I’ve seen comments on taking him out of context in the federal courthouse attacks in Portland and its dumb. He clearly stated they were both crimes but wasn’t fully sure the domestic terrorism statute applied to Portland. Which is being taken out of context as it’s ok if they attack at night.Merrick Garland isn't doing bad in his hearing. He's probably the most neutral nominee Biden picked even though the only reason he did so was to poke the GOP in the eye.
There was a bombing? True amateur hour stuff
So there wasn't any bombing?Garland was referring to the investigation into the identity of the person responsible for the two pipe bombs which were believed to have been planted the night before January 6th near the U.S. Capitol. That becomes apparent if you listen to the whole hearing rather than trying to play a "gotcha game" with a sound bite.
Yeah, I'm sure that's the only reason why Biden picked him. ^^^^ This is an example of applying a simple-minded Trump rationale, to someone who isn't Trump.Merrick Garland isn't doing bad in his hearing.

Yeah I’ve got no desire to listen to that clown or any other nominated by this group. Attempted isn’t the same as a bombing and if it comes out it was BLM or antifa the investigation will go away quietlyThere was an attempted bombing with two pipe bombs planted. If you listened to the hearing, rather than just a sound bite, that is made clear. There is an ongoing investigation into the identity of the person responsible.
There is a lot wrong with this... There is no way that Garland was ever under consideration for AG under Trump. I doubt very seriously that Biden's handlers care about poking anyone in the eye. That is more in line with the acuity of the previous administration.Considering the other nominations he's picked so far (Sally Yates being one of many) that's probably not far from the truth. His picks have been less than stellar and Garland isn't a bad choice.
Chances are, Biden's handlers thought it would be a poke in the eye because of the way he was treated in 2016. Forgetting he was actually under consideration for the same post under Trump that eventually went to Sessions.
Trump probably should have picked Garland.
If you would have a problem with Garland as AG... and call him a clown. Then you are strictly tribal and would say the same things about anyone a Democrat nominated.Yeah I’ve got no desire to listen to that clown or any other nominated by this group.
