"Trump has praised Merrick Garland and praised the 20 GOP Senators who confirmed Garland. This is not ironic praise, much like it was not ironic when he praised Nancy Pelosi and pushed for her to be Speaker." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/merrick-…
"Trump is dealing with his own sadistic narcissism, pushing boundaries as far as they go. But because there's no give, there's no pushback, there's no challenge, he has to amp it up by confessing his crimes and then naming who is refusing to investigate them."
"Trump confessed to obstruction of justice once on national TV in 2017, and no one held him accountable. So he confessed to it again in 2021, and again, no one held him accountable. For a normal DOJ, this would be evidence. But Merrick Garland looks the other way."
"Trump's inability to resist flaunting his impunity prompts him to name and praise Democrats and journalists who are on his side, who act as controlled opposition. In every case, unfortunately, he has been correct." patreon.com/posts/merrick-…

If you critique Garland on Twitter, you will be harassed by a troll bot farm reciting identical talking points. Their latest talking point is that Merrick Garland heroically investigated the Oklahoma City bombing.

This is a myth. patreon.com/posts/merrick-…
The myth of Garland and Oklahoma City was spurred by mainstream media pieces released in unison upon his nominations in 2016 and 2021, nearly all relying on quotes from his corrupt Big Law mentor, Jamie Gorelick
Who is Jamie Gorelick? She was Garland's DOJ mentor. She has also been:
1) Jared and Ivanka's lawyer
2) Oil spill corporate defender
3) Big Tech defender
4) Profiteer over student loan crimes
5) Alan Dershowitz's protege
And more. THREAD on Gorelick:

"Merrick Garland's Jan 5 speech both-sides the coup. He stated there is political violence on both sides whereas experts have long said white supremacist terrorism is the most dangerous terrorist threat the US faces." -- @AndreaChalupa on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/merrick-…
"It's very clear that the political violence and determination to turn our democracy into an authoritarian prison is overwhelmingly coming from one side, a danger that Garland did not acknowledge." -- @AndreaChalupa on @gaslitnation
"Garland claims he does not have an agenda while he funds witch-hunt investigations like the Durham probe and refuses to consult the Mueller Report and its documentation of multiple cases of obstruction of justice. Garland and the DOJ have a right-wing agenda." -- @gaslitnation

There is an extra @gaslitnation episode this week. @AndreaChalupa and I released the episode from Jan 6, 2021, that we taped right after the Capitol attack. This is our instant reaction, no longer paywalled: patreon.com/posts/our-janu…
“The most dangerous people in America right now are the ones telling you to move on.” —@AndreaChalupa, January 7, 2021 patreon.com/posts/our-janu…
“There is a giant propaganda operation right now telling you that everything is fine, you just need to wait it out, you just need to watch our ‘great leaders’ play 3D chess...” — me on January 7, 2021 patreon.com/posts/our-janu…

"Bernard Kerik surfaced in the Trump admin at a press conference in August 2020, standing next to Giuliani’s son, Andrew, who worked for Trump -- part of the broad nepotism which included hiring Bill Barr's children, installing Ivanka and Jared, etc..." patreon.com/posts/mob-ment…
"Kerik is a convicted felon who was pardoned by Trump in 2020. He is an object lesson on why Congress should have taken Trump's abuse of the pardon power very seriously. Kerik, Stone, Flynn, Bannon and others were pardoned -- and then attempted a violent coup."
"Kerik is a Giuliani crime crony who served as NYPD police commissioner in the year before 9/11. Kerik was indicted after accepting a $250K bribe from an Israeli billionaire while serving as 'Interior Minister of Iraq' after Bush's invasion in 2003." patreon.com/posts/mob-ment…

In this week's @gaslitnation, we pay tribute to Harry Reid and his attempt to tell the truth about Trump, Russia, and FBI corruption in real time -- *before* the 2016 election. Here is a thread of Reid's 2016 letters to Comey, which Comey ignored.
"In an era of rising autocracy, it is crucial to remember who knew what and when – and who was willing to tell you in real time." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/mob-ment…
"Harry Reid was, to my knowledge, the ONLY elected official in office to do their job regarding election security in 2016. He was Senate Minority Leader at the time, but the rest of his caucus failed to match his assertiveness."
