71. Replace Garland with "Acting" AG Glenn Kirschner

Tue Oct 19, 2021, 11:37 PM

Oct 2021

A experienced prosecutor for over 30 years will get the necessary job done to save Democracy and the Rule of Law.

Also, if the DOJ doesn't prosecute the orange terrorist on Obtruction of Justice and Witness Tampering The DOJ will be OK about the Obstruction of Justice allegations detailed in the Mueller Report, crimes Mueller himself confirmed he could be prosecuted for after he's no longer in the WH.
