"A plague on both their houses" talk is simple minded bothsider bullshit. See my 3rd post in the thread (#42)

If folks want to be among those who flog Merrick Garland over Trump and then defend such floggings,
-- while not seeing over time the hundreds of billions in business and black market corruption that the Garland DOJ clawed back through its civil/criminal, and domestic/international prosecutions, or
-- while not seeing that the due process delays the Jack Smith team endured from the appellate and especially SCOTUS judiciary, or
-- while refusing to see that 90% of the FL documents case is exactly what Garland himself handed over to Smith upon his appointment 3 days after Trump announced he'd run again for prez,
then I stand by my criticisms of anti-Garland DU'ers.

History will see Garland in a much fairer perspective than his detractors here.

Once folks do see what the current weaponized DOJ does to ignore the kleptocracy of the WH, and when it sees the unjust peace we suffer under Trump …
If they still refuse to long for the factual scope and magnitude of justice the Garland DOJ gave this country, -- especially given the factual hindsight provided by many who know how much Garland actually did -- they will continue to be wrong.
