Summary

President Biden expressed regret over appointing Merrick Garland as Attorney General, criticizing Garland’s slow action in prosecuting Donald Trump for the January 6 insurrection while aggressively pursuing cases against Hunter Biden.

Biden reportedly blamed former Chief of Staff Ron Klain for persuading him to choose Garland over other candidates, such as Doug Jones, who was seen as more politically assertive.

Many Democrats share Biden’s frustration, believing Garland’s cautious approach harmed efforts to hold Trump accountable.

    That’s not even playing ethical. Garland’s stance was effectively that Trump shouldn’t be prosecuted because it might look bad. That’s the opposite of a strict ethical code.

      Garland is a piece of shit who slow-rolled the prosecution of Trump for years for whatever convoluted political plan he had in mind. I’ve been baffled by this since 2020. Trump should have been indicted after Jan 6, not within striking distance of the election.

      Merrick Garland had to have been an agent for the Trump team in some shape or form.
