Let's play what if. What if Preet Bahrara was AG ?

[Ocelot II]

1. He's not, so what would the point of that be?

[Funtatlaguy]

3. It's better than just wishing Garland wasn't.

I think there would already be some kind of indictment against Trump.

12. The point of thinking of "Things that make me happy"

Some good Democrats are not happy with the appearance of wanting to be "fair" to a fault.

[brooklynite]

2. At some point the blogosphere would complain that he wasn't moving fast enough.

6. NO DOUBT

[Mad_Machine76]

4. He might not be able to pursue charges against Trump at all

Republicans and Trump and probably their lawyers would claim retribution from being fired by Trump in response to any hypothetical charges?

[Elessar Zappa]

5. People would be bitching about him too.

[GoCubsGo]

13. Yep. Probably the same ones.

7. Meh, let's not get excited,

we don't know what we don't know that Garland is or isn't doing. Let's give him (Jack Smith) another 4 or 5 months. Oh wait we do know what Smith is doing, we even know who he is sending subpoenas to. That Jack Smith must be a real leaker?

8. All I know is the orange turd tried to ovethrow...

the government a year ago, stole hundreds of classified docs and in two years nothing has happened him.

Well, the NY AG has successfully gotten results against his company, and the Atlanta DA looks like she's poised to move against him, but so far it's a turtle's pace from the DOJ against trump. But They're jackrabbit quick against Biden.

10. Are you

aware the NY investigation went on for over 2 and a half years? The investigation started in March 2020 and finally got to trial October 2022. That was the DA civil case. The Manhattan case is still out there. What were you saying again about the DOJ?

[brush]

11. So I was comparing the time it took to appoint a special...

counsel to each case, but now that you've mentioned a timeline, how long was it in the NY investigation before Bragg moved to not move against trump as his two lead prosecutors recommended?

[CharleyDog]

9. just one thing, though, Preet Bahrara is a better communicator

and when we're left dangling AGAIN after (surely Garland must know) the Robert Mueller fiasco, the silence, the
hope, the failure, the poor testimony that left people wondering about his mental status. Mueller was (we all were) broadsided by Bill Barr/the Republicans.

We got to know Preet from his appearances on tee vee, explaining legal situations at the time, he seemed approachable, reliable, straight-forward, firm on the "law applies to everyone."

I realize the DOJ wants to work in silent/secret, but if we just get clues from Garlands actions - they say "fear of Republicans."

[Skittles]

14. we'd certianly know more what the FUCK is going on

I absolutely believe THAT
