President Biden had a message for Attorney General Merrick Garland. Three New York Times reporters dutifully conveyed the message to Garland in April 2022, just in case he hadn’t grokked it already:
The attorney general’s deliberative approach has come to frustrate Democratic allies of the White House and, at times, President Biden himself. As recently as late last year, Mr. Biden confided to his inner circle that he believed former President Donald J. Trump was a threat to democracy and should be prosecuted, according to two people familiar with his comments. And while the president has never communicated his frustrations directly to Mr. Garland, he has said privately that he wanted Mr. Garland to act less like a ponderous judge and more like a prosecutor who is willing to take decisive action over the events of Jan. 6.
Biden wanted to wage a campaign of lawfare against Trump and, as we all know, Garland obliged. The following November Garland appointed Krazee-Eyez Killa Jack Smith as special counsel in the January 6 and classified documents investigations. Indictments followed in June 2023 (the documents case) and August 2023 (the January 6 case).
Given Trump’s election as president and related Department of Justice policy against the prosecution of sitting presidents, Smith moved to dismiss the two cases without prejudice (meaning the cases could theoretically be refiled once Trump leaves office if not barred by the applicable statutes of limitations or obviated by a pardon). These cases are over.
They tried every which way but violence to break Trump and in the event they elicited the attempted assassinations. Yet Trump persisted and prevailed. Krazee-Eyez is on his way out the door, leaving ahead of the once and future sheriff. What a sorry chapter Biden, Garland, Smith, and their boosters among the Democrat/media blob have written in our nation’s history.
