Boom! Jan. 6 Committee Cranks Up The Pressure On Merrick Garland | Talking Points Memo

It’s not at all clear to me that Attorney General Garland is the one feeling the pressure this morning. I mean to say, I am certain someone is feeling a bit of personal risk this morning, but Mr. Garland would not be my first guess as to who that was.

I’d like to take this opportunity to renew my call: HANG. THEM. ALL. EVERY. LAST. ONE.

Hoping to burnish his nonexistent foreign policy bona fides in preparation for 2024 Florida Guy/Governor Ron DeSantis says France would fold if attacked by Russia.

Ron DeSantis, the governor of Florida and a serious contender for the Republican presidential nomination in 2024, has said France would not put up a fight if Russia invaded, as it did in Ukraine.

“A lot of other places around the world, they just fold the minute there’s any type of adversity,” DeSantis told reporters at a press event at South Florida

“I mean can you imagine if he [Vladimir Putin] went into France? Would they do anything to put up a fight? Probably not.”

I’ve made several reviews. I might get around to a few more today.

And what would happen if Florida was invaded by Russia?

Just asking questions, as a particular bow-tied moron would say.

OK Merrick Garland, follow the yellow brick road. The select committee has provided the map!

A great many of their upscale districts would be safe from shelling, as it would damage too many of their oligarch owned condominiums and mansions.

DeathSentence needs to explain how Russia gets through Poland and Germany before they invade France but he can’t because he’s stupid.

Everything Trump touches dies. Except Mike Pence.

Ah, but see, that’s because he wanted Pence dead. So it didn’t happen. He failed, yet again, at that also.

I hope Ms. Jackson says she’ll offer her LSAT score in return for Tucker’s IQ score. Helpful hint – every time he gets concerned, an 11 emerges on his forehead. Coincidence?

He still has a great future as town flycatcher.

I know you’re joking, but he’d be more than welcome at one of my outdoor summer parties standing in a far corner, like a statue, attracting the flies. People would ask, is that Mike Pence over there, then go on with eating their coleslaw.

DOJ has executed a search warrant for the electronic devices of Trump’s lawyer, and just yesterday it obtained a guilty plea with a cooperation agreement from the Oath Keeper in charge of keeping Roger Stone happy on J6. So obviously, Garland is giving Fat Boy a pass on all this?

I’m convinced that Biden’s low approval rating is in part due to the fact that Trump still walks free, over a year after his crimes.

Many people just want to see Trump brought to justice, and the fact it has yet to happen has them very frustrated and fearful it will never come to pass. When they express their angst over this it is helpful to filter it through that prism. I’m guilty of it for sure. But personally I’m persuaded Trump walks, and I don’t say that out of cynicism or frustration, I just feel it’s not going to happen.

Thank you for the feels, Eeyore. We’re all very concerned with your uninformed feels.
