In reply to the discussion: Merrick Garland is Getting a Bum Rap (posting because we don't have enough controversy here ;)) [View all]gab13by13
(28,008 posts)25. I want to be sure that anything I posted about Garland was factual
OK, you don't have to answer, I'm OK with that.
Question; How long should law enforcement wait to investigate and announce details of a perp when some little child has been kidnapped?

I can tell you how long Garland waited to have the FBI investigate Question #2.
