This is just an Author's opinion.....but just so incorrect:

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.

Nothing incorrect about it. I think it sums up Garland's predicament perfectly.

OMOLIVES, Still you used it. To the bits you picked there. The first

"

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.

Yeah.....that never would have happened given the fact that most see all of this as a political
judicial attack, so don't think for a second that those cats were going to think differently."

Forget that it was never going to happen. Seems you missed the author's point there, that the wrongheaded view
gave Trump a free ride there. It was there as one example of where the GOP let Trump off the hook. Same for:

"

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.

That is a complete false."

Says you. haven't seen the anything like the immunity decision
before.And most experts i guess disagree with you on that.

"Further:

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

That is utter nonsense. The Department of Justice has held that stance
forever...and the Supreme Court was then forced to decide ..and they did:

Disagree. McConnell's break all tradition crook stacking of the court gave Trump a gift there.
You really either missed the author's point or you are ignoring it with a nonsense deflection.

Your opinion on that am guessing would be a minority one from a bench of say 30 experts.
