Defending Garland is making excuses, and is just one more reason why I no longer financially contribute to the Democratic party, or to its status quo candidates. The Congressional investigation handed them their case, and that was the expectation. Otherwise, it was six months of wasting time.
But gee, I wouldn't want to disturb your continued defense of the incompetent boob Garland. He will go down in history as the man who let Trump get back into the White House. And you can't change that, no matter how many fictional accounts of what he actually did come to the surface. He admitted he dragged his feet, because he was scared of looking political. That's the bottom line.
Where was all of this excuse making when he was dragging his feet, doing nothing, while Democrats across the country were thinking they finally got Trump? How does someone get away with more than 90 crimes for which they've been indicted? Incompetent prosecution. Merrick Garland. This was a huge Democratic goof and a big Biden mistake. That's the way it is and we can either accept it and move on and not make the same mistake again, or we can come up with massive convoluted excuses to fob the blame off somewhere else and watch our democracy burn to the ground.
