(63,172 posts)At this point, what odds would you give that Garland's investigation results in Trump's conviction?
After Fitzmas and the Mueller Report and two ultimately useless impeachment proceedings, it is entirely reasonable to express frustration about the pace of the current investigation, especially when Trump is running free and doing more or less whatever the fuck he wants while the Wheels of Justice grind slowly, if at all.
From the context of the OP, it seems clear that "skeptical Garland will do anything" refers specifically to "doing anything that results in a Trump conviction." No kidding Garland has done "things" already. One would sure AF hope so, by this stage of the game. But those "things" are comparatively minor next to the damage that Trump has done and continues to do.
At the very least, Trump should be treated as you or I would be treated if boxes of classified materials were found in our possession. Do you think that you or I would be free to travel the country and whip our Nazi kkkult into a frenzy while working deliberately to poison any potential jury pool? Or do you think we'd be jailed without bond pending trial?
