69. Lol, is Laurence Tribe a 'TV Lawyer'?

what about ex Sen. Claire McCaskill, both of whom have been very critical of Merrick Garland.

Tribe was on MSNBC the other night and he (his words, not mine) said he think the DOJ has 'rolled over and played dead' when it comes to prosecuting Trump who should be indicted for sedition. Tribe said there is more than enough evidence to do so.

Face it - Garland is another Mueller - in that he values institutions more than justice or 'appearing political'.

We have Trump running around admitting he wanted to overturn the election, fake elector schemes, pressuring the VP, etc.

If this is not sedition (and treason) then what is?
