Mitch was one of 20 Republicans to vote to confirm Garland as AG. I think he knew who he was getting.

Evidence is not needed, this is an "Opinion Site", not a court of law.

No because the article doesn't say much of anything. It's the DM and Bob Woodward. Smearing Biden.

Although H Biden's prosecution was BS, don't think it sounds good if Biden actually said that.

The only regrets reported in the article were those over Garland's prosecution of Hunter

He could have fired Garland, as long as the special prosecutor for Hunter remained in place. Nt

One would have to be fairly naive to believe that Biden's problems with Garland were limited to Hunter's case.

Obama knew any SCOTUS nominee would be DOA. Picking the opposite of a young radical partisan exposed Mitch's bad faith.

Frankly, no. This does NOT change my overall opinion of either Garland or the DOJ's work in general.

Me, too. Garland might have been a good SCOTUS justice, but he sucked at DOJ.

I made one point. That the reaction and quotes attributed to Biden don't seem like Biden at all.

America and the world is sad that Garland (protect tsf at all costs until he can't anymore) was selected.

Garland is the reason why Trump as of yet has not been tried and convicted for Jan 6.

Trump would be convicted in a federal prison now if there had been a different attorney general in that office.
