...It's nothing but dragging on the people who prosecuted Trump.

Perversely, you're pushing this here at the SAME TIME Trump is ragging on the people who prosecuted him and his co-conspirators who rioted. The same people you pretend weren't prosecuting him. Over 25 prosecutors and as many investigators at DOJ.

People who are being defended against ad-hoc attacks by the Trump administration by advocates on this very Democratic message board.

I think this screed against Garland is not only false, but helps do nothing as we advocate against Trump and republicans but feather this phony projection.

It manifests as nothing but a distraction from what we're doing right now, a diversion. It's a wonder you believe this represents some kind of advocacy against Trump, bashing the people who prosecuted him.
