Mehdi HasanDon't know whether to laugh or cry: Garland insisted today on how *independent* and *impartial* his pick for Special Counsel, Jack Smith, will be.
THE RIGHT DOES NOT CARE!
They are not good-faith actors!
Apppeasing them does not work!
Alex Thornton (she/her) 🇺🇸🇺🇦💙@mehdihasan It has less to do with appeasing the right. You are totally correct that they aren’t good faith actors. More that Garland is conscious that with high ranking government officials there is always the office and the individual. The proper set up of an investigation, even for Donald Trump, is important b/c we are on the side of the rule of law.
