I saw it too. Speaking words publicly and being able to prove mastermind and direct involvement are two very different things. It was no secret Al Capone ordered and committed murder. Funny thing, they never got him for that. Did they? Why, because they couldn't prove it.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
