Remember the Mueller report? How we were all waiting on the edge of our seats the day it dropped?
What did we get? Bill Barr and his bullshit nothing-burger press conference.
Sure, the next day everyone read it and said WTF? But by then, it was too late, the press (and tRUmp) had their soundbite from Barr and that was it.
So where the fuck was Garland? It’s bad enough he let a Trump guy do the investigation in the first place. But he should’ve been out there ahead of the public release with a nice, polite “No charges filed, Biden exonerated” soundbite.
Instead, we get “Feeble old man, bad memory” ad nauseam, even on NPR. The public hasn’t heard from Garland in months, if this wasn’t a good time to step up to the podium, I don’t know what is.
It wouldn’t have been that hard. Nothing the least bit political about it. I understand his desire not to appear partisan. But letting these assholes play by a completely different set of rules is chickenshit.
