Can Everyone Who Was Losing It Over AG Garland Take a Breath Now?

I even saw some ridiculous nonsense this week - some of it fomented by Thom Hartmann - that the DOJ was not acting because Garland had cut a deal with Republicans to be the nominee to replace Breyer should he step down.

The DOJ was gathering facts and making its case to a grand jury - a process done in secret. This isn't a Republican DOJ, which doesn't enforce any laws and can thus say "no" to everything quickly. Actual law enforcement takes a bit of time.

1. I suggest now be a time to celebrate...

And focus on battles still to come. Not a time to focus on those who may have had concerns and worries.

Just my two cents.

2. Oh, I'm Celebrating WILDLY

And I take your point, but I can do two things at once. And the hysteria over the DOJ's patient, deliberate pace was incredible, so it's worthy of note.

3. Mark Meadows is next.....

Steve Bannon was just indicted by a Federal Grand Jury.

4. no doubt about it, posts on DU forced garland to act... nt

5. Ah, yes. The existent reality of the butterfly's wings

The human being is remarkably poor at judging probable future outcomes, whether as actor expecting results (insurrectionists) or
observers, whose desires are not totally irrelevant to outcomes.
300-million hand-written letters to one Senator could change history.

8. I have been off DU for a while but...

I have heard criticism of Garland from several different quarters, not just DU. I think it was a good thing. I recall when so many were cautioning others not to criticize Mueller because he knew what he was doing and they did not have the right to criticize him. Remember that?

6. Could AG Garland tell us why the Mueller Report has not yet been released (fully unredacted),...

..... since 1/20/2021 was when Biden took office ?

We the public paid for that report,... any good reason we the public can not review and digest it in full ? Bi!ly Barr adamantly decreed it should not be released to the public. Garland could overrule Barr. Why has that not been done ?

7. Not That Worried About It

That report is much less important than the insurrection investigation.
