Some Tidbits On Merrick Garland [View all]
1. Garland agreed with Bill Barr that defaming someone was an official duty of the president. A district court disagreed. E. Jean Carroll had to delay her original lawsuit awaiting an Appeals court decision. After a year Garland withdrew his defense of Trump (the office) and now Carroll's suit can proceed.
2. Peter Strzok and Lisa Page are suing DOJ for invasion of privacy and violating their 5th Amendment rights. They filed a request to depose Donald Trump, Merrick Garland objected but another federal judge overruled Garland and Trump will be deposed.
3. The John Durham investigation. One of Durham's prosecutors, Nora Dannehy, who is well respected, up and quit the investigation for ethical reasons. A report was written up explaining her reasons. Merrick Garland is sitting on that report and there is talk of someone filing a FOIA to force Garland to make the report public.
Garland's special counsels
4. Appointment of David Weiss after 5 years of investigation of Hunter Biden. Why the need to make him a special counsel when he had all the power to investigate and indict as he pleased?
5. Appointment of Robert Hur as special counsel to investigate classified documents found at Joe Biden's properties. Mr. Hur has deposed 100 witnesses and has gone back to when President Biden was Senator Biden in his investigation. When will this shoe drop? Will it be a Comey moment.
Merrick Garland truly is showing Magats that he is not partisan against them. Job well done.
