Garland is not a Democrat but is a Republican. He is a member of the Federalist Society and should never have been appointed. Biden's biggest mistake. I am beginning to suspect that he is in sympathy with Trump and his clowns and is in fact complicit. He should resign immediately.

When (hopefully not "if") President Biden wins reelection, it's my hope he replaces Garland. Former Sen. Doug Jones, D-Ala., and former Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates were under consideration when Garland was selected. From what I've read and seen about both of them, neither of them will give a F**K about looking political. But the fact that a DOJ SC's report about the sitting President of the US wasn't reviewed by the AG to ensure its appropriateness prior to release is one of the most "political" things I've seen. It was shameful and, while I know POTUS says he is "hands off" the DOJ, I hope he at minimum called Garland and tore him a new one. To allow the remarks about his memory and his son to remain - are indefensible!
I suspect that in fact Garland did review Hur's report and permitted it to be released as is. Garland is a disgrace and should resign, but of course won't. My question now is who is influencing Garland, given that he's both a Republican and clearly a Federalist Society stooge.
You think? Time to get him on tv and ask the question followed by - if you say you don't wish to appear political why did you allow a SC with no neurological credentials to editorialize about his memory in a report that was irrelevant to what he was tasked with doing? Even VP Harris said today that "The way that the President’s demeanor in that report was characterized could not be more wrong on the facts," she said, adding, “And clearly politically motivated, gratuitous.” Clearly politically motivated. Huh... sounds like just what Garland didn't want to appear to be doing.
Garland's claim to be apolitical is bullshit. He refused to prosecute Trump until he was embarrassed into it by the J6 Committee. He has dragged his feet all along and now has provided ammunition to the right to go after Biden. He is a plant. Biden was scammed into appointing him and is now paying for that mistake.
The problem is that it's probably politically impossible for Biden to fire Garland now. The right will start screaming "retaliation" and cover up". Might have to wait until after the election, which I'm still assuming Biden is going to win.
Totally disagree, It would not make a bit of fucking difference if they do that, they're not voting for Biden anyway. But it would fire up the Dems and left leaning independents for damn sure.
You may be right. Democrats have to really start fighting back. We need to pressure Biden to fire that asshole Garland or he won't do it. The damage Garland has done is now incalculable, all of it probably deliberate.
Maybe he'll do the right thing and resign. Hmmmm....Republican....saving his own legacy......nah. He's already shown he doesn't do the right thing. Republicans are ingrates one and all.
Linda, you're right. He is and more of one than we than we bargained for. He's like the double agent spy. And further proof there ain't no good Republicans. But he still has that aura around him that he thinks, no matter how he feels about publicly how he's coming across, that overly stretching to appear fair. It winds up looking dumb and/or sinister. Is he a damn plant? You can't be nice to Republicans. He lingered out there being trashed by Republicans and denied a hearing for anything, Democrats saved his dignity and this is what they get. Let that be a lesson to us to think deeper about that compassion thing. He feels like Comey who put his reputation over country. And then wound up with worse one than he would have had.

be fired would be better. then Biden could appoint an "acting AG"
