Showing Original Post only (View all)I have been an ardent defender of AG Garland, but after today's political charged report against [View all]
President Biden's handling of the document case, with insinuations in the report citing "age and memory issues" as factors, and reflecting on the delays from the DOJ in investigating Donald Trump, seemingly only to initiate a special prosecutor appointment only after the January 6th committee had finished their investigation, and very likely being a motivating force in that appointment, I am personally disappointed and disillusioned in the DOJ.
The fact that by all appearances, Fani WIllis, Letitia James, and district attorney Bragg seemed more aggressive in their pursuit of Donald Trump's misdeads than AG Garland, only add to my disappointment with the DOJ.

"Swift Boating", a very appropriate description of the SC's editorial pointlessly set within his "finding of fact".
