My confidence that Merrick Garland will do the right thing is virtually zero

[Scrivener7]

115. I have been vocal about my growing lack of faith in Garland. However, I am finding

a lot of new faith based on the actions of Jack Smith.

While the Garland "investigation" was silent and left no trail whatsoever - ahem - we are seeing a lot of activity out of Jack Smith.

I believe Jack Smith will do something. Whether Garland acts on it or not remains to be seen, but why would Garland have hired Smith unless it was to do what he was unwilling or unable to do? Why he waited so long to appoint someone if he was unwilling or unable to do it, I don't know. But here we are. (And yes, to the ones who are going to feel the need to school me, I do understand that he appointed him when tfg announced. So what? What prevented it before then?)

We may see something yet. I'll believe it when I see it, but at least there is now a visible paper trail forming. You know, the DOJ doesn't leak, but that Jack Smith must be a big old leaker, and I'm glad to see it.

But, on another subject, the constant cheerleading and divisive shit-stirring and namecalling on DU by those who need to demand multiple times a day that we all agree with them and have perfect faith in Garland is moronic and, in my mind, suspect.
