Merrick Garland appreciation thread
Joe Biden knew what he was up against when choosing an attorney general. Merrick Garland knew what he was up against when he took the job.
They both knew the ex-president is a criminal and that he committed a metric buttload of crimes while in office.
They both knew that shit was going to get political, no ifs, ands, or buts.
They both knew that prosecuting an ex-president would open up a political can of worms and there is no way to avoid that.
They both knew they had to make decisions that would make the reich wing explode with rage.
They both know (present tense) that NOT prosecuting these massive political crimes would be worse than prosecuting them.
It looks to me that somewhere along the way, maybe very recently, Merrick Garland ran out of fucks to give, and he is now seizing cell phones, subpoenaing records, taking depositions, obtaining the J6 committee's investigatory material, and he's going after all these criminal fucks.
All along the way he has told us that no one is above the law and that he would follow the evidence no matter where it leads. We needed to believe him, even when it looked like we shouldn't have hope.
The best we can do now is to continue to voice our support for going after these fucks. And if you want to contact the DOJ for any reason - even to thank them and give them support - you can do it here: https://www.justice.gov/contact-us

I was one of the Garland skeptics, although I was hoping that things were moving — albeit slowly — behind the scenes. Trump’s Teflon coat up to now made it hard for me to think otherwise.
I am proud to admit that I was wrong, and I applaud Garland for taking this action. I’m willing to wait as long as it takes if it means finally taking down Donald Trump FOR GOOD. This man cannot be allowed to continue his destruction of this country any longer.
Thank you, Merrick Garland.
