If you're going to conduct an investigation and write a report, make it transparent.

There was a lot of incompetence, confusion and other serious failures, but this isn't a criminal investigation. No doubt there will be litigation, and whatever crimes any of the officers might have committed will be state crimes. If those things happen names of officers will be released; but if this isn't a federal criminal investigation there's no reason to release names in connection with it. Some of the officers will be found culpable at least of gross negligence but some might not be at all.

Would have joined the rightwing club of the USSC.

Garland is GOP; there are Democrats that could have been put in the job and done better.

The excuses are bullshit.

Garland has been politically compromised from Day 1.
