Merrick Garland Let Down His President And The Country

Glenn Kirschner On The Stephanie Miller Show 20241115.

Glenn Kirschner: Merrick Garland was a good man. I believe he is good man. But, it turned out he was the wrong man for the moment. I've been saying this for over a year. He did not aggressively go after the folks who tried to end American democracy. This is where we have landed because of it.

Video: Oct 18, 2024. Bob Woodward and Stephen Colbert discuss his book War.

Transcript Excerpt Bob Woodward: ...it one of the things that I report in the book is that Biden regretted that he put merrick garland in as attorney general and said to his aides, "I made a mistake. I should not have done that". ... the concern Biden has is personal. That the attorney general appointed a special counsel to investigate hunter biden. His son. The issue of Hunter Biden is just ripping Joe Biden's heart out. And it is something he talks about with close friends. He worries about, where is this going to go? He has said he would not pardon him. There are couple trials coming up. Quite frankly I know enough about Biden. I don't believe that. I think he will pardon his son.

I certainly hope so. Hunter Biden should definitely get a pardon. As for this regret, I think Biden also regrets appointing him because he didn't move quickly enough to hold tRump accountable for his many crimes. If not he certainly should have this second regret in regards to appointing Garland.

We can't know how things would have shook out if Garland had moved faster, though we certainly would have been further along in the process of holding the fat Orange Turd accountable. The result would have probably still been that the Turd strategy of delay would end up being successful.

So, maybe Joe Biden only regrets appointing Garland due to him keeping in place the tRump appointed prosecutor, which he definitely should not have done. It was a futile attempt to appear independent. But it didn't work. trumpers still claimed that Biden was directing Garland to prosecute d0n0ld. So he shoudn't have bothered. He should have appointed someone else or dropped the charges alltogether.


Daily Beast: The New Abnormal podcast co-hosts Danielle Moodie and Andy Levy are angry about the current political mess that Americans find themselves in—but not at who you might think.

"I don't even blame Donald Trump because you can't blame a fvcking criminal for criming", Moodie said. "But I sure as fvck can blame Merrick Garland, a supposed Democrat that was supposed to do a really important job and failed".

"We're in this place at a 50/50 fvcking coin toss-up of an election because of Merrick Garland", Moodie added. "Because if he had entered into office doing his job from day one, Donald Trump wouldn't have had the opportunity to announce that he was running for office again, because he would have been buried under indictments".
