In reply to the discussion: Anyone calling for the replacement of Garland are playing into the hands of Trump's defenders [View all]wnylib
(25,915 posts)This is just the kind of reaction that I anticipated from the Garland bashers once the indictments started. No longer able to claim that indictments would never come, the naysayers switch to how it was done, when, and by whom.
In two years DOJ under Garland has more than a thousand insurrectionists facing charges, their leaders have been convicted, and Trump has been indicted in one case with more to come. This after a couple months before Garland was confirmed and then had to reshape DOJ that Trump corrupted with his appointments.
If Biden fired Garland now for not investigating Trump earlier, it would cause a firestorm of complaints about partisanship and cost us a LOT of down ticket elections, possibly the White House. It would entangle Biden in MAGA propaganda wars that Biden is wisely avoiding.
It makes me wonder why people are pushing this issue.
