It must be said about Merrick Garland [View all]

A lot of here were all “Garland isn’t doing anything about Trump. President Biden needs to get rid of him and get someone in there who will.”

Then…out of the blue…AG Garland drops a 500-pound anvil on Trump’s overpainted head.

Garland is running the tightest-lipped Justice Department in recent history. Garland is no joke; he’s the prosecutor who put The Unabomber in ADX Florence and who put a needle in Timothy McVeigh’s arm. He is exactly who we needed right now.
