I heard he got all kinds of access to all kinds of stuff through his DOGE government work.
That was smart...
I’m guessing Garland wanting to “move past” perceived political vendettas was the primary motive here, not because he was trying to protect donors. It took him over one year to look into Jan 6. And that was only after Cheney and the Jan 6 commission made it so obvious that Garland needed to investigate it that the DOJ would’ve been burned down had he ignored it any longer. Garland was overly cautious. Had garland done his job and delivered swift justice instead of tip toeing around everything, we would be in a far better place right now.
I'm going to go a bit further and say that there should have been a pile of bodies on the doorstep of the capitol on Jan. 6th like there would have been if the people doing what they did would have been black.
He absolutely should’ve faced severe justice, rendering him ineligible for public office and behind bars. Garland was woefully insufficient for the moment and we’re all paying for it. Which is why I’m pretty sure the Epstein list was put on ice. He was too cautious and didn’t want to split the country further with what would likely be perceived as weaponizing the DOJ. Which, ironically is what the GOP accused him of doing anyway and what they’re actively doing today. Democrats consistently being butter knives to gun fights. At some point they need to fight back and fight back hard. And the damn public needs to support them for longer than 5 seconds or else our democracy is doomed (it might actually have already passed that point).
That's jan 6. A huge mistake they didn't go against it hard. But Epstein is something else entirely.
How so?
You are missing the subtext. The issues that prompted the failure to go after the Jan 6th insurrection could have been as simple as delays from the other departments brought on by the republicans trying to keep the window open to hopefully win the next election, in which they succeeded. The Epstein issue is more likely to be those with deep pockets who did not want their name dragged through the mud, therefore affecting dem and repub just as likely and with much stronger push-back affecting politicians on both sides. Completely different scenarios. Threatening a political party with losing an election is a completely different animal from threatening to tie big and powerful names forever to full-on pedophilia. The former potentially ties up committees for a long time in litigation, the latter ends up with questionable suicides as soon as it is clear they might be willing to spill the beans instead of go down alone. Night and day scenarios.
Disagree. Where has it been reported that garland dragged his feet because he was waiting for other agencies to conduct investigations? I’ve never read this. Yet, it been reported many times that it wasn’t until Cheney and the Jan 6 commission put pressure on him that he finally acted. Had Cheney and the Jan 6 commission not happened or not been as successful, it’s likely that many of the Jan 6 investigations would’ve stalled out… well stalled out even worse than they ended up doing.
Please point out where I stated it was sealed in court as a fact? Thank you for your overreaction though. You always take the side of the "sainted" democrats vs the "demonic" republican as reliably as Trump diddled children. You need to break through your blinders and see the world of politics for what it really is, and corruption rarely is a fully one-sided thing.
Overreaction? Sainthood of Democrats? Huh? Why are you acting like this? I don’t think anything I’ve said should justify this type of post from you.
