AG Garland rushes to put air in Special Counsel Jack Smith's tires
[Breitbart] Attorney General Merrick Garland defended Special Counsel Jack Smith’s "integrity" days after Smith secured a grand jury indictment against former President Donald Trump.
That's like having Hillary Clinton vouch for your ethics...
Trump made his first federal court appearance on Tuesday after being indicted by federal prosecutors on 37 charges stemming from Smith’s investigation into Trump’s handling of White House records.

Garland spoke to reporters on Wednesday and defended Smith, who is facing a barrage of attacks.

"When did you find out that the special counsel was headed down this track, and why did you choose not to stop him, as was in your power?" a reporter asked Garland.

"I can’t talk about particulars about this or any other ongoing criminal matter," the attorney general said, adding that "Any questions about this matter will have to be answered by their filings in court."

He then highlighted Smith’s "commitment to integrity and the rule of law."

"As I said when I appointed Mr. Smith, I did so because it underscores the Justice Department’s commitment to both independence and accountability," Garland told reporters. "Mr. Smith is a veteran career prosecutor. He has assembled a group of experienced and talented prosecutors and agents who share his commitment to integrity and the rule of law."

#1 I don't know that obstruction and support from Garland is a good thing.

#3 Department of Redundancy Department. Soon we will see more strong endorsements from other corrupt DS actors. The recipe will likely begin with an Eric Holder base. Mix in a paste of never-Trumper opinion and finish with a spicing of Bill Barr excretion. Enjoy your Merrick Garland sandwich.
