WSJ is owned by Rupert Murdoch, so it makes sense. emulatorloo Sep 2023 #67

I think Garland worries too much about politics. walkingman Sep 2023 #4

Oh no MorbidButterflyTat Sep 2023 #56

?? What ?? I think Garland worries too much about politics walkingman Sep 2023 #111

You have a curious conception of what constitutes the rule of law. Beastly Boy Sep 2023 #115

I think his delays were politically motivated. Too cautious. walkingman Sep 2023 #122

Wall Street Journal? MarineCombatEngineer Sep 2023 #5

However you feel about Garland, I'm sure Biden is a little pissed at him Polybius Sep 2023 #14

Sure family comes first, that's a given MarineCombatEngineer Sep 2023 #18

I think we are pretty much in agreement then Polybius Sep 2023 #21

Well, I'm pretty sure the president discusses all the cabinet officers with high level aides to get Midwestern Democrat Sep 2023 #49

The President, in execution of his duties has 326,000,000 in his family to look after. Chainfire Sep 2023 #106

Garlands lack of indictments speaks for itself.... getagrip_already Sep 2023 #6

Give or take 1100 indictments in the largest DOJ investigation in its history, right? Beastly Boy Sep 2023 #42

Those involve the direct crimes against congress... getagrip_already Sep 2023 #88

Your logic is absolutely incomprehensible. Beastly Boy Sep 2023 #112

+1000! ShazzieB Sep 2023 #124

Garland is the ultimate desk where ALL indictment bucks stop. 99.9% sustained, NOT overturned. ancianita Sep 2023 #82

But according to some here, MarineCombatEngineer Sep 2023 #87

Too many here. ancianita Sep 2023 #116

Wow, what a realistic scenario that would be. Sky Jewels Sep 2023 #27

You're here practically every day bashing AG Garland, MarineCombatEngineer Sep 2023 #29

Classic appeal to accomplishment genetic fallacy that I have seen being used here repeatedly Celerity Sep 2023 #102

Wow!!!! MarineCombatEngineer Sep 2023 #104

There was nothing opaque or labyrinthine in my reply. You were employing a logical fallacy Celerity Sep 2023 #107

Again, please put in laymen's terms, MarineCombatEngineer Sep 2023 #108

Instead of rebutting the poster's argument, you tried to block them from debate via an invalid Celerity Sep 2023 #113
