(431 posts)And don't even think about trying to "recycle" him. He was and still is too toxic to be the U.S. Attorney General. Good thing he never got a real shot at being a U.S. Supreme Court Justice. Can you imagine that FUBAR MOFO in there as a Supreme Court Justice?

(292 posts)...your timeline doesn't work. Biden wasn't President until Jan 20th 2021. Garland wasn't AG until Mar 11th 2021.

(7,606 posts)I always trusted that Joe was getting good advice and had a plan to see justice carried out. If he was totally hands off then that was his choice. Probably has proven to be a mistake.
Somewhere in the middle it just may have been that they knew the USSC would hear whatever appeals were necessary to keep Trump a free man until well after the election. Still, it feels wrong. Maybe we will never really know. But it may have cost us a Democracy.
