Donald Trump has committed felonies, says a federal judge. But NO-ONE expects an indictment from the Merrick Garland Justice Department.
Corruption has been normalized. We expect it.
Garland will let Trump commit felony obstruction. Garland won't enforce congressional subpoenas. Garland allows the Trumpers to get away with contempt of Congress. Everyone knows that Garland will do nothing about the January 6 terrorists, no matter what the congressional committee turns up.
(Why is Congress doing an investigation that DOJ should have completed months ago?)
And why didn't Garland do anything with Mueller's evidence?
Mueller's probe was terribly compromised. Where was the counterintelligence investigation we all expected? Where was the probe of Trump's financial dealings with Russians? Yet in the end, Mueller's team handed the Biden DOJ ten counts of obstruction of justice, all neatly packaged and ready to go. No further investigation needed. Those counts could have resulted in an indictment the day after Trump's presidency ended. Mueller made that very point in his congressional testimony.
Do you really think that Mueller's evidence was insufficient to convince a D.C. jury? Trump could and should have been jailed a year ago.
Garland's damnable inaction is indistinguishable from collusion. If Trump had chosen the Attorney General, would the results be any different? Frankly, at this point, I consider Jeff Sessions preferable to Merrick Garland.
Merrick Garland is the real reason why Biden's poll numbers are sinking with Democrats. Democratic voters mobilized in 2020 not because they were enthused about Joe Biden or his ideas but because they saw Trump's criminality and yearned to see him brought to justice. We really don't care about the current administration's policies. We want to see Trump in an orange jump suit.
We need that visual as much as we need food or water.
Biden has pursued the course I feared he would take: In the name of unity, he has shown an absurd degree of lenience toward his opponents, toward fanatics who would slit his throat if they could get away with it. Dems must forget about bringing everyone together for a national kumbaya moment. Unity is no longer possible. We're in an ideological war which will end only when one side is defeated.
I love Marcy Wheeler, but what people like her do not understand is that the public does not -- cannot -- follow the details of the many scandals that buzz in and out the news. People judge by results. If a jury hears evidence and sends Trump to jail, many (though by no means all) of Trump's followers will snap out of their collective trance. If Trump walks free, then a majority of your fellow citizens will buy into the narrative that the allegations were false and that he has always been the victim of conspiratorial forces.
Garland must go.
To further prove my point...
Why hasn’t Matt Gaetz been arrested?

Roger Stone, who a few months ago accused Matt Gaetz of criminality, is back to being friendly with him, which makes me worry that he knows something that we don’t. The first two screenshots below are from a few months ago. The third is from a few days ago. Quite a change. pic.twitter.com/Z6JjdVIUiX

What exactly are the chances that a next Trump presidency would see the same sort of tolerance of Biden? And the US Attorney continues to investigate Hunter Biden.
Joe - Please share some thoughts on the whole Hunter’s laptop thing. In particular, why all of a sudden are our corporate elites allowing it to be talked about in the wash post, CNN, and such. It went from a non topic to being out front.

Joseph,
I agree. If Garland won’t Get Going on all those cases, he’s got to go.
Also, looking forward to your thinking about Nietzsche and Heidegger. Having read a bit of Nietzsche, I’m able observe that he can seem to be something of a Rorschach test figure: open to unending interpretations.
But his truly evil nature is right out there in the open, for all to see. The Greeks and the Romans, whom he ceaselessly praises for their strength, were of course slave “owning” societies.
Very good to have you back.
Thanks, and I apologize for playing hooky. Even though "Child Stealers" has not sold well, I'm writing another book. It's really hard to write about current events while trying to solve a puzzle from a half-century ago. When I was younger, it was easier to divide my focus, but now...
But I'm almost done with this chapter. Back soon.
I'd REALLY like to write about Nietzsche. Also Rene Girard, beloved mentor to Peter Thiel.
I did do a lot of research into the Hunter Biden laptop allegations. Hope to have something up fairly soon.
Who is Martin Cannon?
small j: He's a dangerous man -- a true international man of mystery, the subject of many bizarre rumors in the 1990s. For decades, he disappeared; no-one knows why -- and no-one knows why he has returned. Apparently, the only way to solve this enigma is to purchase his book, "The Child Stealers." You may want to consider buying a physical copy: It is said that you can discover secret messages if you hold each page up to the light. Others say that you need to purchase MULTIPLE copies in order to study the subtle differences between editions (as in "The Ninth Gate").
I read books on a nook device, but I added a Kindle app so I could buy The Child Stealers. I couldn't hold it up to the light, but I did shine a strobe light at the front and got some eerie messages. I'm not sure what they mean. I am going on a seven hour flight to Israel next week and will read the book then. Off topic, you used to have moonofalabama.org on your link list and I told you that it was Russian and Iranian front. Apparently, since you took it off, you now agree with me. I think I should get some props for that. Anyway, which is the nom de plume, Martin or Joe?
With regard to The Child Stealers, I suppose you've seen this https://www.cbsnews.com/news/secret-service-arian-taherzadeh-haider-ali-accused-impersonating-federal-agents/
I did NOT know about that story, joseph. Wow...
I think you probably would agree with me that there must be far more to this story than has been revealed so far. It was an expensive operation. Who paid?
"You may want to consider buying a physical copy: It is said that you can discover secret messages if you hold each page up to the light."
I did that. Or more exactly, I've been reading the book in bed by the light of a small solar-powered lamp that I fix to my headboard. And on every page, on the edge nearest the spine, there shone out a fluorescent whiter-than-white glow. WTF?
( ^ Seriously!)
