Mar-a-Lago mess: How Merrick Garland can regain the public's trust
2022-08-22
[The Hill] In a three-minute presser following the FBI raid on Donald Trump
...The tack in the backside of the Democratic Party...
’s Mar-a-Lago home, Attorney General Merrick Garland cut a defiant figure, condemning critics of the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the FBI: "I will not stand by silently when their integrity is unfairly attacked." He then left the stage without taking questions or answering that criticism.

It was a signature moment for Garland, who often responds to controversies with belated, rote remarks. His brief comments had all of the substance of a Hallmark card that read, "Trust us, we’re the government." Yet trust has to be earned, not simply demanded.

#15  The problem is that would require that he still has a little bit of honor.

That is why he wouldn't get a second to cut off his head before the pain became unbearable.

#13  A President is the ultimate authority on document classification, so if Trump declassified all he was taking with him while he was still President then possession of classified documents could not be an issue, right? But what if Biden ‘reclassified’ them? If it was a law that changed it would not be valid, but it’s essentially an EO so. …?

The writer gives him too much credit.

Garland and Wray need to come clean on everything. Who's pulling their strings?
