The "Garland must go" crowd must be extatic today

[Beastly Boy]

Garland granted their wish!

So I can expect a pause in Garland bashing now, can't I? Surely Garland is going to be praised for keeping DOJ beyond reproach over any accusations of partisanship, or for assuring that the two specific investigation into Trump's crimes he delegated to the special council will go on despite any conceivable changes to Congress or DOJ or the fate of any other ongoing investigations into Trump, or that it will remain funded for the foreseeable future, or for appointing a consummate professional to take over the investigation, and not be bashed for his determination to uphold the law despite a multitude of questionable expectations to the contrary from overly enthusiastic spectators, right?

I am not being too pollyannaish here, am I?

3. Let's just say, I see it your way.

[Beastly Boy]

7. Thank you for respecting the DU terms of use.

[Sneederbunk]

4. Garland bailed.

[LakeArenal]

5. I so agree. So many backseat quarterbacks. (Yes mixed metaphor)

please give names on photos.

6. Why not call this dude Special Master not council, part II?

[Beastly Boy]

10. To appoint Special Master would require Trump's approval.

Imagine the caliber of special master vs special council that is appointed by Garland himself.

8. Garland bashers gonna bash..it's what they do

I'm a big fan of instant gratification is not quick enough but "getting" Trump gives me pause...I've cleared my bucket list..I want to see one thing and one thing only before I die (I'm 74)...Trump indicted...so I'll continue to eat green leafy stuff that's good for me, limit my caffeine intake, skip the Cheetos and do my damndest to stay alive until at least a week after that orange fucker is charged with multiple federal crimes..amen

9. I see this as side stepping . A little junk food. to the right , if that who this maneuver is for,

The doj will be a tool of the left if it does anything to trump . It wont matter who stood there and played referee they will just say Smith is a tool of the "deep state"
Although having a vehicle of continuance is gtk

[Beastly Boy]

11. As we can see, the accusations will fly anyway. And they will fly from all direction.

Shit hitting the fan in reverse.

[Fullduplexxx]

12. This country is full of proof that nothing happens to the people at the top

Only the Lynndie Englands get imprisoned and until garland does something to change that there's no reason to think otherwise.... fitzmass ... Mueller.

[BlackSkimmer]

14. Sadly, I have to agree with you.

Nothing to see here.

[Beastly Boy]

15. This country is also full of proof that shit happens to people at the top.

From Aaron Burr to Andrew Cuomo.

Depends on how you look at it. It's just that there are fewer people at the top than at the bottom.

[Fullduplexxx]

17. Fewer at the top should make finding out who did what easier

I hope garland proves me wrong

[Beastly Boy]

20. Oh, I disagree.

Those at the top have enormous resources to obscure who did what. That's why they are at the top.

Makes the finding out a lot more difficult.

[oxymoron]

13. OFFS. Apparently we can't have a discussion on DU these days.

Since when did we start demonizing discussion here?

[BlackSkimmer]

16. Oh, I saw a thread the other day where a poster actually said "end of discussion" as though they

were some great arbiter of discussion here.

[Beastly Boy]

18. Technically, I am not demonizing.

I am being sarcastic where sarcasm is way overdue. A long-held tradition here on DU. Proves that we can, indeed, have a discussion here, As in: Response #13 to my OP is part of our discussion.

21. everything about this is weird
