Milquetoast Garland refused to investigation the overthrow of the US government by Trump on January 6th, yet Trump is opening a criminal investigation of Biden's use of the autopen.
Ken Star threw Susan MacDougal in jail for refusing to honor a subpoena during the fishing expedition Clinton investigation, yet Karl Rove, Jim Jordan and many others ignored Congressional subpoenas.
This country is broken beyond repair. 🤬🤯

No progressive would pass that confirmation process.

(21,985 posts)And what was Jack Smith drawing a paycheck for as Special counsel?
You clearly dont have the facts straight.
Ken Starr didnt throw Susan MacDougal in jail, the judge who signed the subpeona did, for contempt of court
Im not aware of Karl Rove ignoring a judicial subpeona.
Jim Jordan and others ignored congressional subpeonas, which arent signed by judges, and have no enforcement mechanism for contempt of congress, outside of inherent contempt, which hasnt been used for 90 something years.
So, it appears your this, of which you dont know how much more you can take, is poorly/inaccurately defined- a clearer understanding of the facts might provide some relief.

(21,985 posts)Rove never ignored a judicial subpeona, only a congressional one.
There are consequences for ignoring a judicial subpoena, enforced by the court.

(7,081 posts)Garland did Nothing for two costly years
And only appoint Jack Smith because the January 6th Commission forced him to.
Also, I don't appreciate your condescending tone!
Fiendish Thingy
(21,985 posts)You are upset because you believe Garland did nothing for two years, when that belief is provably false, refuted by a massive body of publicly available evidence.
If you informed yourself with these readily available facts, perhaps your distress would be relieved.
