Merrick Garland does NOT rule out prosecuting Trump for January 6: AG says he intends to hold 'anyone who was criminally responsible for events surrounding' Capitol riot or who interfered with the transfer of power

2022-07-27

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]

Attorney General Merrick Garland did not rule out prosecuting former President Donald Trump for his role in January 6 in a new interview with NBC's Lester Holt

'We intend to hold everyone, anyone who was criminally responsible for the events surrounding January 6 ... accountable,' Garland said

Holt pointed out to Garland that prosecuting a former president or a potential presidential candidate could 'arguably tear the country apart'

'Do you have to think of things like that?' the NBC Nightly News anchor asked Garland

Garland spoke in vague terms, saying, 'Look, we pursue justice without fear or favor'
That sounds more like red meat for the rubes than an actual plan for action.

#9 Garland holding who is criminally responsible is a real howler. Just look at the Supreme Court protestors at justices' houses. what a Dickweed.

#8 SCOTUS wannabe going after Mr. Trump. Hah.

Criminal behavior + intent defines "criminally responsible."

Good luck with that, Mr. Bouquet.

#6 Trump said a few days ago he would purge Deep State if he got back into the White House. He had a landslide victory stolen from him and Deep State knows he is formidable and now a wounded bear.

#5 I look forward to pulling Garland out of his hide hole after shit goes sideways and giving him the "Saddam" treatment.

#4 Romans prosecuting prior rulers (and supporters) is what got their civil wars going. Go for it.

#3 'We intend to hold everyone, anyone who was criminally responsible for the events surrounding January 6 ... accountable,' Garland said

I look forward to seeing a number of FBI big-wigs held criminally reponsible.

And if you want to go criminal incompetance, how about the host of Democrats that denied Trumps requests for more security.

#2 ...I'm thinking that this is still more threat than likelihood; intended to tell the Base 'If you send us back, we'll indict him."

With just over three months to Election Day, they'd have to be empaneling a grand jury right the heck now to get an indictment before the next Congress takes over in January and scuppers the whole 1/6 effort.
