On the recordJanuary 4, 2022
I think Merrick Garland has been extremely weak. And I think there should be a lot more of the organizers of January six that should be arrested by now. We have a very obstructionist Republican Party that should be part of, helping us decide how to save democracy instead of trying to cover up for their crimes. And you have again an Attorney General, who is, you know, feckless, and has not been helpful in terms of preserving our democracy.
