88. It seems to me

that the attempted coup on January 6th was an existential threat to democracy the likes of which the US has only experienced twice, once with the Civil War, and once with the Businessmen's Plot. I think that the Businessmen's Plot was successfully dealt with quietly because the perpetrators realized that there was not enough public support for them to have any chance of success. I don't think that the January 6th coup attempt should have been dealt with like Iran Contra, Watergate, the Warren Commission and the subsequent House Select Committee on Assassinations; or for our Republican "friends", Bill's blow job. I think that what was required to bring the darkness to light, to drain the swamp, was an unprecedented effort more akin to FDR's New Deal or JFK's trip to the moon. We needed an extraordinary, once in a generation effort if we are to put the authoritarian genie back in the bottle. Garland seems to me like a surgeon attempting to cut away cancer which has already metastasized with a plastic picnic knife, in a patient who refuses to stay on the operating table, and whose family has already filled the waiting room with every sort of sleazy attorney and corrupt counselor.
