It's fine to appear (and be) impartial, but not by not doing your job. Also, Garland appears very partial towards Trump here.
Agreed that it is a waste of time!
He, and all of the current admin, just seem entirely terrified of the right and what they'll do.
And for good reason. These people literally tried to overthrow the government. The right wants to kill everyone who does not agree with them at this point.
But the cowardice will only be met with further aggression.
Also the charges brought against hunter… that he’s pleading out of- are seeing sentencing deals that are much stronger than what almost anyone else would have seen, without pleading out
Edit: to clarify, garland approved the ask, and had elected to leave the trump era prosecutor on it
