Merrick Garland would take the 5th... Escape Feb 25 #10

Merrick Garland has never and would never take the 5th. SunSeeker Feb 25 #12

Thank you. Well said Raven123 Feb 25 #26

Epstein-related files could not be legally released during Garland's term because Maxwell's case was still under appeal bigtree Feb 25 #11

Here comes the Garland Society. BannonsLiver Feb 25 #14

There is certainly grounds for criticizing Garland for his slow prosecution of Trump, but not for this. SunSeeker Feb 25 #22

I've heard all those excuses and rationalizations before. BannonsLiver Feb 25 #24

Those are not "rationalizations" about the handling of the Epstein files, they're facts. SunSeeker Feb 25 #39

When Bondi threw Garland's name at Ted Lieu he didn't disagree with her premise that Garland was delinquent on Epstein BeyondGeography Feb 25 #41

Ted Lieu was not implying Garland should have disclosed the Epstein files. SunSeeker Feb 25 #44

Exactly. Thank you bigtree. He didn't want to comment because it could endanger the conviction, which was on appeal. SunSeeker Feb 25 #16

this expectation of some is a degeneration of norms bigtree Feb 25 #23

I may have a different interpretation of 'still interviewing witnesses' than you bigtree Feb 25 #25

There's some management tools called priorities, assignment of resources, KPN Feb 25 #28

none of which have been shown by anyone to have been neglected or mismanaged bigtree Feb 25 #31

You have your opinion. I have mine. This was a big deal as KPN Feb 25 #38

I literally said none was shown bigtree Feb 25 #42

You can't show something that is missing -- like higher priority, greater emphasis, etc. I don't isolate everything to KPN Feb 25 #45

we're only talking about points and processes of law. What does 'proof' have to do with all that, you say? bigtree Feb 25 #48

Instead of escalating and projecting -- as in "obfuscating", KPN Feb 25 #54

the projection here is against Garland bigtree Thursday #55

Mmmhmmm. KPN Thursday #56

UH OH, Escape Feb 25 #15

I like to call it the Garland Society. BannonsLiver Feb 25 #18
