Seems to me like Garland made a wrong decision on this one. Bluepinky Jun 2021 #70
Not just this one; it's an ominous pattern reminisent of Chamberlain's concessions to Hitler. triron Jun 2021 #93
Stop with the FUD. DiamondShark Jun 2021 #112
that's what i'm thinking--in the name of bi-partisanship he's over fucking correcting. ugh! orleans Jun 2021 #74
Reminds me of Chamberlain's concessions to Hitler. triron Jun 2021 #98

My thought of what may be going on..... TheRealNorth Jun 2021 #44
You are dead on StarfishSaver Jun 2021 #49
Based on what IS visible though, they're cleaning nothing. You can put to one side anything that OnDoutside Jun 2021 #79
Unless you have an in with the Presidential Personnel Office, Office of Personnel Management, StarfishSaver Jun 2021 #81
I said "Based on what is visible" and by that metric it's pretty shit. OnDoutside Jun 2021 #85
It's not a matter of me being "content" StarfishSaver Jun 2021 #86
It actually is, and on the visible evidence of this thread, you appear overly defensive on the OnDoutside Jun 2021 #101
Almost seems like you are bending over backward trying to whitewash what is quite visible. Sorry. triron Jun 2021 #94
Not at all. I'm bending over backward trying to explain a complicated area of the law to people who StarfishSaver Jun 2021 #95
And you do?? Lol! USALiberal Jun 2021 #87
No, I don't nor do I claim otherwise StarfishSaver Jun 2021 #88
Perhaps the DOJ could improve their messaging then? nt PufPuf23 Jun 2021 #102
Perhaps StarfishSaver Jun 2021 #103
How does she know what's really going on inside the department? Ocelot II Jun 2021 #5
She doesn't leftieNanner Jun 2021 #13
Thanks elleng Jun 2021 #20
They've publicly announced they're going to fight the E Jean Carroll case, are you ignoring that ? OnDoutside Jun 2021 #80

+1. Used to love MSNBC and Maddow, but switched to something else. Hoyt Jun 2021 #16
I don't know sheshe, but whether they are doing something behind the scenes or not, by the JohnSJ Jun 2021 #21
Ranting for ratings...great line. Love her or hate her, ya know this is going on PortTack Jun 2021 #77
She did the same thing during Obama's first two years ChrisF1961 Jun 2021 #82
I'm with her - every public action and lack of action since Garland took the helm RainCaster Jun 2021 #9
SheShe2 has a good point, Garland is supposed to get all that done in less than 3 months? We're not uponit7771 Jun 2021 #11
True, however H2O Man Jun 2021 #14
That made me laugh out loud. Hoyt Jun 2021 #18

StarfishSaver is a DU Treasure! H2O Man Jun 2021 #35
Thanks, friend StarfishSaver Jun 2021 #38
Great quote, but it was from Jim Palmer, not me StarfishSaver Jun 2021 #37

Rachel Maddow is neither immature nor uninformed on political issues. Dark n Stormy Knight Jun 2021 #99
? H2O Man Jun 2021 #114
She has the right to her opinion... brooklynite Jun 2021 #17
Yes there was opinion, but there was also observations of actions, or lack of actions being done by JohnSJ Jun 2021 #26
Her assumption that all actions must be observed and if she can't see them nothing's happening StarfishSaver Jun 2021 #33
True, but the argument can also be made if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck it is JohnSJ Jun 2021 #39
Gotta keep the ol' powder dry, people! Hugh_Lebowski Jun 2021 #25
Yes, we DO know the drill StarfishSaver Jun 2021 #29
I'm not a legal expert as you seem to be but it is evident to me that Garland... jcgoldie Jun 2021 #36
It may not be a popular political call, but it is a sound legal one StarfishSaver Jun 2021 #40
sure except that the argument is in defense of Donald Trump defaming a person he raped. jcgoldie Jun 2021 #42
The argument is NOT in defense of Trump defaming anyone StarfishSaver Jun 2021 #47
Was Donald Trump acting in his role as President when he defamed the woman he raped? jcgoldie Jun 2021 #50
It's very different StarfishSaver Jun 2021 #51
Of course he wasn't acting in an official capacity jcgoldie Jun 2021 #54
Because they need the court to rule on it StarfishSaver Jun 2021 #56
The purpose may be to get a court ruling.... TheRealNorth Jun 2021 #48
Actually it isn't. It's an argument that the president was acting Ocelot II Jun 2021 #55
thanks for the explanation... and based on that the question I have remains jcgoldie Jun 2021 #60
They didn't "take up the case" StarfishSaver Jun 2021 #84
Garland has been awful so far budkin Jun 2021 #28
The argument is that he isn't defending trump, but the executive branch to say what he wants without JohnSJ Jun 2021 #34
My god, he has been there for less than 100 days bottomofthehill Jun 2021 #72
It almost seems like Garland has been threatened by Trump or Repubs to not stir the pot. Bluepinky Jun 2021 #73
It's not right, and it's not ok budkin Jun 2021 #75
You are stating that Garland is being blackmailed? sheshe2 Jun 2021 #107
Thanks for pointing this out. triron Jun 2021 #110
Nothing in his background gave me high hopes. One of the few disappointments Biden chose. LizBeth Jun 2021 #92
Turns out GaRland is a HUGE deception (if he doesn't start doing his job soon). Justice matters. Jun 2021 #52
Who are you giving this instruction to? StarfishSaver Jun 2021 #57

You think if he hasn't "cleaned up the house of the dRumpf left overs" in 90 days StarfishSaver Jun 2021 #66
Yes. Find another "Doctor" who is able to do the job completely. Justice matters. Jun 2021 #68
What's with the random dollar signs and capital Rs? StarfishSaver Jun 2021 #69
