DC Circuit Court Justice in order to make room for Ketanji Brown-Jackson to take Garland’s place, get Senate confirmed and then await the resignation of Supreme Court Justice Stephen Bryer.
As a standalone Supreme Court nominee, Judge Ketanji Brown-Jackson would have been a radical pick. Judge Brown-Jackson was a known activist in the DC District Court; however, by removing Garland as chief circuit justice and replacing him with KBJ, who needed Senate confirmation as chief circuit justice, she could get through a later Senate confirmation easier and then sit on the Supreme Court for thirty years. Garland was removed to make room for KBJ. It was a strategy.
Garland was a U.S. Attorney General in name only. The actual lead of the DOJ was from Obama’s crew, Deputy AG Lisa Monaco.

Heinrich Garland is pure evil
Sundance is wrong on this one. It just worked out that way.
Sounds plausible to me!

“Sundance is wrong on this one. It just worked out that way.”
Oh, I have no trouble believing that Obama was pulling the strings at the Justice Department through Monaco.
That is some coincidence.
“ Oh, I have no trouble believing that Obama was pulling the strings at the Justice Department through Monaco.”
The larger question is who was and still is “guiding” Obama. Obama has never given any hint that he is capable of strategic thinking at such a level.
This explains a lot of Garland’s actions and lack of actions. Thank God he never made it to the USSC.
So many sociopaths. So little time.
Plausible, but is it factual; circumstantial consequences are not evidence, they are mostly assumptions.
Garland was the biggest loser at every level, which is nice.
They were rewarding Garland for losing the SCOTUS nomination in a way that was payback for Republicans.
Brown's nomination to SCOTUS was coincidental.
