In reply to the discussion: Merrick Garland Plays Pontius Pilate [View all]Wuddles440
(2,132 posts)11. And speaking of President Biden...
and the classified documents that were found at properties associated with him, why hasn't there been any resolution of this matter by now? To placate the conservative media assault, the MAGAT hacks in Congress, and Traitor Don, Garland somehow decided that this matter demanded an investigation by a special counsel and, so not to appear "partisan", this prosecutor needed to be a Republican. Pence was cleared months ago, why nothing regarding Biden's status? Oh wait, I know the answer to that - we're entering an election year! Also, let's not forget Garland leaving Weiss and Durham in place to pursue the conspiratorial wet dreams of the Cult of the Orange Jizzus.

I think Garland was given the AG job as consolation for not being allowed on the Supreme Court.

That narrative is just silly, Garland accepted the SCOTUS nomination knowing he would never receive a vote

No. You do not have the wrong impression. Your observations are right on target.

"an AG may not, by law, appoint a special counsel if there is no conflict between DOJ and the office of the President."

He's doing his job and following the law and letting special counsels do their job

My guess is there are probably not many, if any left at all. Treason of the highest order and the DOJ can't be bothered.
