Hey, what’s going on with U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland, who’s signed a memo declaring that any indictment of a president or former president running for the same office must be signed off by the AG himself?
Garland has revived a Donald Trump administration policy, which brings me to why this is significant now.
Donald Trump — the twice-impeached and defeated former POTUS — is dropping hints of running again in 2024. Think of the campaign slogan he could use.
Vote for me, ’cause it’ll keep me out of prison.
Trump well might be indicted for various felonies against the government connected to the 1/6 insurrection and attack on the Capitol as officials were counting 2020 election Electoral College ballots certifying Joe Biden the winner over … yep, Donald Trump.
Garland’s memo seems to suggest to some observers to signal a reluctance to indict Trump for anything prior to the midterm election this fall.
Trump might decide to run for POTUS prior to the midterm election.
Yeah, it’s going to muddy up a lot of things.
Personally, I do not believe he’ll be nominated. Also, I do believe that Garland will have enough to prosecute Trump for something, although I dare not predict what that would be.
This disgraceful excuse for a politician — Trump — is trying to work every angle he can to keep his sorry backside out of the slammer.
