In reply to the discussion: Top Oversight Democrat says Merrick Garland should testify on Epstein [View all]bigtree
(93,858 posts)...as I pointed out, the FBI handles myriad sexual assualt and trafficking cases.
You can want them to priotitize something, but the Biden DOJ didn't operate around a partisan or political agenda. I'd expect they applied the law correctly, until shown otherwise.
I get that the impetus behind this posting is to assume they didn't, but I think it's extremely fraught with stuff that likely has nothing to do with what's occurred.
In this case, no one who respects the process of investigation and law should have ANY expectation that Garland needed to, or should have inserted himself into that decison making (which is the actual posit of the op).
And the strawmen you threw up in place of actual proof about someone reflexively defending something or the other does not withstand scrutiny of your own converse reflexiveness to suppose Garland's DOJ did something wrong - all in the face of zero evidence to the contrary.
At some point critics and accusers (especially of our own party's administration) should be made to put up or shut up, but I do understand the appeal and efficacy of projections and assertions made in support of one's opinion that eschew proof.
