In reply to the discussion: Another Shout Out To Merrick Garland [View all]Fiendish Thingy
(21,878 posts)59. My reply didn't single you out specifically
My reply focused on MY point of view (which you had distorted in your post), and described the general POV espoused by many Garland threads- Trump escaped justice because of Garland- and they never, ever mention the role of the Roberts court.
The obstruction of the Roberts court is an established fact, and there is no evidence that another AG could have forced a trial before the election, and plenty of evidence that the Roberts court intended to delay any trial until after the election, regardless of the timing of any indictments.
The immunity ruling alone guaranteed another year, if not multiple years, of delays with hearings and appeals to determine which crimes were official acts.
I know it and you know it.

Ha! Great link! That perfectly illustrates the absurdity of all the stupid nicknames given to Trump.

If true, among actual former KGB agents, this "code name" would make conversation easier ...

I promised myself to never engage with Garland bashers again, and this thread is proof of how right my decision was

Just to say "I told you so". I am not engaging in any conversation beyond that.
