"This is Merrick Garland being scrupulously adherent to the law," said Harry Litman, a former deputy assistant attorney general during the Clinton administration."It doesn't surprise me that at the end of the day, even if it was a close call, he would bend over backwards toward impartiality."
Garland's announcement, while focused on the selection of the special prosecutor, also appeared to contain the suggestion that the ongoing inquiries – examinations into"whether any person or entity unlawfully interfered with the transfer of power" and the mishandling handling of government documents recovered at Trump's Mar-a-Lago, Florida estate – had reached inflection points of their own.
Both investigations that Smith will oversee are well underway. A former chief of the Justice Department's Public Integrity Section from 2010 to 2015, Smith more recently served as war crimes prosecutor at the International Criminal Court in The Hague, Netherlands. Smith also won't have to navigate the roadblock that Mueller ultimately encountered: a Justice Department policy preventing the indictment of a sitting president.But that isn't a concern now."Nobody takes the position that you can't indict aWhile some legal analysts have argued that a special counsel appointment coming in mid-stream would slow prosecutors, Tribe, one of Garland's former law professors, said Smith's selection could actually have the opposite effect.
"There will be a need to get up to speed, but I think the idea is that he moves right in," Tribe said.
The independence of The Justice Department to carry out political vendettas completes your rag paper’s statement more accurately. DOJ needs a complete enema. Print media could use a couple then maybe actually writing with some intellectual integrity would rise again.
No special counsel is needed. No matter what people will say it's politicized. Let the jurors decide, that's what they are there for.
Even is he succeeds it will only last until the next republican president
Is Merick a U.S. General?
What a GASLIGHTING title.
“Deadly Capitol attack” how many died? ZERO. You’re fake News
Are you serious. The biden laptop is essential matter to be resolved but the mighty DOJ and its FBI had two years so far and we heard nothing. So you forgot the third mission to cover up possible corruption at the highest levels. FBI was more diligent when it was Trump
Don't patronage him. He's a political hack . He's
That's a joke
Lol
and here the rest of the planet regards Garland as a Satanic ghoul who hates American Civil Liberties and needs to be impeached asap. SenTedCruz MarshaBlackburn Jim_Jordan RepMattGaetz
Tango Don Trump should have been indicted by now . What is Merrick Garland afraid of ?
Gaslighting joke of a lede.. Drunken tailgaters still in prison on trespassing charges while the menagerie of Biden malfeasance left at a computer repair shop gets ignored.. You are the misinformation CBS was worried about..
Wrong. His challenge is to move to indict Trump and all of his lackeys. To get Justice for the people of the United States against the MAGAGOP for their collective Sedition and Treason from 2015 forward.
Mostly he seems to operate w. a metal rod shoved up his backside.
POS
BS
Is there anything like it?
Aren’t you surprised to see everyone is silent on this?
Defined by being a partisan hack
On Jan 6th, Capitol Police freely opened doors and moved barricades for people
Sorry, but 🤔 he may be nothing but a political tool 🔧. Is this what he really wants as his legacy? He is capable of so much more.
And he has failed at both. Nothing but a sad political hack with hurt feelings. So glad he didn’t make it to the Supreme Court
TheJusticeDept must indict trump. AG Garland is weak. biden should fire him and get a ballbuster in there. wtf is taking so long?
so its been a failure
Tell me, why wasn't a special counsel appointed to look into Joe's profiting from his son's business dealings with China, Russia, and Ukraine? Real journalism is hard!
Merrick Garland is the most blatantly political unethical AG America has ever had. And that is saying something when you consider Eric Holder oversaw IRS targeting conservatives & proudly claimed he was Obama’s “wingman”.
He’s a waste of taxpayers dollars.
It’s crazy how the entire media is a propaganda arm for this administration
'restoring the independence'?!?! Is this the same Merrick Garland that has failed to appoint a Special Counsel to investigate Biden's influence peddling with his son? Same Merrick Garland who sic'ed the FBI against angry parents? WH doesn't need a Press Secretary - they have you
Theyy don’t want youu to know thiss
There wad no insurrection. There is a witch hunt, that must be stopped and ppl who incite it should be prosecuted and punished accordingly. Including activists, who pretend to be journalists. And those below too.
CBS has stopped tweeting.
The only person that was killed on January 6th, was a rioter. And while they should not have entered the capital and rioted, they were likely 'murdered' by the officer that shot her. Why was there no review of force and accountability into the shooting? Sure looks political.
Theyy don’t want youu to know thiss
In other words hunting Republicans. Please look at the deaths the summer leading up to your so called insurrection.
Lol. Independent....lol
This dude needs to behind bars!!
Fail on both counts
🤣🤣🤣🤣
