I've been amazed by how many people who think attacking the DOJ who's prosecuting Trump is good politics [View all]

...maybe they don't think it's good politics. Maybe they're just not thinking of the consequences.

President Biden has never said a word of criticism against his AG, so it's a mystery to me why anyone would believe that kind of attack on the man carrying forward so much of the administration's justice initiatives is sound strategy in his reelection effort.

But it's the calls for Garland to resign that seem the most ignorant to me. What do people believe would be the political effect of removing the man who prosecuted over a thousand white supremacist Trump-supporting Capitol rioters, including for charges of Sedition and obstructing the vote?

What would be the actual political result of removing the man who hired the SC who quickened and deepened the Trump investigations into dual prosecutions with multiple felony counts?

That's not even considering the logistical problems of getting a newAG through the Senate and delaying ongoing DOJ prosecutions and investigations even further.

Besides, who else is hollering from the rooftops to have the AG removed? Is it really too hard to envision who would benefit the most from that ridiculous demand?

What evidence is there that a new AG would do ANYTHING differently than Garland? I think it's tragicomedic how this 'fire Garland' refrain gets repeated like it's some sage political advice.

Thank heavens the Biden WH isn't talking like this. I'd imagine they like being the administration who's holding Trump accountable. The president has said this week that defense of democracy is the reason he's running.

Do Garland critics believe he's so hapless as to allow the absurd things people accuse Garland of to continue, unconcerned and oblivious?

Someone should ask the president how he feels about his AG and then, when he correctly expresses confidence maybe people who presume to be defending the country against this admin's Attorney General can promote something other than counterproductive, politically dense suggestions to replace him.
