The Wreckage Merrick Garland Leaves Behind
10th November 2024
Public Notice, a Voice of the Crust.
We really dodged a bullet when this guy didn’t make it onto the Supreme Court.
It has often been said that Donald Trump was running for president to keep himself out of prison. Mission accomplished.
But the fact that Trump wasn’t behind bars long ago, that he didn’t suffer any consequences for his criming and now likely never will, can be laid squarely at the feet of one man: Attorney General Merrick Garland. Garland dragged his feet on prosecuting Trump for election interference and pilfering classified documents, making it easy for him to run out the clock.
Coming in on the heels of a literal insurrection, Garland was a bad fit for his job from the jump. He made clear early on that he didn’t see addressing issues from the Trump era as a priority, declaring that he would not look backward. Garland is an institutionalist, leading him to see his real job as protecting the Department of Justice rather than imposing any consequences on Bill Barr and others who turned the DOJ into a corrupt playground.
Apparently his chief fault was not being a more thoroughgoing Democrat tool. Good to know.
