yeah, those same Republicans were crickets when Bill Barr weaponized the DOJ and used the DOJ as Trump's personal attorney.
None of those letters prove that Garland failed to keep politics out of the DOJ. Besides, it's one sided, let's see Garland's response.
You see, the logical fallacy is that to assume that the indictment of criminals has something to do with politics.
No, because the fact that Donald Trump is running for president doesn't ameliorate the following facts:
1, Instead of waiting the usual 6 months out from an election to declare his candacy, he did it 15 months, almost a year in advance of the norm. Why? Because he perceived it would help shield himself from prosecution. But....
2. It didn't, it forced Garland to assign a Special Counsel to investigate him. That was done to create a wall between the presidency and the DOJ, yet Repubs give no credit to Garland for doing it.
3. If Trump had waited until 6 months, like it is normally done, the investigation would be long in playi before he would have declared his candidacy. That being said, the investigation did, in fact, begin before he declared his candidacy.
4. Indicting a politician does not equal politics. Garland indicted Trump for violating the law. The fact Trump is a candidate and now a politician is an
incidental fact.
5. As for politics, the charge falls flat given that Biden's DOJ, headed by Garland, is also investigating the President in the Documents case, his son for 5 years (for who knows what), and other democrats, as well, including Bob menendez, not to mention the DOJ defended Trump twice, in a civil court.
