US Senator Ruben Gallego (D-AZ):

"I think he was a coward, and if I could ever take down his photo from the US Attorney's office, I would gladly do it," the former USMC combat veteran said of Merrick Garland. "He was willing to sacrifice our democracy for the institution of the DOJ. There is no DOJ without democracy."

What US Senator Ruben Gallego elided from his scathing criticism of Merrick Garland was how from 21 Jan 2021 to 19 Jan 2025 he inexplicably did not release the absolutely damaging FBI files on notorious sex monster/Israeli Mossad asset Jeffrey Epstein which would have exposed Dummkopf Trumpf.

Instead, Special Counsel Jack Smith and the federal judiciary system performed a grand kabuki theatre for four years which resulted in nothing.

Had USAG Merrick Garland released the Epstein files in February or March 2021, Trumpf would have spent four years in federal and state courts fighting off charges and litigation regarding his pedophilia, severely hampering his presidential campaign. Imagine all of the witnesses and victims coming forth in courtrooms and congressional hearings from mid-2021 to 5 Nov 2024.

Now the 2021-2025 Joe Biden/Kamala Harris administration will go down in history as an American "Weimar Republic" that ushered this pedophilic oligarchal warmonger into the White House. Lastly, the "American Weimar Republic's" unqualified support for Israel's genocidal campaign against the Palestinians-- against the vocal wishes of America's multi-million strong antiwar movement-- spelled the end for the Democrats on Tuesday 5 Nov 2024 when 6,265,888 of their former supporters stayed home rather than vote for Dummkopf Trumpf or Jill Stein.

"Coward?"

I'm not yet convinced of that.

"Took too long"

Yeah, I'm not opposed to that opinion.

He was a coward.

History will remember him as a significant contributor to the current mess we find ourselves in.

@#3 ... He was a coward. ...

Was he?

Or might he have been looking more to the future?

I wish I knew.

One thing I do note, however...

Fmr AG Garland's reluctance to bring charges against Pres Trump for Pres Trump's actions may have been done to show that fmr Pres Biden did not view the DoJ at the time as his (fmr Pres Biden's) personal lawyer force, as Pres Trump seems to view AG Bondi's DoJ.

So, maybe, fmr AG Garland was not a coward, but a courageous precedent-setter?
