@JeffFlake
You know the overall problem? Dems play by the rules and follow morality. Gop does anything they can to obtain and hold power, regardless of rules and morality.
We have to stop bringing butter knives to gun fights. We are getting trampled.
If trump wins, he will seize power and turn America into a dictatorship.
If trump loses, he will say the election was rigged and will push his cult into starting a civil war.
If trump was held accountable, he would be in prison and couldn’t do any of those things.
So let me get this straight…
@mehdirhasan
was fired from MSNBC for speaking truth to power.
And now
@MSNBC
have hired
@RonnaMcDaniel
, who actively tried to overthrow democracy.
This is the final nail in the coffin. Not only for MSNBC, but for serious journalism in America.
@PreetBharara
America is now officially a dictatorship. Trump will install a loyalist and magically all investigations into him and his family will disappear.
@MSNBC
Trump takes a few steps into a dictators kingdom and the media goes absolutely mental.
Trump gets accused of rape and sexual assault for the 22nd time and “oh... it’s just another news day”.
There is an insurrectionist running for president, insurrectionists running Congress, and insurrectionists running the Supreme Court.
Garland does NOTHING.
@MEPFuller
The DNI needs to resign immediately for his blatant lie. Trump needs to resign immediately for dereliction of duty and not upholding oath of office.
@matthewamiller
This was organised between trump and Barr. They see Barr is at risk of removal, so they are trying to paint him as independent.
All lies.
Remember when
@sarahkendzior
reported that garland’s goal was to appear as though he was holding trump accountable but the real goal was to let him run in the election?
Now think about what’s happened with every single federal case against trump in the last 4 years.
Apparently holding an ex-president accountable for trying to overturn an election will “tear the country apart”, but allowing him to run for president again is a-ok.
This is literal hell.
Person gets 5 years prison for leaking trump’s tax returns.
The same returns that prove trump committed tax fraud which trump has received 0 years for.
Tucker’s next show after acquiring the Jan 6 security footage.
“You see, when you play it backwards, it’s actually a group of patriots repairing windows, cleaning shit off the walls, tidying up Pelosi’s office and dismantling a set of gallows”
Remember years and years ago how
@sarahkendzior
reported that Garland’s purpose was to appear like he was holding trump accountable but his real goal was to give him a free pass to run against Biden?
Most accurate reporting ever.
Garland should have been fired when he turned a blind eye to the 10 counts of obstruction of justice that mueller handed to him on a silver platter.
Not pursuing those charges with the clearly laid out evidence was the crime of obstruction of justice by garland.
Desantis is trafficking humans.
Abbot is killing babies daily with circular saws.
Thomas is accepting millions of dollars in bribes.
Jarred is accepting $2b from the saudis.
But please garland, continue to appoint a special fucking counsel for private citizen tax crimes.
“Garland has refused to investigate Kushner. A likely reason is that, were he to investigate Kushner – who remains a profound national security threat – he would also be investigating his best friend.”

@sarahkendzior
When I first read
@sarahkendzior
’s reporting, I thought, there’s no possible way that trump can remain free for 4 years until the next election. Not a chance, he committed insurrection FFS!
Since then, every part of Sarah’s reporting about garland has come true.
Even if garland drops the king of all indictments on trump tomorrow, he has already failed.
Allowing an ex-president and congressional republicans to go without consequences for 2.5 years after attempting an actual coup is a scar that will never heal.
Garland: “We pursue justice without fear or favor. We intend to hold EVERYONE who was criminally responsible for events surrounding January 6 responsible”.
Also Garland: *Doesn’t hold a single organizer responsible for Jan 6*
Garland should have been fired the moment he declined to charge trump for the 10 counts of obstruction of justice handed to him in the mueller report.
The fact that he wasn’t, showed from the very start that both Biden and Garland wanted trump to get a free pass.
Remember when the Judge said trump can’t threaten witnesses and then he threatened a witness like 9 hours later and nothing happened to him?
That right there is the type of shit that’s killing the public’s faith in the rule of law and is allowing fascists to take over.
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito is facing calls to recuse himself from cases involving the 2020 presidential election after reports emerged of an inverted American flag flown outside his home days after the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Just so everyone knows, it’s not the responsibility of voters to hold federal criminals accountable by voting them out in an election.
It’s the responsibility of the department of justice to hold them accountable by applying the rule of law.
What disgusts me, is that it’s been 3.5 years since the biggest crime against American democracy was committed, and not only is every single organizer still free, but garland hasn’t provided 1 single sniff of an update about what the DOJ is doing about the crime.
Soul crushing.
Always remember, Jim Jordan committed the exact same crime as Peter Navarro.
Peter Navarro is spending his first night in jail tonight.
Jim Jordan isn’t.
Comey handed the presidency to trump by breaking DOJ policy and precedent.
Now he’s trying to make money through the media by telling everyone how dangerous trump is.
Comey is a grifting prick who can fuck all the way off. And I mean ALL the way off.
Dear Judge Engoron,
Today is the day. Don’t play games. Don’t fuck with us. We have been through enough. Drop the damn hammer.
Thanks,
Everyone who isn’t a trump cultist.
If Biden had removed garland 2.5 years ago when he refused to charge trump for the 10 counts of obstruction of justice outlined in the mueller report, the traitorous raping cancer would have been in prison for a year now.
@kylegriffin1
The DNI needs to resign immediately for his blatant lie. Trump needs to resign immediately for dereliction of duty and not upholding oath of office. Trump betrayed America.
So let me get this straight… if you took a shit and broke a window at J6, you get 4 years prison.
But if you organized the entire thing, as well as installed fake electors to overturn democracy, you get to run for president.
Looks like the Roger stone plotting to assassinate dem politicians thing has blown over after a day with zero consequences.
Same pattern over and over: evidence of clear Republican crimes, zero response from garland.
I love how the coup happened on video in broad daylight and then everyone asked for pardons, but 4 years later not a single organizer has been held accountable.
Perfectly functioning justice system under Merrick Garland right there.
Today, Donald trump called a judge presiding over one of his many cases a “fraud” to his face WHILE IN COURT.
The fact that he isn’t now in prison for contempt of court is exactly the same brand of BS that is killing the rule of law and democracy in America.
Pure WEAKNESS.
I’m not a lawyer, so please explain this to me:
If a prosecutor has clear and undeniable evidence of a federal crime that carries the possibility of the death penalty and threatens national security in the most egregious way possible, why wouldn’t they arrest them on the spot?
In usual Garland style, he totally ignores the blatant crimes of sedition and treason by republicans, and instead goes after something totally irrelevant, in this case, a phone company.
It’s mind blowing that he still has a job.
Thanks to merrick garland and Biden’s bipartisanship, we now have coup plotters running the house of reps.
Democracy cannot possibly be in a worse place.
@MaddowBlog
This is what happens when you don’t hold people who commit espionage accountable immediately.
Thanks merrick garland. You have risked nation security yet again.
Whenever we get close to even the slightest sniff of justice, it’s ripped away from us. Then they spit In our faces and rub salt in our wounds.
ENOUGH.
A person who attempted a violent coup, has been indicted on 34 felonies, stole government classified docs and sold them to America’s enemies, and was just found liable for sexual assault is running for president.
No one is stopping him. This is a completely vile joke.
By the way, Jack smith could have moved at any time to remove the obviously bias Cannon from the classified docs case, but he didn’t. Now it’s too late.
Complete failure. Like always.
Imagine catching a bank robber red handed, then giving them 4 years of freedom to work out how they can improve on robbing a bank, then allowing them to rob the same bank bank again.
That’s exactly how garland has treated trump and his coup.
I can’t wait for the April hush money criminal trial, where trump will be found guilty but then will be sentenced to 100 hours of community service playing golf at his own resort.
Because justice is DEAD.
