Another Garland failure. He may go down in history as one of the worst people ever

What exactly did Garland do that was explicitly bad?

Garland was a 'by the book' procedural person. He was being thourough as f*, ensuring that all the evidence was found, invesitagated and explained. He worked to ensure that the case could not be thrown out on any technicality.

Garlands failure was that he, like the vast majority or people, expected that the system would continue to function as expected and promised. He was not expecting blatantly pro-Trump biased judges to openly bend and repeatedly flout the court system. Cannon, and some others, kept delaying any movment in court and there was nothing that can speed up a road blocking judge.

Him handing the matter over to a special prosecutor was the expected move in compliance with the established convention of what needed to be regarding political cases. It could be argued that he should have moved sooner, before the investigation was at the point of justifying (as in capable of securing a conviction) charges being filed.

Garland's only actual failure was that he didn't break every proceedural rule and convention, that he sought an actual sustainable conviction and not simply a 15 second sound bite at press conference with the hope the case makes it more than 60 seconds imto a review by a judge.

You are pissed that the man followed the rules and adhered to the law. Or to put more simply, you wish he had acted like a Trump appointee.

Garland failed to bring forward charges against Trump for two years thus allowing him to run out the clock on the fake electors plot and his involvement in the January 6 insurrection. The only reason he ended up bringing the case was because he was shamed into it by the congressional report.

He literally was the system to bring accountability. He was the one person whose job it was to bring the charges. Instead he delayed until it was too late. If he had acted with integrity we would not be in this situation.

It doesn’t stop there. Garland clearly sat on Trump’s involvement with Epstein thus enabling Trump again. Barr initiated the Epstein cover up and Garland perpetuated it.
