@brewster you are an optimist by keeping #democracy on that list! 😂 with that said, I do hope you are right and in some ways, #garland still cares about protecting our democracy. I stopped holding my breath though.
@boavista @brewster #garland isn’t concerned about #democracy. Jack Smith is too partisan to run an independent investigation.
