(43,151 posts)It's not that AG Garland hasn't done a great job in prosecuting corruption and cybercrimes, and it's not that he hadn't tried to hit at the heart of the criminal syndicate that Trump's indicted lawyers and enablers became -- this DOJ indicted a LOT of lawyers and enablers. He and this DOJ did much good in the greater scheme of things.
We'll never know if any other AG could have done any better, really.
It's just that now we have to face that he hurt Biden and our party in his attempt to act without fear or favor.
And don't think the other side doesn't think the same way about Garland -- that they were patriots, though we know they weren't -- which could have motivated their votes beyond the numbers Trump got in 2020.
And it also explains the autocratic urge to restructure the DOJ to be dictator trump's personal law firm.
This time, with the SCOTUS green light for trump to be a criminal president, we will have to depend on Biden and our governors to trump-proof our future as trump gets his vengeance de jour going.
The next four years could be moment-to-moment. If they turn out better, at least we were better prepared for the worst because we now have better 20/20 hindsight. As do our opponents, even as they operate under an oligarchic network of lies in order to turn the country into a union-free labor force.
Thank you for your thoughtful post, ShazzieB.
