MSNBC guest Elie Mystal scorches Garland over probes - The Beat - MSNBC



Attorney General Garland confounds some legal experts with another special counsel, this one to investigate classified documents found at President Biden’s home and old office. Critics of Garland say appointing a Trump-picked U.S. attorney is all about “optics”.

Justice Correspondent for The Nation Elie Mystal joins “The Beat with Ari Melber” saying “Garland should appoint a special prosecutor to be the Attorney General of the United States… because Garland can’t do the job.” Mystal adding “Tell me the public official that Merrick Garland can investigate that won’t claim that they should get a special prosecutor, too?” - Aired on 01/13/2023.

The fact more documents continue to come out only shows how important it was for a SC be appointed. Everything Garland is doing is what I want from an AG. Some here clearly believe nothing should be done to investigate Biden. I am not one of them.

And we should embrace any level of transparency to investigate exactly why Biden had these documents - which keep popping up.
