It does not take two months to make a decision, one way or another, on a contempt charge. We know Garland is not incompetent from his career. We know Garland follows the law. We know Garland knows the law. Something is going on people. I don't know what it is, but something is going on.

(146,192 posts)I could be wrong, of course, but I doubt it. Do you know or work with Merrick Garland? Have you ever spoken to him? What is your connection that gives you knowledge of his daily activities and thoughts?
Just asking...

Definitely worth a read.

If they cant flip him, they'll fuck him up. He aint flipping, so........
