Watching the live testimony, Garland seems to be frail and senile

When he was being interrogated by Gaetz (I think it was him) about the whether or not the indigenous people "violently" protesting at the capital should be considered the same crime as Jan 6th and should be considered "domestic terrorists" and would he prosecute these liberal protesters the same way. Garland stammered and said he didn't know the facts of the case and wouldn't comment on it. He reiterated that they would face the same justice if guilty of domestic terrorism.

Hell NO! That was truly the WRONG response. He should have stood up and said that INTENT is the key to whether they should be charged as terrorists. By definition, terrorism is an act of using violence to affect political coercion. Not the same thing as a demonstration against a policy.

He should have said the word INSURRECTION and shut that asshole up.

I think all of these people should be held in contempt and spend some time thinking about this in jail.
