13. Any action on Garland's part would be viewed as political

The Gym Jordans and other projectionists of the world would have preferred a "political" step of not appointing a political counsel. Oh, the horrors: No transparency, huge coverup, massive crimes go unpunished, proof of corruption and whatever else gets thrown at the wall hopefully to stick in the minds of voters. Instead they get "political" option 2: A special counsel appointment and investigation results that run the risk of negating the accusations of bribery and influence-peddling that have been put forth. Sometimes catching the car can have "dire" consequences.

I don't think they're implying that. paleotn Aug 2023 #14
