    Merrick Garland should have recused himself from anything pertaining to former President Donald Trump. Period, full stop.

    Think about it.

    President Barack Obama nominated Merrick Garland for the United States Supreme Court in 2016. With the presidential election looming that coming November, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell halted the nomination and refused to allow it to even go to the Judiciary Committee, let alone to the floor of the Senate for a confirmation vote.

    This immediately made Garland a major issue in the 2016 presidential campaign.

    Donald Trump vowed to personally remove his name as a nominee for the high court should he win the election, and that became part of the reason for his historic and unlikely victory.

    Trump won. Garland's name was withdrawn, and his hopes of landing the lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court and a place in American history were dashed forever.

    Fast-forward to last year when Joe Biden became the accidental place-holder president for the Establishment and the Deep State. He made Garland Attorney General partially as a consolation prize and partially as a symbolic message to Trump and Republicans.

    In the intervening months since taking his position, he's dutifully done the bidding of the Biden White House, including the outrageous decision to set up a special FBI task force to investigate parents who protest at school board meetings as domestic terrorists.

    Whatever Biden, the Democrats, and their special interest overlords demanded, he was quick to comply.

    You want parents investigated? You got it!…


    …Any chance this petty, little, vindictive man had to use his department as a political tool to punish the enemies of the American left, he took it.

    And it all led to yesterday's Banana Republic cosplay in West Palm Beach, Florida….

    T
    he author is right. The AG is a bitter and vindictive old man. He resents not getting onto the Supreme Court and blames Trump for using him as the issue that won him his upset victory in 2016.

    The thread title is a canard or just confused. You are actually speaking about Trump.
    Let Trump release the warrant instead feeding his base spin or talking points. The DOJ and a federal judge made there case for the raid.

    Ask Trump to release the warrant. His lawyer have already refused to do this.

    Oh, and I still think Garland is feckless and waited way to long to follow up on clear crimes...

    The thread is exactly right. I expect that Garland will be impeached early next year over this. He is a petty tyrant guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors in the targeting of his political opposition

    Good lord, the "I know what you are but what am I argument" by Trump loyalists. This type of argument left elementary playground, but not with Trump loyalists it appears.

    I haven't seen any evidence that Garland is petty, nor vindictive. His public appearances and statements give me the distinct impression he's a man of the highest integrity and gravitas.

    However, I have seen pettiness in the author's article. But, what is to be expected by Townhall.com?

    They have no idea what evidence exists but their minds are made up. So much insanity out there and not one of them cares why the search [not raid] was done.

    We on the other hand know they must be virtually certain of trump's guilt in a serious crime or they never would have done this.

    And that explains why they are all so insanely pissed. They probably suspect trump has finally been caught. But they don't care what he's done. Trump could shoot someone on 5th Ave and they wouldn't care, according to trump.

    Patricio has the extreme bias and unreliability of "Townhall" covered, but I wanted to point out the following.

    "Consistent one-sided reporting that always favors the right and numerous failed fact checks". :roll:

    XXX strikes again with his ultra-radical evangelical rightie regressive ... (just like every source he cites) ... BULLSHIT!!!

    If the FBI finds nothing and no charges levied against Trump the leftist voters will turn their backs on the Democratic Party. They think Trump is as good as guilty and will be butt hurt angry if he isn't charged. The DNC/Biden may have played their last losing hand before the elections in November. Everything is riding on this raid.

    Patricio ain't got squat covered... about "Townhall" ... he keeps posting the trash that mediabias keeps putting out...

    Media Bias Fact Check Literally is a written opinion site by a man with a ""Communications Degree in college"" Dave Van Zandt

    The flagrant and simplistic nature of these bogus critiques suggests that Media Bias Fact Check is either inept and/or dishonest.
    https://www.justfactsdaily.com/media-bias-fact-check-incompetent-or-dishonest

    Discredited, self-styled ‘fact-checker’ website was served with a ‘cease and desist’ legal notice today for publishing unsubstantiated and defamatory claims against Principia Scientific International (PSI).
    MEDIA BIAS/FACT CHECK site owner admits he is unqualified and misrepresented himself as a seasoned journalist.
    https://climatechangedispatch.com/media-bias-fact-check-site-served-cease-and-desist/

    Media Bias/Fact Check bills itself as "The most comprehensive media bias resource." It's run by Dave Van Zandt, making it fair to say it's run by "some guy" ("Dave studied Communications in college" is his main claim to expertise).
    We have nothing against "some guy" possessing expertise despite a lack of qualifications, of course. One doesn't need a degree or awards (or audience) to be right about stuff. But is Van Zandt and his Media Bias/Fact Check right about PolitiFact?
    https://www.politifactbias.com/2017/10/can-you-trust-what-media-biasfact-check.html

    Media Bias Fact Check Is a Major SCAM to Silence the Right
    https://www.independentsentinel.com/media-bias-fact-checking-scam-silence-right/

    Don't trust Fact checkers, especially not this one. It favors fake news on the left, and to true sites that are not on the mainstream media, it labels as conspiracy theory and junk pseudo science, when the truth is just the opposite. This website is as biased and as full of lies as you get.
    https://www.sitejabber.com/reviews/mediabiasfactcheck.com

    Conservatives have criticized the liberal "fact-checking" website for being subjective and often outright false.[19][20][21] On their "10 Best Fact Checking Sites," they list several objectively false and generally inaccurate left-wing "fact-checkers," including PolitiFact, Snopes, and the Fact Checker by the Washington Post.[22]
    Media Bias Fact Check sources its information from the Anti-Defamation League and the left-wing Southern Poverty Law Center in order to inaccurately label right-wing websites and organizations as "questionable" sources according to Robert Spencer, who wrote to Media Bias/Fact Check's editor describing the attacks on his website, Jihad Watch, as "pure libel," afterward claiming he received no response from the editor.[23]
    https://conservapedia.com/Media_Bias_Fact_Check

    Perhaps the most jarring instance of these scams is a site called “Media Bias Fact Check” which turns out to be just one guy making up whatever he feels like about news outlets, based on what he admits is his personal opinion, while typically providing no evidence – and then altering the ratings of news outlets who point out his scam.
    https://www.palmerreport.com/politics/palmer-report-exclusive-media-bias-fact-check/2115/

    Overall, such fallacious attacks on outsider-opinion represent an effort to strangle social discourse from the top down. In this writer’s opinion, sites like Media Bias Fact Check constitute a desperate retaliatory measure in the wake of the legacy media’s loss of collective attention, and seek to reinforce narrative control in the hands of organizations like the Atlantic Council while smearing reliable sources of scientific journalism like WikiLeaks.
    https://www.investmentwatchblog.com...ikileaks-supports-western-propaganda-machine/

    If Media Bias Fact Check were to be given a rating, they would be “Left” with “Mixed” honesty. Interestingly enough, they don’t rate themselves. Not that it matters, they’d certainly put themselves squarely in the middle as “Least Biased” with “High” ratings for honesty, neither of which are even remotely true

    Nahh, this is just desperate and partisan gas lighting. Trump can simply release the warrant but then he can't fund raise off the gas lighting. You should really try to think for yourself.

    As they grabbed boxes and headed out the door without looking through them there at Largo.. would it not be a coincident if they just happened to "find" some incriminating evidence in the stuff while not under any watchful eyes...... this would not be the first time they have manufactured evidence...

    My prediction... The FBI will strangely find the smoking gun that Trump says was never in his possession.. they will just happen to find it by turning a box upside down and the dead body falls out of the box..

    They created false evidence with the FISA warrants and Papadopoulos ..... they could very well pull it off again... And who is going to DARE contest their findings, like before.

    You’re only butthurt because of your politics. In other words if an AG was going after a former president with a D next to his name you’d be applauding it. If it wasn’t for your double standards you’d have no standards at all.

    Given your willingness to source a hyperpartisan trash heap rag like Townhall, troll-post red baiting crap about 'dems are fascists' and other assorted weasel words, I don't believe you give a crap about much in particular, let alone facts and the truth, that's for certain.

    Townhall lies. He, as a lawyer, represented employees of Epstein, who were, no doubt, victims as well.

    But, in the twisted world of Townhall, He is a perp, but let's ignore his bio and twist the narrative to suit an ultra right wing insane agenda:

    https://www.politico.com/news/2022/08/09/judge-mar-a-lago-epstein-00050739

    Reinhart, who earned his law degree from University of Pennsylvania and also graduated from Princeton, worked for the Treasury Department, the public integrity section of the U.S. Department of Justice, and spent more than 11 years as an assistant United States attorney. During that time he handled more than 100 grand jury investigations including cases involving health care fraud, public corruption and tax fraud, according to a biography of Reinhart posted by the private law firm where he worked for about six years.


    Give me a break.
