Biden Mad Garland Didn't Take Trump Out Early

Timothy Birdnow

Joe Biden wanted Trump prosecuted in 2022, and was angry at Merrick Garland for not pursuing him more aggressively, according to a new report.

From the article:

The report, published in the Washington Post on Saturday, echoes reporting nearly three years ago by the New York Times, which suggested in 2022 that Biden was frustrated with the slow pace of Garland, a "ponderous judge.”

The Post noted:

In private, Biden has also said he should have picked someone other than Merrick Garland as attorney general, complaining about the Justice Department’s slowness under Garland in prosecuting Trump, and its aggressiveness in prosecuting Biden’s son Hunter, according to people familiar with his comments.


Ron Klain, Biden’s incoming chief of staff, pushed for Garland. He stressed that Garland — a federal judge with a sterling reputation for independence and fairness — would show Americans that Biden was rebuilding a department badly shaken by Trump’s political attacks.

Biden was persuaded, and some Democrats believe the decision had devastating results. Had the Justice Department moved faster to prosecute Trump for allegedly seeking to overturn the 2020 election and mishandling classified documents, they say, the former president might have faced a politically damaging trial before the election. (Others blame the Supreme Court and a Trump-appointed judge in Florida for repeatedly siding with the former president and delaying the cases; the Justice Department declined to comment.)

The Biden White House claimed throughout his presidency that it was not politicizing the Department of Justice, and was in fact depoliticizing it. Democrats claimed that the department had been politicized by then-Attorney General William Barr, who refused to release grand jury materials related to Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into so-called "Russia collusion.” Barr noted that it was against the law for him to release grand jury materials.

Soooo....whatever helps you sleep at night Joe! But in the end it is YOU who politicized, nay, weaponized the DOJ (and your boss before you with ERic Holder) and in fact Garland was enough of a lawyer to know he couldn''t just file wild charges nilly-willy. You apparently don't understand that, do you Joe?

Biden can take solace from one fact; until yesterday he was only one of the two worst Presidents alive. Now he holds the singular honor of being the worst - possibly worst ever.

Not sure how he's going to defend himself when he meets his final judgment, but I wouldn't want to be in his shoes.
