Cannon, not Garland. You don't get to push Garland to violate the law because you won't suffer consequences

They are not in her court, but she has ruled. Until a judge is over-ruled, their rulings hold sway

It's not a defence, it is a more balanced perspective. Even Biden was disappointed in Garland

Naturally. As a rational adult, that's what I expected. No surprises there.

reports dispute that. That financial investigation took place shortly after the arrests of rioters

The problem with that is he didn't appoint the special counsel until a year later than he should have.
