(4,217 posts)Ruling families, polluters, corporations that bleed us dry and/or sell our intimate secrets to advertisers, billionaires. They're ALL beyond the reach of the law. In fact, the laws ENABLE them. The little folks are the only ones not above the law.

(18,680 posts)Sessions, Barr, Gonzalez, Mitchell (ferchrissakes!) and of course, Francis Beverly Biddle, FDRs AG who dismissed sedition charges against two dozen Nazi collaborators, including sitting members of congress, in the middle of World War Two. (That story is told in the first season of Rachel Maddows podcast Ultra, as well as her book, Prequel).
You think Garland is worse than all of them?
He isnt even the worst AG of a Democratic president in this century

(18,680 posts)I think Smith was aiming for it to be completed by the end of the month.

I expect that Smith will write it, that it will be comprehensive.
But, no way Garland allows it to be seen by anyone but those who wrote it and him.
He'll bury it, to avoid appearing "political".
Of course, he's been political all the way along, smoothing the road for the right wing.

(18,680 posts)And no, Meullers report doesnt count, as it was submitted to Barr, not Garland.
Redactions for national security reasons, or ongoing prosecutions (charges against Trumps minions in the docs case are still pending) would be expected, but otherwise, I expect we will see some form of the report before January 20.

(17,288 posts)the man, because mine is all gone, along with any residual faith I had in the laws of this country.
They seem only to apply to people who aren't wealthy or wealthy people who fuck over others of their class.
