So Merrick Garland was confronted by reporters and they actually asked him some really tough

questions which shocked me. And Merrick, he was kind of dancing around

You know, consider this. This is a man who now serves as Attorney General, who is in charge of the Department

of Justice, that is prosecuting the man who passed him over for a seat on the Supreme Court

I'm not saying he's got any bitterness towards Trump, but I mean I think a lot of people

would if they were in Merrick Garland's position. So it's an interesting position to have him in

Garland, however, he always knows what to say to make it sound benign and like everything's

going normal and according to plan. I want you to listen to what he says and then we'll talk about it

You have an historical image of a former president of the United States

The defendant has been calling your prosecutors names, Republicans in Congress, some of them

have been talking about weaponization of the justice system. When did you find out the special counsel was headed down this track

And why did you choose not to stop him as was in your power

So as you know, I can't talk about the particulars of this or any other ongoing criminal matter

As I said when I appointed Mr. Smith, I did so because it underscores the Justice Department's

commitment to both independence and accountability. Mr. Smith is a veteran career prosecutor

He has assembled a group of experienced and talented prosecutors and agents who share

his commitment to integrity and the rule of law. Any questions about this matter will have to be answered by their filings in court

One quick follow up, Mr. Attorney General. Experts in extremism had feared there would be unrest in Miami this week

Some people are saying it's because the Justice Department has been so assertive in prosecuting

rioters on January 6th that we have not seen a repeat of that violence

Do you agree with that assessment? All I can say is we live in a democracy

These kind of matters are adjudicated through the judicial system. The Justice Department will be vigilant to ensure that there are no threats of violence

or actual violence. Can you give the American public a very clear sense of what exactly your role was in the

indictment process, just so people can understand what that role is? And then secondarily, given the historic and extraordinary nature of the case, explain

to people if you would, why this was the best and most appropriate step that was taken and

why there were no other alternatives? I'm trying to remember the first question. Exactly

Yes, so my role has been completely consistent with the regulations that set forth responsibilities

to the Attorney General under the special counsel regulations. And I followed those regulations

With respect to the second question, this again is asking for particulars and I'm not

going to be able to comment. All of the comments on this will have to come in filings in court

Now you notice Garland never says he didn't know that Trump was going to be prosecuted

He never says that. He was asked when he knew and he didn't answer that

He just kept praising Jack Smith. You know, Jack Smith, who has kind of a shady history when it comes to political donations

him and his family. But there it is. There's Merrick Garland's answers

I think that he could have and should have stepped in here to stop this prosecution

It's so, it just feels so politicized to so many people and I don't see it doing anything

other than causing great damage to our republic. I want to know what you guys think about what Garland said, so please let me know in the comments

Also, make sure you like, share and subscribe. That stuff really helps us out
