It's time for Merrick Garland to Resign. As I explained on MSNBC to Mehdi Hassan, Merrick Garland’s failure to charge Donald Trump over two years after his attempted coup and Jan 6 terrorist attack is sending a message to our fellow Americans that what Trump did was not that serious. It was. In fact, it was akin to TREASON. Trump waged an attack on democracy. He should have been charged by now. https://open.substack.com/pub/deanobeidallah/p/its-time-for-merrick-garland-to-resign?r=17xyj&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

If the Former President Gets Top Billing in a Sedition Trial But You Didn't Bother to Notice ... - emptywheel

Charlie Pierce wants trials the likes of the Nuremberg Trials, which were so powerful because the architects of an authoritarian conspiracy were tied to the events that took place at the crime scene. And DOJ took a key step in doing that week -- a key step in an effort that has been obviously in the works for 18 months, an effort that started on January 4, 2021, when Enrique Tarrio's phone was seized. And yet Charlie Pierce has seen no evidence of that.
