Thank you Heather. All who are dedicated to the concept of freedom the importance of democracy must rise up and commit in our mind, heart, and actions as AG Garland stated about the DOJ: “We will not back down from defending our democracy.” Together we must bend the moral arc of the universe back toward justice.

Tired of the criticism of Garland. Too many people, even on this Substack, have been whining about Garland's speed to indict Trump. The unprecedented process of indicting a former US President is very, very complex and to suggest that Garland should have gone quicker only shows the lack of understanding by those who criticize.
I wasn't speaking about the Trump indictments. I was referring to his remarks yesterday about his defending the independence of the DOJ. He should have been saying that forcefully since Day 1 of the Biden administration. He hasn't.
There was no reason for him to “defend” himself any earlier. It was only because he was called into this ridiculous inquiry. Most should be aware that the DoJ is one of many government agencies that exist no matter who holds political power.
I am tired of the criticism of Garland, also. He is a person who thoroughly investigates thoroughly before issuing a statement. I trust that approach far more than the snap judgement of more ill-informed individuals.
Yes, we wait for outcomes but with matters of the law, it takes time to study the facts and follow the law to find the TRUTH. In this insane time, truth is a rare thing to find.
I feel we have had a concerted voice these past eight years. But I do notice the lack of amplification by MSM. The grifter make MUCH more money for them. We are Cassandra, complete with the “being driven insane” part. “Flood the Zone with Shit” Master Bannon prescribed, drown their truth in shit is the effect. The incentive for MSM and Social Media is $$$$ by any means necessary to please the shareholders. Change the incentive and we might get a level playing field and a bit more amplification. But I don’t see that equation happening any time soon. It’s too sane.
They are so rude, not at all interested in responses, talk over everyone, don’t listen, and on and on. They just want to get on their soapboxes! Can’t back up most of what they say. Don’t deal in facts just their almighty righteous opinions!
DOJ employees have heard that voice a number of times not as a "sound bite' but, as the part of the executive administration of a critically important Agency, DOJ, emphasis on the "J" for justice. But, you are correct Georgia, it was directly on point for Garland to say (paraphrasing),. "As the President said, I am 'not his Attorney' & will I add 'I am not the Congresses' Prosecutor".
Yes, Emily, I stated this same thing to a friend who criticizes Garland for slow-walking tfg's indictments. I said Garland most probably was waiting for Jack Smith to become available - the right man for the job. (He was, apparently, correct to do so.)
Hi Julia Marie! Thanks for the affirmation and for letting me know you’ve been saying the same thing. The delay was agonizing but the Justice Department was not sitting on its hands, either, and the J6 committee was informing the public. Jack Smith is indeed the right man for the job; furthermore, the seeming delay and the appointment of a Special Council makes the investigations and indictments clearly apolitical — to anyone with any discernment.
Got that right Emily; I get regular updates from the DOJ DC Office recording & publishing the Declrations of Evidence, "informations" photos, complaint up to four(4) amended Indictments, the guilty pleas & the now over 1100 J6 convictions including seditious conspiracy convictions. Prosecutions & arrests continue.
Many of the admissible facts from those cases are now "res judicata" (RJ) in present prosecutions. RJ means "already decided". Currently active Court proceedings need only take "Judicial Notice" of those facts per the Federal Rules of Procedure (FRCP). All that work was under the direction of a former 20 Year Federal Judge, MERRICK GARLAND., US AG.
Garland was also supervising the investigation of the most important, complex, notorious, sleazy mobster insurrectionist this country has ever experienced. And painstakingly, legally convicting and dismantling that traitor's "Proud" Brown Shirts army so that our democracy would not be destroyed in a manufactured civil war. I am in awe of AG Garland and his team.
If you wrote a substack letter once in a while, I think you would have a batch of subscribers. No pressure. Just a strong interest in your thinking and talent for composition. Sign me up if you do...
Thank you. Working on Substack's Rules of the Road, if you will, so I can Comment on the Rule of Law without Trolls disruptions in the next 14 Months into November 2024. I have over 30 years as Litigator-Trial Attorney CA state & Federal, California Northern & Central Districts, but, also very interested revolutionary microbiology & "Precision Medicine". Also, I have done over 35 years of Pro Bono work sorting out medical billing hassles for Patients. I continue on both fronts.
Okay, it's your fault, Bryan, that I, an MSN RN x 50 years, who loves microbiology and hates IMprecise medicine, just spent an hour researching your above mentioned topics. Wow! Thank You! As an RN patient advocate in private practice for the past 13 years of my career, I look forward to the day when advances such as these put me out of business. By the Way: Currently reading the riveting "Destiny of the Republic: A Tale of Madness, Medicine and the Murder of a President" by Candace Millard. She deftly weaves 1880 medical and physics discoveries with political mayhem circa President Garfield's administration.
Thank you for the Candace Millard capsule review. I will check it out. On Med matters, I am a Subscriber to Dr. Jeremy Faust's Substack "Inside Medicine". Dr Faust is an ER Doc. I love the way ER Staff, all of them, process critical facts into immediate medical treatment. I hang out a lot at UCSF Medical Center in "Mission Bay" in SF learning as much as I can. Rapid progress on many fronts.

Glad Merrick Garland found his voice. Wish he had done so sooner.

There's probably more to it that we're not privy to. I believe in Garland.
There was no reason for him to “defend” himself any earlier. It was only because he was called into this ridiculous inquiry. Most should be aware that the DoJ is one of many government agencies that exist no matter who holds political power.
I agree 100%.

Kudos to you, Cathy.
I wish the Democratic Party, and more so, we the people, had found our concerted voices sooner.

He's always done do in these hearings but usually in his soft-spoken way. What made today's different was the ferocity of the extremists.
They are so rude, not at all interested in responses, talk over everyone, don’t listen, and on and on. They just want to get on their soapboxes! Can’t back up most of what they say. Don’t deal in facts just their almighty righteous opinions!

I think all along Garland was waiting for Jack Smith to finish his work at The Hague.

Me, too, MaryPat! The work of the Justice Department and AG Garland has been meticulous.
That's the word! It had to be meticulous.
