Mueller now Garland... How is tRump doing this?

[Iwasthere]

Beginning to think there's witchcraft involved. What else would explain the fear? Why is Garland fearful?????

1. What are you talking about? Garland is appointing special counsel.

4. It's the process

The time it'll take. Garland could just do it. Why is he fearful?

[HelpImSurrounded]

5. No he can't "just do it"

He's not Nike.

Special counsel IS the appropriate next step. It reduces the possibility of political bias and is always what should happen in a case like this.

The AG still has rules of ethics to follow even if SCOTUS doesn't.

9. There are no "rule of ethics" he is following.

He just does not want to make the decision. He is not required to appoint a special counsel. And the special counsel will seen just as political as Garland would have been.

2. I'm losing patience too.

What the hell else do you need to see???

What the fuck more do you need to hear?

[HelpImSurrounded]

6. Nothing, that's why he is appointing special counsel

It's the appropriate next step.

3. Won't get anything done before new House and Republicans would stop all funding to protect themse

..to protect themselves and Trump.

This way investigation continues. Trump will still get off and if re-elected Trump will do it all again and more, never personally suffering consequences. Sweetheart deals for favors will continue.

7. Seems to me that no matter what Garland does, it will be deemed the wrong thing.

Plenty of DUers have demanded he appoint a special prosecutor because they believed - incorrectly - that he wasn't doing anything. Now that he will be appointing a special prosecutor to get the job done without accusations of a conflict of interest, that's wrong, too. Maybe some of the internet message board "experts" ought to apply for that job to make sure it's done right.

10. The correct thing would be to make a decision one way or the other and be done with it.

Garland has the power but he does not want to do it.

11. Seriously somehow this monster has been able to get away

with unbelievable crimes his entire life. He has to be the luckiest SOB that ever lived.
