The same guy who refused to comply with a subpoena over his insurrection activities is now threatening to go after entire agencies if they don't comply with their theater.

Garland is a disgrace to allow these fools to remain free.

Garland is a disgrace

Worth repeating.

The left is a gutless party and has been for a while. Garland is just a cog in the wheel of the party that talks a good game but rarely delivers.

Why are you mad at Garland? Because he won't sacrifice his career on the alter of white supremacy?

It's your system.

Why are you mad at Garland?

Because he's spent the past two years sitting on his thumb and spinning.

The best justice is the justice that is delivered based on a solid base of evidence, which is not necessarily something that comes quickly.

I would agree, OCU, were it not abundantly clear how big the mountain of evidence is.

And I used to think Garland was just being thorough. I don't anymore. I think he just lacks the balls to pull the trigger.

I agree with you OCU, but as JPW stated, how much more evidence does he need?

What's he waiting on? Republicans to step forward and admit they're guilty?

#7 The indictments for obstruction of justice by Trump during the Mueller investigation were handed to Garland on a silver platter. There is no more evidence to develop for those crimes. Considering Trump's proven ability to drag out every legal proceeding to its maximum possible length, indicting him first for those crimes while continuing to investigate the remainder would have been a prudent course of action.

But that assumes a willingness to indict in the first place, which i think is ludicrous to assume at this point.

You're under the mistaken impression that the goal is to arrest -------. That is most certainly NOT the goal.

I've said it for years. There is both no way and no how that ------- will be indicted for anything, ever.

If the Justice Department indicts Trump, it will set a 225+ year precedent. Garland may need a 'mountain of evidence' to pull it off. Remember, if the DOJ indicts and they don't have an airtight case, Trump could prevail in court. That would almost assure him being returned to power, either via an election or by some other more dangerous route.

As Emerson said, "If you strike at the King, you must kill him."

I realize that Trump is neither a King nor even the current president, but his followers don't understand and accept that, and so, if he's not taken out cleanly and decisively, they will never accept it and there could be blood in the street. Even if he is found guilty and the judgement stands, there may still be blood in the streets, but at least we would have the Constitution on our side and with that we should also have the support of a majority of the nation. If not, then America ceases to exist as a viable democracy.

785 days since ------- attempted a coup to overthrow the duly elected president and no arrest.

because there is no interest in an arrest.

The powers that be are just buying their time until they can say case/investigation is closed.

Institutionalists say this is the process.

2 years and 2 months have gone by, so no it is not a process issue.

It is a lack of will issue.

There is no will to indict a former president.

You think trying and failing is the dangerous course?

Not doing anything is far more dangerous in the long run cause there will always be ------- wannabes and sooner or later one will be successful.

We had an opportunity.

We blew it.

#12 Surely there is some point at which you would agree that a prosecutor must ---- or get off the pot. I'm surprised *two years* to investigate a hamfisted coup attempt isn't the mark for you, but i'm curious to know what your number is and what it could possibly be based on.

No one on this thread could walk a mile in Garland's shoes.

It's easy to criticize when you don't have to face any consequences for being wrong.

I suggest that we let the DOJ do the job that only the DOJ knows how to do.

Jus' sayin'

LOL, now that is some real leadership you are touting there Twin, just sayin'

If he couldn't do what is right he shouldn't have taken the job.

If he fears "consequences for being wrong" he shouldn't have taken the job.

DoJ is doing there job-NOT prosecuting a former president.

If Nixon was held accountable, Reagan wouldn't have done Iran-Contra.

If Reagan was held accountable Bush the lesser wouldn't have invaded Iraq.

If Bush the Lesser was held accountable ------- wouldn't have tried a coup.

If ------- was held accountable, our democracy would have been saved.

I've said it before, I'll say it again, the danger of NOT indicting ------- far outweighs indicting and failing to convict -------.

#17 | Posted by truthhurts at 2023-03-02 10:09 PM | Reply

Garland has more to contend with than a simple indictment. That would be the easy part.

No offense, TRUTHY, but your advice would land Trump square in the lap of the U.S. Supreme Court and a guaranteed free pass to continue carrying the GOP's water to a one-party rule forever.

Not to mention double jeopardy if the DOJ fails.

LOL

It is adorable you think it is a matter of "evidence" keeping ------- out of prison.

Let me explain it to you. No evidence in the world would be sufficient. He could shoot a baby in the back on broadway on the 5 o'clock news and it wouldn't be enough.

EVERYTHING is an excuse.

----, Garland was HANDED an obstruction charge-no deal.

SDNY DA said NOPE on the very charges -------'s company was found guilty on all charges-nope nothing can be done.

GA-somehow some grand jury person has blown up that indictment-don't know how, but lol

-------, ON NATIONAL TV, called for an attack on the Capitol=you saw it, I saw it, he did it. He knew he lost, he lost all his court challenges, he knowingly lied to fire up armed insurrectionists and pointed them at the Capitol-and there you have criminal intent.

nope not good enough.

Just as an aside, I am beyond livid that nothing is done about 1/6. It is disgraceful that no one is held responsible for an attempt to overthrow our government. It is nauseating.

I said it on Jan. 6 and on jan 20th. Biden should have arrested ------- and the top republican operatives and shipped them to Gitmo and dared the republicans to say boo.

Drum head trial and move on.

NOPE

No guts

And don't forget ------- is the unindicted co-conspirator in the stormy daniels case. Cohen went to prison for it. Again, Garland is HANDED a slam dunk case-nope not good enough.

TRUTHY

There's no doubt that Trump could be indicted, tried, convicted and sentenced. That's not the problem.

I'm just suggesting that you think ahead to the Republican stacked U.S. Supreme Court and the severe consequences of double jeopardy.

#21 | Posted by Twinpac at 2023-03-02 10:55 PM | Reply

You're right Twin.... Nothing can be done.

See, we agree.

:O)

If only there is a little bit more evidence.

#22 | Posted by truthhurts at 2023-03-02 11:28 PM | Reply

We know Trump will appeal every conviction all the way to the Supreme Court so in this case, there is no such thing as too much evidence.

We also know that the Roberts' Court has been politicized for just this very purpose. We know that they'll search heaven and earth for some reason, however obscure, to overturn a lower courts conviction of Donald Trump.

I don't blame the Attorney General for taking all the time he needs to bulletproof his cases, not just for indictments and convictions but for the ultimate challenge before the U.S. Supreme Court.

Because that's where it's going to end up.

They are afraid to arrest the ex POTUS traitor that he is because as soon as the right wing takes over the presidency and both houses of congress they will drag Obama, Clinton, Biden and probably poor old Jimmy Carter out of his hospice to hold mock trials where they already know the outcome. If they take that orange pig down, like he deserves, it opens themselves(dems) to witch hunts. They will go after Obama for several reasons, Clinton because he got a BJ and lied about it, Biden because of his son's laptop and Jimmy C just because they really hate the guy for some reason.

They are going to do that anyway, the democratic politicians need to get over their scared bunny syndrome and have some "man marbles" for once and prosecute MAGA for their crimes.
