Episode #112 of the Countdown podcast is up.
The B Block and C Block are repeats from last year, reminding us what Garland has been doing all this time.
A-Block (1:33) SPECIAL COMMENT: Garland has to go — and NOT because he appointed a Special Counsel; that’ll probably work to Biden’s advantage. We have to have somebody there to protect the Trump investigation and Merrick Garland has again shown he’s not smart enough to be trusted with doing it.
Garland has to go because of a question nobody’s asking: Who illegally leaked this confidential investigation to CBS News? How could it leak barely four days after the internal recommendation to name a Counsel? How could Garland have handed this case requiring ultimate secrecy to a Trump appointee? How could he NOW hand the case over to Robert Hur, a DIFFERENT Trump appointee who used to clerk for Justice Rehnquist and has his own page as a “contributing expert” to The Federalist Society? We’ve all long had reasons to question Merrick Garland’s intelligence and savviness, but these are the last straws. He’s just no damn good at this, and right now we have no margin for error for a guy whose Department of Justice is a sieve, and doesn’t understand the realities of the Trump cult. B-Block (18:25) SPECIAL COMMENT No. 2: This is the third time I have suggested Garland must either act or resign. In September 2022, as Trump tried to block the Mar-a-Lago investigation via the “Special Master” there was a way around the stall for Garland. And he just sat back and did nothing. [September 16, 2022] C-Block (28:36) SPECIAL COMMENT No. 3: And in October, Garland seemed to willfully ignore that week-long orgy of Trump’s boastful confessions about the documents he stole. [October 10, 2022]
It’s so bad that there’s even a James Thurber fable, the moral of which is the story of Merrick Garland. It’s called “The Bear Who Let It Alone” [text].
Well, that’s all the damage for now. Good morning, good afternoon, good night, and good luck.
EVERY DOG HAS ITS DAY
