I'm very tired of the Merrick Garland hate. The idea that he's going to let Trump off the hook is not only offensive, it's silly. When you go for a former president—which has NEVER BEEN DONE IN THE HIS COUNTRY'S HISTORY—you'd better make sure all I's are dotted and T's crossed. Impugning the motives of a man who put a needle in Timothy McVeigh is offensive. Just my two cents. YMMV.

I must admit I've on occasion have become impatient. Every time Laurence Henry Tribe, legal scholar, University Professor Emeritus at Harvard University and Garlands ex-teacher expresses his own impatience, it fuels mine.
@Americanist4u Look, I understand impatience. But Jaysus and the wee donkey. This is, to use that overused word, unprecedented. You'd best make sure you first shot is your kill shot.
@LiberalLibrarian
Those who know better than I have made your point. Garland is in an extraordinarily difficult position. The Jan 6 committee just set everything up for him, ready to indict. I say we are looking at months rather than another year.
