Mr. Milquetoast Merrick Garland Had Damn Well Better Release Jack Smith's Report

Not happening.

There's no reason for Garland to not release the report.

He released the special counsel report on the investigation into Biden's retention of classified documents, and he did it so quickly, he left behind a dust trail.

It's almost as if Trump has something to hide.

The report outlines how the Trump campaign recruited and paid for travel and hotels for the Jan 6th rioters among other things.

You can contact the DOJ and demand that Garland release the report.

There's only 14 days left. Good luck with getting Garland to do a proper thing in his last 2 weeks.

The federal judge overseeing President-elect Donald Trump's now-dismissed case related to classified documents in Florida has temporarily blocked the Justice Department from releasing a report prepared by special counsel Jack Smith.

Judge Aileen Cannon issued an order on Tuesday preventing the Justice Department from releasing the report while a legal battle plays out. Prosecutors said in an earlier filing that the two-volume document could be released as early as Friday, pending a decision by Attorney General Merrick Garland.

How does a federal judge have jurisdiction to block the DOJ from releasing anything? Wouldn't Garland as AG have jurisdiction over her?

Leak the report in its entirety and let the chips fall where they may.

What have we got to lose??

Let's not be too hasty, now.

Business as usual for MAGA Merrick Garland: Protect Trump at all costs.

R7 That fucking cunt.

I HATE AILEEN CANNON!!!

R13 I'd pay good money to see that bitch fed to the alligators in an Everglades swamp.

Cannon needs to be kicked in her cunt bone so hard, that the shock waves would be felt worldwide. She'll get hers, that trumpie MAGA twat.

Grow a fucking pair grandpa Garland, and do the right thing!

That report is coming out come hell or high water. Can't wait. Good times ahead.

[quote]I HATE AILEEN CANNON!!!

Is that a way to talk about our next Supreme Court Justice?

I would definitely do Jack Smith.

Even if the report is released, the media will barely pay attention to it.

Still, it's important for it to be released. It's an historical document that will serve as a shameful reminder to future generations (if we're not destroyed under Trump) of the grave mistake America made in putting this fucking criminal into office not once, but twice.

R17 I HATE THE SUPREME COURT!

Fair enough, R20!

I highly disagree R19.

Trump will be POTUS before it's released.

[quote]Trump will be POTUS before it's released.

If he's president, it won't be released. We can only hope for leaks.

R23 He's going to be POTUS, regardless. But the public has a right to know all the details of that fat ass' criminality.

That cunt never deserved to be a judge in the first place.

From CNN:

"Cannon’s lack of trial experience, both as a lawyer and a judge, is apparent. In her seven years as a Justice Department attorney, Cannon participated on the trial teams of just four criminal cases. "

All these "leaders" running scared.

They can kill us, but they cannot eat us!

RESIST!

Just wait, that smug cunt will get her SCOTUS appointment when Uncle Clarence retires in a few months.

I'm sure this will concern Susan Collins.

R28 Susan will be at Brow Furrow Level 1.

"We must try to put aside our differences and reach across the aisle in a spirit of unity..."

[quote] How does a federal judge have jurisdiction to block the DOJ from releasing anything? Wouldn't Garland as AG have jurisdiction over her?

No. But he can certainly defy the court, particularly since the matter is likely to be dismissed and no longer subject to federal court jurisdiction. If that happens the executive branch could independently decide to release it. Garland won't do it without a pardon from Biden.

What would you rather he do, R30? Roll over and let Trump just have his way without first trying to do the right thing?

Fucking Merrick Garland.

As useless as tits on a nun.

The people that care about this already hate Trump. It’s not going to change minds or create much news. But for the record, releasing it is a good idea. This is the definition of yesterday’s news.

R34 We know the MAGA idiots will never read it (mainly because they can't read).

But it needs to be a public historical document.

And to me, it will NEVER be yesterday's news. It will ALWAYS be the most shameful moment in our nation's modern history.

r34 not if what people are saying is in it. Especially about Jan 6th. He will deny it of course but there is some very damming things in there.

I'm with you, R35.

There’s nothing in it so damning it will change much. If I’m wrong, great. But if two imoeachments multiple trials didn’t hurt Trump, this won’t either. I agree it should be released.

[quote] There’s nothing in it so damning it will change much.

Yeah, not much going on there. Only the attempted overthrow of our democracy, the theft of classified documents, and an attempt to interfere with the lawful results of a free and fair election.

Nothing to see here folks.

Jesus. Fucking. Christ. This is why we're stuck with this assfart for a second term.

I'm thankful Obama didn't get his way with Merrick getting a lifetime SCOTUS spot. This way, he's only screwed America over for four years while gaslighting us about there only being one tier of justice. I can't imagine hearing his raspy voice doing so for 25+ years from the highest bench in the US.

R40 If he had been on the Court and away from the DOJ, we may have had an attorney general who actually had a sense of urgency and would have taken action to ensure Trump would be sitting in a prison cell now and not in the White House again.

Payola.

A sheep in sheep's clothing.

Also, R40, the right-wing of SCOTUS will be screwing us for decades to come. Is that not worse than having an ineffectual but liberal justice? Yes, it is.

There is evidence of sedition in there and that is grounds for removal as POTUS.

[quote] I'm thankful Obama didn't get his way with Merrick getting a lifetime SCOTUS spot.

You do realize, R40, that Obama "not getting his way" (which was an outrageous act by McConnell to prevent any liberal justice from being appointed) helped pave the way for the imbalance in the Court that will do more damage to us over many years than anything else? It's one thing to decry Garland as AG, but to wish a liberal wasn't appointed, considering who's sitting on SCOTUS now, is just asinine.

You tell 'em, Liz!

Liz has bigger balls than Garland.

That shameless whore Cannon shows her partisan cunt flaps again. It will be interesting to see how high this turd rises in the coming cesspool.

Well, R49, there is talk that Alito is not long for the job.

Judge Aileen Cannon Orders Merrick Garland NOT TO RELEASE Jack Smith Report About Trump's Crimes

[quote]Liz has bigger balls than Garland. (R48).

And a formidable Dick, too.

I said it before and I'll say it again: "Don't discount Dick Cheney when it comes to vengeance."

Maybe someone internal will leak it. Here’s hoping.

[quote]And a formidable Dick, too.

Cannon is going to get neutered yet again, by her poorly thought out, obviously partisan, erroneous decision. I just listened to legal eagles, Jill Wine-Banks (love her), and DL fave, Andrew Weissman.

Fine with me. Let the 11th circuit eviscerate her once again, and err, hold on a minute, let me find my one ball GARLAND, just release the fucking reports already. Both volumes.

How many more (lifetime appointee) Aileen Cannons will be populating the bench in the next four years … and beyond?

I'm assuming Dick Cheney no longer has any friends or blackmailed associates in any kind of power to harm Trump anymore.

Apparently not, r57.

President Biden should have let Garland go early on and made Jack Smith an offer he couldn't refuse.

Trump might put Garland on the SC as an "olive branch" to dems &

as a thank you for helping him get back into the WH.

R60 Not a chance. While Garland was a huge, ineffective pussy when it came to prosecuting Trump, he never intervened to stop the investigations, and Trump cannot stand people who aren't 100% loyal to him.

Moreover, Trump is a loathsome piece of shit who doesn't understand the concept of extending olive branches. He's a vindictive, resentful, retaliatory man child.

Where do people like R60 come up with this shit?

R62 It's because of people like R60 that we have this shitstain coming back to the White House.

If I was Smith I would be disgusted af at Garland. He and his family will be targeted for death threats by crazy MAGAts forever now. Because "two tiers".

Can the report be subject to a Freedom of Information Act request from journalists?

From the Associated Press:

[quote] The Justice Department said Wednesday that it will release special counsel Jack Smith’s findings on Donald Trump’s efforts to undo the results of the 2020 presidential election but will keep under wraps for now the rest of the record focused on the president-elect's hoarding of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate.

[quote]The revelation was made in a filing to a federal appeals court that was considering a defense request to block the release of the two-volume report while charges remain pending against two Trump co-defendants in the Florida case accusing the Republican former president and current president-elect of illegally holding classified documents. Aileen Cannon, the Trump-appointed judge presiding over the classified documents case, granted the request Tuesday, issuing a temporary block on the report.

[quote]The Justice Department said it would proceed with plans to release the first of two volumes centered on the election interference case but would make the classified documents section of the report available only to the chairmen and ranking members of the House and Senate Judiciary Committees for their private review as long as the case against Trump's co-defendants is ongoing.

[quote]“This limited disclosure will further the public interest in keeping congressional leadership apprised of a significant matter within the Department while safeguarding defendants’ interests,” the filing said.

Thanks, Merrick. An announcement will give Trump time to try to block it. Just release the damn thing to the media.

R67 That is just what I was thinking.
