Summary

Merrick Garland’s failure to swiftly prosecute Trump for inciting the January 6th insurrection allowed Trump to run for president again in 2024.

Garland’s slow-walking of the investigation undermined the seriousness of Trump’s actions and normalized him as a Republican front-runner.

Garland’s inaction contributed to the current state of the republic, where Trump is poised to return to the White House.

    Nah Gaetz will be worse, don’t test it. Garland simply allowed the USA to choose to harm itself, which the whole of the USA have done of their own accord.

      Gaetz will be worse.

      Garland had a job to do and he stood and wrung his hands instead of pursuing justice.

      if Garland had done his job, we would not be in this position. He gets credit for both.
