In case anyone wants to contact Merrick Garland about his lack of indictments here it is [View all] Maraya1969 Jan 2023 OP

But, but, but, he's working so hard. onecaliberal Jan 2023 #1

Garland doesn't GAF what you or I think Fiendish Thingy Jan 2023 #2

He apparently only cares what Maga think, or may think. CivicGrief Jan 2023 #4

No a shred of evidence to support that statement Fiendish Thingy Jan 2023 #6

Appearing political means offending republicans. CivicGrief Jan 2023 #7

I looked between the lines, and saw nothing but blank space Fiendish Thingy Jan 2023 #8

Sounds more like sticking your head in the sand and wishful thinking. CivicGrief Jan 2023 #11

3 years to finish Watergate investigation. Read some history books. emulatorloo Jan 2023 #42

That was an impeachment. Emile Jan 2023 #49

No, there were multiple prosecutions arising from Watergate. Ocelot II Jan 2023 #60

and Nixon was never charged. . . Emile Jan 2023 #66

He was pardoned before that could happen. And if he had been charged Ocelot II Jan 2023 #67

Justice denied. . . Emile Jan 2023 #69

Take it up with Gerry Ford. A lot of people were outraged when he did it Ocelot II Jan 2023 #71

I'm old enough to remember. Emile Jan 2023 #73

Me, too. ancianita Jan 2023 #184

So what are we waiting for ? Captain Zero Jan 2023 #82

We need to make sure there isn't another GOP president during his lifetime. Ocelot II Jan 2023 #84

Sure looks that way! History has a way of repeating itself. Emile Jan 2023 #110

It looks like Biden is going to pardon Trump? AZSkiffyGeek Jan 2023 #116

Get real, if Biden is reelected I sure as hell don't see him pardoning Trump. Emile Jan 2023 #120

You said history was repeating itself AZSkiffyGeek Jan 2023 #123

At the speed Garland is going it could be 2028 before we see justice on 45. Emile Jan 2023 #147

Goalposts... MOVED! AZSkiffyGeek Jan 2023 #148

Reality doesn't equate to "cheerleading" brooklynite Jan 2023 #20

Methodically trying to find the best path to not indict trump. CivicGrief Jan 2023 #28

Great opinion. Now where are the facts to back it up? emulatorloo Jan 2023 #35

That's amusing, even for a mere opinion Beastly Boy Jan 2023 #38

Over-confidence. See this DU thread: emulatorloo Jan 2023 #43

Oh my... Beastly Boy Jan 2023 #48

Don't you dare compare me to conspiracy theorists CivicGrief Jan 2023 #59

Dare I compare you to completely rational critical thinkers who express their doubts in pretty Beastly Boy Jan 2023 #68

Dunno Civic, you have strong theories but no facts to back them up. emulatorloo Jan 2023 #72

Exactly! Well Done, emularorloo.. Cha Jan 2023 #87

You said that they are actively trying to find a reason NOT to indict AZSkiffyGeek Jan 2023 #112

i think he's quite rightly at least concerned about what the madmen w guns think. mopinko Jan 2023 #26

But he obviously GAF Wuddles440 Jan 2023 #14

Exactly. There would have been no SC for trump had he acted like he was supposed to act. CivicGrief Jan 2023 #18

I am confused. Are you saying Garland would have been on the Supreme Court if he acted like he was Beastly Boy Jan 2023 #44

SC means special counsel in this case I think Blues Heron Jan 2023 #45

Truly, ambiguity through abbreviation is a friend! Beastly Boy Jan 2023 #62

Well, if you read the post I replied to, it should have been clear. CivicGrief Jan 2023 #65

It was indeed too much trouble, and I accept your apology. Beastly Boy Jan 2023 #81

Your math is off Fiendish Thingy Jan 2023 #33

Thank you! This Garland bashing is getting out of hand....... secondwind Jan 2023 #39

Right?? ancianita Jan 2023 #183

We know nothing, as it should be. Joinfortmill Jan 2023 #3

Why do you think public pressure should influence the actions of an Attorney General? Ocelot II Jan 2023 #5

What do you think is stopping him from acting? I think it is pressure from somewhere Maraya1969 Jan 2023 #12

Why do you think he's not acting? Ocelot II Jan 2023 #16

Well, what exactly is the timeline for a crime that happened on live TV? CivicGrief Jan 2023 #27

It's nearly 1000 crimes. Beastly Boy Jan 2023 #46

The underlying crime isn't what happened on live TV. The worst crimes (and they are many) Ocelot II Jan 2023 #50

Specifically inthewind21 Jan 2023 #74

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!! secondwind Jan 2023 #41

Or how'bout checking this first? Beastly Boy Jan 2023 #9

It won't mean a thing without indictments at the top. CivicGrief Jan 2023 #13

Convictions on seditious conspiracy charges are low hanging fruit? Beastly Boy Jan 2023 #30

where would we be without the obligatory, weekly "fuck garland" post? CatWoman Jan 2023 #32

It would be a lot more interesting forum. More discussion, a lot less fact-free hyperbolic "rage". emulatorloo Jan 2023 #40

lol Happy? Cha Jan 2023 #93

Where are the indictments? iemanja Jan 2023 #101

Thanks Emile Jan 2023 #23

He's scared indicting trump would look partisan to Republicans. Kablooie Jan 2023 #24

That's it in a nutshell. CivicGrief Jan 2023 #29

Scared? Beastly Boy Jan 2023 #34

Essentially not upsetting to Republicans is a higher priority Kablooie Jan 2023 #47

Well inthewind21 Jan 2023 #76

DOJ facts are hidden away at the DOJ. Kablooie Jan 2023 #79

The fact that Garland's job demands being non-partisan is not hidden. Beastly Boy Jan 2023 #96

Indicting Trump for crimes committed is not partisan. Kablooie Jan 2023 #162

You nailed it. At first. Beastly Boy Jan 2023 #170

There must be some reason for you to claim that Beastly Boy Jan 2023 #94

Sure looks that way! I would Emile Jan 2023 #52

No it doesn't. Beastly Boy Jan 2023 #98

Until Garland proves us wrong I will continue to be a skeptic. Emile Jan 2023 #99

Garland proved you wrong time and again, and that didn't dampen your skepticism one bit. Beastly Boy Jan 2023 #103

What evidence? iemanja Jan 2023 #106

Seriously... I posted this at least a dozen of times: Beastly Boy Jan 2023 #111

I wouldn't bother trying to explain anymore AZSkiffyGeek Jan 2023 #118

Non-sequitur iemanja Jan 2023 #132

The only premise you advanced that relates to my post is in your header. Beastly Boy Jan 2023 #140

Yes, NY and GA may even act iemanja Jan 2023 #145

You realize that you are still not addressing the only point that I made in my post. Beastly Boy Jan 2023 #153

I don't consider them accomplishments iemanja Jan 2023 #167

His record of indictments and convictions does. Beastly Boy Jan 2023 #173

Non-sequitur, again iemanja Jan 2023 #175

Did you look up the definition of non-sequitur yet? Beastly Boy Jan 2023 #178

You didn't provide evidence of an indictment iemanja Jan 2023 #172

Not only did I provide evidence of nearly 1000 indictments, Beastly Boy Jan 2023 #176

OF TRUMP and the upper-level coup plotters iemanja Jan 2023 #177

I am absolutely ignoring your points, except one. I am not interested in exchanging opinions. Beastly Boy Jan 2023 #179

Meanwhile the people in congress who were a part of the insurrection are happy as pigs in shit. Autumn Jan 2023 #157

Report that we saw 45 on live TV orchestrating the insurrection. Emile Jan 2023 #25

The "orchestration" started long before that. It's the tip of the iceberg Ocelot II Jan 2023 #57

See even you know the truth too. Emile Jan 2023 #58

"Even you"? What does that mean? Ocelot II Jan 2023 #61

Means I agree with you. Emile Jan 2023 #63

Oh well hell inthewind21 Jan 2023 #77

I guess we saw two different things that day. I Emile Jan 2023 #80

He did inthewind21 Jan 2023 #85

So basically our justice system is totally screwed up Emile Jan 2023 #86

I saw inthewind21 Jan 2023 #88

Whataboutism. . Emile Jan 2023 #91

I see inthewind21 Jan 2023 #95

I want justice. Emile Jan 2023 #97

Yet you don't want justice to take its due course. Beastly Boy Jan 2023 #100

Amazing how quickly justice can move depending on who you are. Emile Jan 2023 #108

You are not proposing to fight injustice by equal and opposite injustice, are you? Beastly Boy Jan 2023 #113

Nope not one bit! Arrest and charge the sob Emile Jan 2023 #115

That only ensures he gets away with it Generic Brad Jan 2023 #189

I guess everyone is entitled to an opinion, but Emile Jan 2023 #190

I will, but please post recommendations for how he should conduct the investigation differently. Chakaconcarne Jan 2023 #54

Follow Brazil's lead iemanja Jan 2023 #105

You know the history of people arrested in Brazil? AZSkiffyGeek Jan 2023 #150

Brazil's legal system sucks. Elessar Zappa Jan 2023 #171

Well, I actually prefer that perpetrators be arrested and prosecuted iemanja Jan 2023 #174

Pay attention. Read reputable newspapers. There's multiple active grand juries. emulatorloo Jan 2023 #114

and there is a special prosecutor iemanja Jan 2023 #135

Another very authoritative "opinion" with no factual basis. emulatorloo Jan 2023 #137

This message was self-deleted by its author iemanja Jan 2023 #144

No factual basis iemanja Jan 2023 #146

As I said and no disnfo Meowmee Jan 2023 #156
