In reply to the discussion: Merrick Garland: "The actions we have taken thus far will not be our last" [View all]Botany
(72,850 posts)That was a very very rough quote of what A.G. Garland said yesterday but the gist of what he said
is spot on. However it showed to me that the DoJ is building its case from the ground up all those little
shits who got into the US Capitol and just walked around will get or have already gotten sentences
that could be backed the facts and the evidence but that those lenient sentences were also based on
their cooperation with the investigation.
BTW one thing that Garland said that has not gotten near enough attention was something like
"follow the money" to hold accountable to those people who backed the violence and it is well
known that TFG used campaign funds to help pay for the 1/6/21 attempted violent coup.
Other funders were the Koch Brothers aka Americans for Prosperity, Ginny Thomas, Sugar Growers
from Florida (they want to keep polluting Florida's water ways), The Mercers, and some heiress of a
California supermarket chain.
