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?

I have always believed that Garland knew what he was doing. Those fools screaming for immediate trials had no idea of the details that would be required to bring a case against Trump that would succeed in a court of law.
