Bidens choice of AG may turn out to be a very wise decision.

Garland is quiet, by the book, He follows the law. He is a moderate and he was a judge. By all accounts he is very well respected, even among Republicans. When Garland starts to indict people, he will come under political attack.

It will be much more difficult for Trump and the Republicans to call Garland an extremist, a Democrat out for revenge.

If Biden had picked an aggressive Democrat for AG, it would make it much easier for Trump and the Republicans to call it a political witch hunt.

Just my opinion.

1. No instant gratification from MG the AG

I perceive folks were looking for a quick fix from the AG. He strikes me as methodical, cunning and paying attention to details. I was not looking for any instant gratification from AG. I figured he was lining up all the evidence then come in for an indisputable kill!

Everything has to be perfect. All the i's dotted and t's crossed before you start to reveal what you have so that the culprits don't have time to circle the wagons when you show up with the subpoenas and search warrants. When they get you into court the Feds don't like to lose.

4. I agree with you. As much as I knew DT was a crook, I didn't know how bad he really was/is.

The grabbing the steering wheel/chocking the SSA who was driving was worse than I would have excpected even from DT. I thought personal assault was even beyond what DT would do. I listened to the whole testimony today, and DT is much worse of a human being than I ever realized! Even being an ex prez, Garland shouldn't have a difficult time prosecuting him!

As soon as they are charged they will blame “angry democrats” and liberals regardless of how by the book or moderate the source.

And the MAGAs will slurp it up and repeat it just like they always do.

Facts don't matter, at all, with these sociopaths.
