Start with Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans in 2021. They could — and should — have voted to convict Trump after his second impeachment, which would have prevented him from running again for the presidency. Instead, McConnell and almost every other GOP senator let him off the hook.
Last but most certainly not least: The Republican appointees on the Supreme Court bailed Trump out this year — in the heart of the general election campaign and when it mattered most.
They first slow-walked Trump’s appeal on immunity grounds this year and then created a new doctrine of criminal immunity for Trump that had no real basis in the law
Garland is a serious, well-intentioned and complex figure. But given all this, he may go down as one of the worst and most broadly unpopular attorney generals in American history — hated by the anti-Trump part of the country for failing to bring Trump to justice, and hated by the pro-Trump part of the country for pursuing Trump at all. I sincerely hope he provides a first-hand accounting of what happened after he too leaves office next year.
SARAH KENDZIOR: Yes, this is a tremendous failure and you’re one of the few hosts who allow me to speak about it in public. There is a tremendous effort to lie about what Merrick Garland was doing to make up all these stories, that he was secretly fixing things behind the scenes. But that was not happening. It was not going to happen.
And that was very clear from the start, because Merrick Garland was installed by people deeply tied to Jared Kushner. He was installed by Jared Kushner’s lawyer, who is his lifelong mentor. That’s a woman named Jamie Gorelick. So already I was wary when he came in. I thought maybe the gravity of the situation would cause him to do the right thing.
