65. Lawyering up, trying to protect themselves

Sun Nov 17, 2024, 10:22 PM

Nov 2024

"Justice Department officials, including Attorney General Merrick Garland, were shocked by Trump’s decisive election win. For the last four years, Garland has argued that strictly following post-Watergate norms that require the Justice Department to work in a nonpartisan manner in criminal investigations would restore public trust in the Justice Department."

Actually -faithfully executing the law "without fear or favor" would have done so much to protect us all.

I am heartbroken for my country!
