By delaying any investigation or prosecution of Trump until almost two years after he became attorney general, Garland hamstrung Jack Smith, the dogged and beleaguered special counsel, leaving little time for the predictable unpredictabilities of two high-stakes prosecutions. Both were as solid as federal cases get, and now neither has any chance of being completed before the election, leaving voters without clear legal conclusions about Trump’s responsibility for the Jan. 6 riot and the highly classified documents he took from the White House.

    What kind of Democrat does it take to get elected senator in Alabama?

    One who was running against Roy Moore, the predator who would sexually assault teenage girls he met at the mall. We’re talking a guy in his 30s who would hit on teenagers at Sears.

    That said, yeah, Garland was a shit choice and Jones probably isn’t the best either, but the staunchest legal attack dog in the Democratic Party I know of is, well, currently running for president.
