Dereliction of duty: How Merrick Garland failed America

Merrick Garland's failure to protect us from the anti-American madman who attacked our country, and now wants to finish us off, has been a catastrophic dereliction of duty unmatched in American history. I am not here to needlessly pile on or distract us from our important work of making good and damn sure Kamala Harris is elected next month, but I do think it is vital we understand that our attorney general’s — the most powerful law enforcement officer in the world — refusal and/or inability to do his job upon his appointment in 2021, has put this country in tremendous danger. Smith’s filing includes details of the horrific events surrounding one of the darkest days in American history, January 6, 2021, and Donald Trump’s intent to steal the election. We have learned among other things, that when Trump was informed of the threats to Mike Pence’s life from his violent mob, his reaction was simply and literally, “So what.” As I typed in February, instead of moving with alacrity after his appointment to AG in March of 2021, and leveling the full weight of the law against the disgusting, orange traitor, Garland made the decision to avoid the whole thing like Trump avoids vegetables. Trump running for office to avoid prosecution might have been the most predictable thing ever, but Garland either didn’t see it coming, or was pathetically blind to its hyper-predictable chances.
