Steve Bannon [View all] Boydog Nov 2021 OP

Every day he walks free the Democrats lose core voters. The Wizard Nov 2021 #1

This message was self-deleted by its author Boydog Nov 2021 #2

We need to demand that Garland move Boydog Nov 2021 #3

Bannon is doing way worse than that, gab13by13 Nov 2021 #4

And Garland does nothing. I hate to say this but I am leaning toward wanting Garland's removal Boydog Nov 2021 #7

Contact the White House. I did. Joinfortmill Nov 2021 #5

I guess they don't believe it. Corgigal Nov 2021 #24

What does Garland need to be accountable for? Beastly Boy Nov 2021 #6

I think considering what we have been through Boydog Nov 2021 #8

The degree of his agressiveness is entirely at his discretion. Beastly Boy Nov 2021 #9

And yet there are a lot of legal experts who are also wondering why it's taking Garland so long Poiuyt Nov 2021 #10

Actually there are very few legal experts who are wondering about Garland. Beastly Boy Nov 2021 #12

There may be a lot of rules, but there's also a lot of room for discretion Silent3 Nov 2021 #11

As far as Garland is concerned, there is virtually no discretion. Beastly Boy Nov 2021 #13

Actually OLC memos are binding *unless overturned by the Attorney General or President* Silent3 Nov 2021 #17

Do you propose that Garland overturn all of them? Some of them? One of them? Beastly Boy Nov 2021 #19

Whichever ones are in the way Silent3 Nov 2021 #20

Garland is part of the executive branch Beastly Boy Nov 2021 #23

I'm talking specifically about the imperial presidency Silent3 Nov 2021 #25

Garland was appointed by Biden. Beastly Boy Nov 2021 #26

The "imperial presidency" isn't about any specific President Silent3 Nov 2021 #27

If your objection is this general, what does it have to do with Garland at all? Beastly Boy Nov 2021 #28

It's Garland's choice if he's kowtows to bad precedents... Silent3 Nov 2021 #29

Now you are running in circles. Beastly Boy Nov 2021 #30

What circles, other than you simply gainsaying what I said? Silent3 Nov 2021 #31

You are either misunderstanding or disregarding the content of my post. Beastly Boy Nov 2021 #34

I simply don't concur that all DoJ and OLC policy is and always has been to protect democracy Silent3 Nov 2021 #35

And now Mark Meadows refuses to comply with a subpoena Silent3 Nov 2021 #33

Oh yeah, Meadows would have folded if only Garland stopped his investigation midstream! Beastly Boy Nov 2021 #36

Stopped what investigation? Silent3 Nov 2021 #38

This investigation: Beastly Boy Nov 2021 #39

I'm glad something finally happened Silent3 Nov 2021 #40

And, of course you have no evidence for what you are are suggesting. Beastly Boy Nov 2021 #41

As if you presented evidence... Silent3 Nov 2021 #42

For sure. If this was a Barr DOJ with a republican congress, Bannon would already be in jail. triron Nov 2021 #15

So what the hell is Garland doing? Boydog Nov 2021 #21

Wanking off to Judge Judy fan fiction, for all I know Silent3 Nov 2021 #22

Every day of silence and inaction by Garland Boydog Nov 2021 #14

Garland is a version of Neville Chamberlain. triron Nov 2021 #16

I will accept this as your opinion. Beastly Boy Nov 2021 #18

The J6 committee should subpoena Garland, Dave says Nov 2021 #32
