Basically that's what it all about, democracy and upholding it?!! The scum that tried to take it away from us, must be held accountable too?!!
Dear Attorney General Merrick Garland:
You are doubtless familiar with the old adage that, “The wheels of justice may grind slow, but they grind exceedingly fine.” As we watch your Justice Department’s ongoing investigation of the criminal conspiracy that was the Trump White House, many of us can readily vouch for the first half of the axiom. Justice has, indeed, proven slow.
Whether the result will be “exceedingly fine” is the thing we have trouble with.
Eighteen months after Trump’s army stormed the U.S. Capitol in a deadly riot, many of those who served as foot soldiers and cannon fodder have had their day in court. But the leader of the pack and his henchmen are still walking around free. Many observers are eager to see that rectified — and have not been reticent in saying so.
In a press conference Wednesday, you seemed fed up with carping about the perceived timidity and inertia of your department and you. “A central tenet of the rule of law,” you said, “is that we do not do our investigations in public.”
You added that, “We have to hold accountable every person who is criminally responsible for trying to overturn a legitimate election ... in a way filled with integrity and professionalism.”
In other words: Back off and let us do our jobs. Your pique is arguably understandable. But there is something here you may not be grasping.
People are impatient, yes. They demand accountability, yes. But the other factor at play is simply that it’s been a very tough time for the aforementioned rule of law.
