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.
Correct the headline. Biden expressed regret. He doesn’t actually feel regret.
He could have sacked him at any time.
We apologise for the fault in the government. Those responsible have been sacked.
I’m sure the optics of that would be good with Hunter in the mix.
And Biden cared about optics, which is why he spent a year shoveling weapons to Netahyahu for genocide.
