In reply to the discussion: Merrick Garland . . . . [View all]Polybius
(21,902 posts)20. Serious question:
Let's say he didn't slow walk it, and Trump went to jail Summer of 2023. Do you think the outcome would have been different?

And how would they fare against DeSantis or Hailey?

His dereliction of duty is unforgivable. If it were any other republican that won, I'd be able to stomach it

He's buds with a lot of Fuckstick's lawyers. He deliberately botched the case.
