The right won't be appeased. Should Garland have taken the responsibility himself?
Was appointing a Special Counsel for Trump the right thing to do?

It is an old school approach, preTrump era, when appointing a third party meant an outside nonpartisan review. Theoretically, it still does, but it is not applicable today, if it were possible and Garland appointed Mother Theresa special council the right would immediately portray her as biased and the effort totally political, hell they even said the same thing when Trump’s own hand pick assistant AG appointed Mueller.
On the stolen top secret documents I kinda think so… bite the Bulleit and indict him. It’s not a questionable case.
The insurrection case is questionable, it’s a harder case. On a judgement call the SP is reasonable.

Trump clearly committed sedition.
I think so, but from the facts I know now, because of the free, speech, implications, I think it’s a judgment call.

to eliminate doubts about the politics, yes, it was a good move.
I doubt Garland thought they would, or cared much either way. He made the decision based on what he thought best for the integrity of the investigation. Garland is as apolitical as Barr was and still is political.
Yes, appointing the Special Counsel was the right thing to do.
Yes, the right won't be appeased. Fuck them.
Garland has the responsibility no matter what. He will accept it.

How does free speech have anything to do with the fact Trump organized the coup?
Garland is not political.Hhe is not expounding about anything, unlike Barr.
Part of the evidence that he was involved in the planning is his public speech

Free speech is irrelevant.
Why?

Trump organized the coup. He told an armed mob to march to the Capitol. He then watched the violence and refused to call the National Guard. Absolutely nothing about free speech.
How did he organize it?
I agree that he is guilty, but I see evidentiary issues with hearsay and free speech, based on the evidence I know about.

I have no idea what free speech has to do with it.
It’s not illegal to give a political speech, so if the evidence is based on that, there are some difficulties prosecuting.
