At first he agreed with Bill Barr that an official duty of the president is to defame people. He was prepared to defend Trump (the 0ffice) until the courts disagreed about that, and stated it was not an official duty.

Mueller did not indict Trump because he was a sitting president, but he set Garland up to prosecute Trump after he left office.
Individual one - Garland passed Alvin Bragg took it.
Obstruction of justice - Garland passed.
Bill Barr heavily redacted anything negative about Trump in the Mueller report - Garland has failed to release the unredacted report, but he did release the Hur report that claimed that President Biden was old and feeble and forgetful.

I guarantee that when Jack Smith releases his report Garland will not release it unredacted.

Garland got criminal referrals from the J6 committee for Ken Chesebro and Mark Meadows, he shit canned them.
Garland got a criminal referral from Dana Nessel, she waited 1 year for Garland to act and then she prosecuted her fake electors herself.

The SOS from Colorado went on TV and cried for help from DOJ over the threats being made to election officials. She stated that since 2021 DOJ has prosecuted 10 cases.

Garland gave Trump forever to return the classified documents he stole, when the FBI found those boxes of documents at Mar-el- Loco an arrest warrant should have been issued for Trump. Many people died because trump abused those classified documents.

These are for starters.

Maybe Trump will keep Garland on, 20 Magat Senators voted to confirm him.

I haven't been on the bash Garland train, but I am pissed that an entire YEAR was wasted just to appoint Jack Smith themaguffin Nov 13 #27

Smith was appointed 48 hours after Trump declared his candidacy Fiendish Thingy Nov 13 #30

Trump running or not, should not have been a factor in this moving forward. themaguffin Nov 13 #48

Kind of wonder why this entire OP isn't considered flame bait Orrex Nov 13 #32

Is it ridicule to stand for verifiable reality? Fiendish Thingy Nov 13 #35

Petulantly inviting people to "flame away" kind of erases your imagined credibility Orrex Nov 13 #38

The truth is the truth Fiendish Thingy Nov 13 #42

Thankfully, you aren't the arbiter of truth, and that's the punchline Orrex Nov 13 #46

Indeed, I'm not the arbiter of the truth, only the messenger Fiendish Thingy Nov 13 #61

I'm sure that you believe yourself to be the messenger, rather than the catapult. Orrex Nov 13 #66
