Garland failed us again..... [View all]

Dont even bother to defend him.

Barr's doj violated multiple laws and fbi policicies in wiretapping members of congress and their staffs.

Garland knew, and did nothing to prosecute or even investigate it.

No IG investigation. No new policies. Nobody fired.

That about says it all. F him.
