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 I won't give Garland any credit at all until the chief insurrectionist is convicted, in prison, and banned from the election per the 14th Amendment, Section 3. Trump has weaseled out of consequences his whole damn life, caution demands that I don't assume he'll be stopped now.
