Reinstatement planning well underway. They moved up the timeline when they saw the news that Biden’s hanging out in Europe for a week, so don’t even have to worry about evicting him to move in.

So here’s a question:
Now that the federal DOJ has taken a stand, anyone want to speculate on how the GQP leadership at the federal and State level is feeling right now? Are they nonchalant about this announcement? Do they care at all? Will it stop anything else from going forward?
I just can’t see the arrogant GQP taking this at all seriously. After all, and we all know this (and I’m not being sarcastic or cynical here) - the wheels of Justice move exceedingly slowly. Always have and always will.
Just because the number of bodies investigating this is doubled (and I bet down the line even more than doubled), will that deter any doer of the GQP’s deeds from changing their direction or stopping their momentum?
I just don’t think this has any impact or deterrent.

To be fair to Garland, this was a policy speech not a presser. Your questions would, however, be excellent points of focus for his next one.

This feels like the point in the story where the guy who’s been saying he’s got all the evidence of all the corruption in the world finally brings you back to his place and shows you The Truth…which turns out to be bits of garbage and random news-clippings pasted into rows and rows* of notebooks.
* This is more of a turn-of-phrase, whereas they are really more spastically strewn about the house.

Let me guess:
- delivering a crushing blow to democracy in the United States?
- living in his fantasy world where he rules forever as “Dear Leader”?
- grifting 24/7?

Garland addressed not only the slew of…
This is an excellent slew, he addressed.
Don’t forget the harassment of actual voters who are faced with exercising their right against a party encouraging racists to go to non-local precincts to “watch over” them.
Which means you and I too.
And I don’t like it either. They’ll have to pry my ballot out of my cold, dead hands… before I let a bunch of “Can We Shift The Orbit” Republican politicians judge my values.

O I like this. And we’ve got Kristen Clarke in charge of the Civil Rights Division. This is great.

Not enough. DOJ itself has to come under the microscope. It failed utterly during the Trump years, and it’s failing us under Biden with its continued attachment to the theory that the president can do no wrong. This is like expanding a police force that is rotten to the core.

Sounds like we are going to have an interesting summer. About time the hammer comes down.

It is concerning in the extreme that Merrick Garland has not spoken up emphatically and sooner. A part of me is wondering if it took blowback from the DOJ wanting to take over and effectively nullify Trump’s defamation suit by E. Jean Carroll for Garland to address the American people. I wish I felt better about today’s policy speech. Where is the sense of urgency? One senator D with a heart attack and we are back to Constitutional abuse on steroids.

Responding to the lab leaks post #5, a lot of this was just a matter of reading. The profoundly bad responses to the coronavirus by both Beijing and Washington highlight the lack of curiosity and functional illiteracy at high levels of government. No wonder Michael Lewis was so pissed!
You know… quite a few Fed jobs require polygraphs…
I would not be against those supervising those who do require them, also taking them.
