I'm angry. He should have acted with much more urgency, IMO. Sky Jewels Aug 2023 #1

bahahaha--this time table is perfect Recycle_Guru Aug 2023 #2

It does, but he didn't start on the process right away. Sky Jewels Aug 2023 #3

He certainly did! Beastly Boy Aug 2023 #14

Mahalo for these FACTS about AG Garland, Cha Aug 2023 #19

I am just tired of spoon feeding the facts over and over again, despite them being freely available Beastly Boy Aug 2023 #24

No worries.. I cheered up when Cha Aug 2023 #25

Fact: He did not go after Trump Sky Jewels Aug 2023 #56

that is typically how these cases work Recycle_Guru Aug 2023 #66

Mahalo, RG! Cha Aug 2023 #74

Time was of the essence. He could have pursued the big guys and the little guys Sky Jewels Aug 2023 #75

I disagree that he needed to go after Trump right away Recycle_Guru Aug 2023 #76

"Highly partisan"?! Sky Jewels Aug 2023 #78

no--just that I won't look to him for reasoned approach to this legal issue Recycle_Guru Aug 2023 #79

Considering what you know vs what The AG Garland knows Recycle_Guru Aug 2023 #64

You speak with such authority and certainty wnylib Aug 2023 #90

He was going after the small potatoes. Sky Jewels Aug 2023 #54

I think timing is important but not in the way you are believing Recycle_Guru Aug 2023 #65

+1000 Duppers Aug 2023 #41

You're right.. "Perfect Timing"!! Cha Aug 2023 #7

It will not be 'perfect timing' if the trial gets spun out past the election and Trump wins Celerity Aug 2023 #15

i was watching that too orleans Aug 2023 #39

here is the video Celerity Aug 2023 #94

Thank you, Jack Smith Silent3 Aug 2023 #12

it is thoughts like this that made me post what I did Recycle_Guru Aug 2023 #13

He eventually gets around to getting results... Silent3 Aug 2023 #16

This is ridiculous. Beastly Boy Aug 2023 #22

Where's your evidence? Silent3 Aug 2023 #30

My evidence for what? That you have no evidence? Beastly Boy Aug 2023 #42

800 indictments not-of-Trump is not evidence of any sort... Silent3 Aug 2023 #44

800 indictments of not Trump is certainly evidence, unless you are stubbornly determined Beastly Boy Aug 2023 #45

The indictments filed today were not all all built on the street-rabble indictments n/t Silent3 Aug 2023 #46

Who said they were? Beastly Boy Aug 2023 #47

My complaint about Garland and the DoJ is that they weren't working hard enough... Silent3 Aug 2023 #48

So you have complaints, not facts. That's rich. Beastly Boy Aug 2023 #49

It is not truth of anything regarding work done to go after the big fish Silent3 Aug 2023 #50

Ok, let me quote you. Beastly Boy Aug 2023 #51

Geez, even right there in what you quoted back from me... Silent3 Aug 2023 #52

So, in your awkwardly constructed sentence, you DO, ever so evasively, give DOJ credit Beastly Boy Aug 2023 #53

I'm not here to praise the DoJ for simply doing their job, but if it makes you feel better... Silent3 Aug 2023 #58

You really seem upset that people are happy Trump was indicted AZSkiffyGeek Aug 2023 #60

I'm happy Trump has been indicted Silent3 Aug 2023 #69

Interesting you skipped right past the whole "trial" part of our toothless justice system AZSkiffyGeek Aug 2023 #71

What makes me feel better is Garlands exemplary and undeniable accomplishments as AG Beastly Boy Aug 2023 #68

You have no facts to back your position either. Silent3 Aug 2023 #70

Oh please! I gave you a shitload of facts, complete with links! Beastly Boy Aug 2023 #72

Hmmm... Beastly Boy Aug 2023 #92

Exactly. He went after the low-hanging fruit, Sky Jewels Aug 2023 #55

Thank you, Silent3 Sky Jewels Aug 2023 #57

actually, quite the opposite Recycle_Guru Aug 2023 #67

This is a thank you Garland thread. Not a meh Garland thread. Beastly Boy Aug 2023 #17

I'll comment as I like, where I like n/t Silent3 Aug 2023 #18

And I will demonstrate how poor your choices are, wherever and whenever you choose to comment. Beastly Boy Aug 2023 #23

In a thank you Garland thread it certainly is. Beastly Boy Aug 2023 #43

thank you for keeping this Garland appreciation thread kicked Recycle_Guru Aug 2023 #31

If having this sycophantic thread kicked thrills you so much... Silent3 Aug 2023 #32

this is the appropriate type of content on Democratic site Recycle_Guru Aug 2023 #34

For something you don't care about it you're certainly posting a lot AZSkiffyGeek Aug 2023 #59

I didn't say I don't care about the SUBJECT of the thread Silent3 Aug 2023 #62

Ok, real good, then. MineralMan Aug 2023 #61

Me either. Always felt Joe & Merrick had a meeting of the minds Joinfortmill Aug 2023 #20

Don't you know that Mitch McConnell is kicking himself right now... lees1975 Aug 2023 #27

lets put it this way Recycle_Guru Aug 2023 #33

That's it, right there. MorbidButterflyTat Aug 2023 #86

I thank AG Garland, too. MorbidButterflyTat Aug 2023 #88
