Some how, some way Garland has to go after McConnell.

He deserves the revenge and we deserve the justice.
McConnell is so obviously corrupt and most likely compromised by the Russians that some digging should turn up something.

I want McConnell to rue the day he stopped Garland from getting a seat on the SC.

(Yes, I know this is fantasy and Garland is too honorable to do it. But I can dream, can't I?)

More recently, reports emerged that McConnell’s wife, Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, had set up a pipeline in her department to funnel grants to Kentucky to lift her husband’s political prospects. And as Trump’s trade war with China escalated, uncomfortable old stories began to recirculate about how McConnell “evolved” after he met his future wife in the early Nineties, going from being a fierce China hawk to a potent ally on Capitol Hill. Chao’s father, James — a Chinese American shipping magnate and close friend of former People’s Republic dictator Jiang Zemin — gave McConnell and his wife a huge gift in 2008 that boosted the senator’s net worth from less than $8 million to nearly $20 million. While “Beijing Mitch” doesn’t have quite the same ring as his new moniker, McConnell’s change of heart on Russia was hardly without precedent. (McConnell declined to comment for this story.)

Mitch greased the skids for that project, but don’t know if any laws were broken.

Aside from that, going after McConnell for revenge would make Garland’s DOJ just like Barr’s, wouldn’t it?

No provable case, no "lock him up."

The Republicans are not just corrupt as hell, but infectious.
