There’s been much criticism of Merrick Garland for taking as he did to get where we finally are. But I see things a bit differently, based on how his Justice Department laid the groundwork for these new and novel charges against Trump. Read my analysis here:

Was Merrick Garland’s Approach Correct All Along?

I’m going to say something that might make me a bit unpopular. From where I sit, Attorney General Merrick Garland has taken a logical and reasonable legal path all along. How can I say this, though, given that January 6, 2021 is now more than two and a half years behind us, and ex-president Trump was only just this month charged with federal crimes such as obstruction of Congress and conspiracy?

@jaykuo just because Jack Smith managed to find a way to make it work and certain other situations happened to have favorable outcomes in the meantime doesn’t make it ok that Garland dragged his ass. Justice delayed is justice denied.

@brooklynman @jaykuo Smith is irrelevant here. This is article is about MG getting law settled via rioters cases so when they got to Trump and Co, getting convictions overturned on appeal will now be a lot harder.

@brooklynman @jaykuo there was no ass dragging. Prosecuting the small fry first and getting them to flip is the traditional way to take down a cartel, and Trump and co. are a cartel.
