That an AG may do something doesn’t mean it should be done.What exactly is Garland supposed to ‘do’ about it?I remain "hopeful" that AG Garland is doing much more behind the scenes than we know about or has been reported by mainstream media. So far it looks pitiful...
No current administration is going to investigate its predecessor pursuant to criminal charges – that would establish a dangerous, and unwanted, precedent.
Moreover, one of the most fundamental of our democratic institutions is that the president in power doesn’t use the authority of the state to subject his political opponents to criminal prosecution – that’s the act of despots and dictators in banana republics; which is why Trump’s call to ‘lock up’ Clinton was so utterly reprehensible and wrong, one of many examples of Trump’s contempt for our democratic institutions.
I have general respect for your opinions and posts - but I totally disagree with you on this! Totally! There are many things AG Garland can do within the Constitution.
