a reminder: Merrick Garland's investigation of Timothy McVeigh, Terry Nichols and the Unabomber

[BumRushDaShow]

78. Here we go again

THIS is what the OP says -

a reminder: Merrick Garland's investigation of Timothy McVeigh, Terry Nichols and the Unabomber
had zero leaks before indictments, 100% convictions, and no turnovers on appeal.

And then you pull this out of thin air -

I was not the one who claimed Garland was the lead investigator of the Unabomber case.

You have now pivoted with complete nonsense. The posts were addressing Garland's "investigations" and how these were handled. You then went on and on with incorrect information about what happened with McVeigh and then when that was pointed out, you quickly dropped that.

I then added an article that you failed to read, so I'll include a smaller amount for you to read -

Unabomber Case Helped Hone Garland’s Legal Skills

The killer known as the Unabomber was methodical, patient and meticulous. So was the U.S. Justice Department official who directed the investigation that took him down. Former colleagues of U.S. Supreme Court nominee Merrick Garland cite his legal skills in the courtroom and in overseeing the mid-1990s Unabomber and Oklahoma City bombing investigations as evidence that pragmatism and common sense, not an elaborate constitutional philosophy, would guide his decisions as an associate justice.

NEWSFLASH: When you are at the GS-1000 level as he was in the Criminal Division of DOJ from 1993 - 1997, you are a supervisor directing the work of multiple teams of investigators whose work ultimately leads to the building of a case. This includes individuals working across different agencies, in this case to include the FBI, ATF, and the U.S. Postal Service (since Kaczynski was mailing bombs).

The crime spree that went on for almost 20 years despite pleas and evidence given the DOJ by the Unabomber's brother. You seem to double down and have no problem with that statement. You want Garland to claim to be the investigator on that case? That is what the OP says.

You are now going into a bunch of psychobabble about DOJ and Kaczynski, when Kaczynski started his crime spree when Jimmy Carter was President and the AG was Ben Civiletti, and continued through 3 Presidents and 7 Attorney Generals.

The final investigations, arrest, and indictment happened under the purview of Garland while he was in multiple SES leadership roles that included directing the investigations of multiple major cases during that time that have been posted about in this thread.

It's obvious that when one is losing an argument, one attempts to obfuscate with unrelated minutia, throwing things at a wall to see if anything sticks.

Your continued lack of knowledge of the federal government's employment structure is not surprising and is laid bare in this thread.
