In reply to the discussion: Anyone calling for the replacement of Garland are playing into the hands of Trump's defenders [View all]ProfessorGAC
(76,635 posts)68. Because He's Not A Real Problem?
DeJoy is a lapdog. When TFG was the boss, he made noise about "dismantling & restructuring".
Now, with new governors & Biden in charge, he's doing exactly as he's told.
Firing him becomes strictly a political act, because there's no path of destruction, he's hemmed in, and playing ball.
Why fire him now, if he's playing by the new rules?

OP
First, Biden can't fire DeJoy. Second, firing Wray would be injecting Biden into the Trump case

Plus 1000%. Garland knows how to prosecute and he has a good staff all around him!

Today's trick question: Name a single AG in US history who has been more effective than Garland.

Sheer nonsense! So if we criticize Garland, we get accused of stating we want Biden to replace him?
