Tulsi Gabbard has been confirmed as President Donald Trump’s director of national intelligence, and while she did not receive support from Democrats, the party failed to exercise every option ...
Actually yeah. They need to do everything they can to keep these fascists from enacting their agenda. The right did it to Obama when he tried to get Merrick Garland on the supreme court. The Dems should do the same thing.
Yeah, he selected him to make DOJ appear impartial, except it doesn’t look like anyone cared.
And the reality is, not only did no one care, it actually made the department partial to not prosecuting Trump for his many, many crimes, because according to these moronic, selfish, short-sighted, anti-American Republicans, it’s not a crime when the president does it. Nixon toooootally should have finished his term without resigning, I’m sure no one would have convicted him :))))
They immediately begin what is literally the largest criminal investigation and prosecution in the DOJ’s history, going after Jan 6th insurrectionists.
They continue getting confessions, plea deals, and building a bottom-up investigation that builds corroborating evidence
These under the constraints of:
Federal judges including SCOTUS stacked with Trump-appointed corrupt judges.
Garland going up against an organized crime syndicate with an entire party and propaganda apparatus and effectively unlimited money to put up in defense.
A jury pool almost impossible to be untainted while Defense need only convince 1 idiot on the jury.
By 2022, the Congressional Jan 6th hearings went all the way through summer and into October. If you’re Garland, you observe and gather more evidence because why not? Just keep strengthening the case. You’ll need it.
Garland hands off to Jack Smith literally the day after Trump formally files to run for President again (again, to avoid technicalities on conflict of interest).
As late as 2023, Smith gets massive testimonies from the likes of Trump’s Chief of Staff, Mark Meadows. Valuable enough to grant immunity.
It seems very obvious to me that this was a classic bottom-up case you see similar to RICO cases in white collar or organized crime syndicates. Garland had to ensure his case was extremely tight given the nature of going after a former President and the courts.
Let’s instead blame:
The courts who were ones proven to actually obstruct.
The voters who many saw what happened and still chose to sit out or still vote for the felon.
I’d rather he have done it right and not get a verdict than rush it and Trump gets vindicated by a technicality or a Not Guilty.
I know a lot of people are frustrated, but using Garland or Smith as the scapegoat makes zero sense. Just because it didn’t go as quickly as we as the general public and legal laypersons wished doesn’t mean he delayed. There is no actual evidence he delayed anything. In fact I’ll go so far as to say Garland did everything perfectly and it was pretty much an impossible feat given the cards stacked against him.

Fuck Merrick Garland he was Republican challenge that they thought Obama won’t dare to nominate. When he did they still blocked him.
If he didn’t delay investigation into trump while being AG, perhaps he would be in jail right now.
And then Biden, for some god awful reason, picked him as AG to slow walk any judicial proceedings against the felon Trump.
Biden hired him to slow walk the trump investigations so he could run as second worst again in 2024.
Yeah, he selected him to make DOJ impartial, except it doesn’t look like anyone cared.

Typical brain-dead maneuver from establishment Dems.
Bullshit. He didn’t delay jack shit.
I don’t know why this myth gets perpetuated by people who clearly were not paying attention.
Didn’t he wait until 2023 or at least until mid 2022 before he started anything?
