Biddle botched the prosecution of Nazi collaborators in congress during WWII (see Rachel Maddow’s book Prequel/podcast Ultra).

Garland isn’t even worse than Eric Holder.

Careful with that hyperbole.

You know, I'm beginning to understand why Ken Starr resorted to leaking dicey information on Clinton. Baitball Blogger Nov 13 #17

Poor wittle Mewwick everyone is so mean to him. BannonsLiver Nov 13 #19

I do not think Garland GAF what anyone says about him. Fiendish Thingy Nov 13 #20

Seems more like propaganda from his devotees. BannonsLiver Nov 13 #21

If you can't discern verifiable facts from propaganda... Fiendish Thingy Nov 13 #22

I haven't been on the bash Garland train, but I am pissed that an entire YEAR was wasted just to appoint Jack Smith themaguffin Nov 13 #27

Smith was appointed 48 hours after Trump declared his candidacy Fiendish Thingy Nov 13 #30

Trump running or not, should not have been a factor in this moving forward. themaguffin Nov 13 #48

The investigation was moving forward Fiendish Thingy Nov 13 #50

Ok... themaguffin Nov 13 #60

Kind of wonder why this entire OP isn't considered flame bait Orrex Nov 13 #32

Is it ridicule to stand for verifiable reality? Fiendish Thingy Nov 13 #35

Petulantly inviting people to "flame away" kind of erases your imagined credibility Orrex Nov 13 #38

The truth is the truth Fiendish Thingy Nov 13 #42

Thankfully, you aren't the arbiter of truth, and that's the punchline Orrex Nov 13 #46

Indeed, I'm not the arbiter of the truth, only the messenger Fiendish Thingy Nov 13 #61

I'm sure that you believe yourself to be the messenger, rather than the catapult. Orrex Nov 13 #66

The article (from the Daily Mail rag) is about Biden's frustration over Hunter's prosecution Fiendish Thingy Nov 13 #68

All SC's including Smith, were appointed in an appropriate, timely manner Fiendish Thingy Nov 13 #65

You bet, thanks for reminding me gab13by13 Nov 13 #71

We agree that the prosecution was bogus. Fiendish Thingy Nov 13 #73

I'm sick of Marcy Wheeler's condescending bullshit thebigidea Nov 13 #69

And yet, her assertions regarding the scapegoating of Garland remain unrefuted. Nt Fiendish Thingy Nov 13 #72

Hah. Garland failed spectacularly and you just don't want to admit it. brush Nov 14 #87

Again- Swift and total conviction of all charges would not have stopped a second Trump term Fiendish Thingy Nov 14 #88

Yeah sure. The nation would've voted for a jailed criminal. brush Nov 14 #89

Did you miss the election of the first convicted felon last week? Nt Fiendish Thingy Nov 14 #90

Did you miss he hasn't been jailed. And how silly to think other rethugs... brush Nov 14 #92

Worse than Bill Barr, Jeff Sessions, or Alberto Gonzales or Francis Biddle? Fiendish Thingy Nov 14 #93

Depends on your perspective. The AG who failed to prosecuter a president who tried to ovethrow.... brush Nov 14 #95
