He is wrong. In this instance, he is talking off the top of his head. He didn't look closely.
Why do people follow me just to argue with me?
Read what I wrote and use your own brains.
You all have your own brains, right?
Democracy requires an electorate that can THINK.

Fox viewers believe whatever they are told when they turn on their televisions. Don't be like that.
Holder offered an opinion. He offered no facts to back up what he said.
I offer facts. Lots of them.
Try this. It will not hurt you. Read this page:

In 2021 and 2022 when I said, "I see what the DOJ is doing and Trump will be indicted."
You all mocked me and called me an optimist.
Nope. I am NOT an optimist. I looked at the facts and saw what was happening.
Want proof that I am not an optimist?
Here is proof. . .

I am starting to believe that democracy will not work.
Democracy requires an educated electorate. Democracy requires people able to think for themselves.
Plato didn't think democracy would work because he didn't think people lacked the capacity to think about policy issues.

What I see on Twitter is tens of thousands of people who don't want to read or think.
They want to turn on the television and say, "Eric Holder said this so it must be true."
You laugh at the people who turn on Fox and believe whatever they are told.

Yes, I am having a meltdown. You can watch me meltdown in real time.
I had a person on Twitter yesterday absolutely refuse to read the page I gave him. He just refused. And kept telling me I was wrong.

In 2021 and 2022 when Twitter was acting like a mob with pitchforks demanding that Merrick Garland be fired, I wondered what you all would say.
Do you want to see the screenshots of famous people saying Trump would NEVER be indicted because Garland wasn't up to the task?

I saved them.
I wondered what those same people would say when in fact, under Garland's watch, Trump would be indicted.
Do they say, "Well looks like we were wrong?"
Nope. They say, "We weren't wrong. Garland did nothing for a year."

There are facts proving them wrong, but they don't see the facts.
Do you want to know why they don't see them?
Because we are in an information disruption. There is too much irrelevant information and not enough facts.

We are under an avalanche of opinions, speculation, talking heads on cable shooting the breeze, conspiracy theories, and conjecture.
The facts get lost.
In the old days, people read their newspaper once or maybe twice each day.

They were presented facts in the evening news.
But you know what? Facts are boring. (Walter Cronkite was boring.)
In this click-driven world, news has become entertainment.
Facts are not entertaining. So instead of being given facts about what the DOJ was doing. . .

. . . they were given opinions.
But nobody remembers anymore what those opinions were in 2021.
I remember because I had a private argument with someone with a big account here who you all know.

This is a person who regularly appears on TV.
This person was furious at Merrick Garland for not "reassuring the public" that in fact he was investigating Trump.
I showed this person what Garland had said and the DOJ rules for why Garland could not offer that reassurance.

We were not friends after that :)
People were mad at Garland because of the way. he went about the investigation.
They wanted him to break a few rules. They wanted him to act like a tough guy.
Why?
My opinion: Because Trump taught everyone to like tough guys.

Merrick Garland did it his way. He did it the rule-of-law way.
Instead of saying, "Well I guess Teri was right. Garland was going to get here after all" they make up a stupid theory that an investigation this complex could have been done in half the time.

Can democracy survive in America?
I have my doubts.
If anyone wants to read and think, go to my blog, find the tab that says "criminal investigations" and start reading.
Read it all and tell me where I was wrong.
If you have questions, ask them on my blog.

This platform is going down the tubes and is a big part of the problem.
Whenever I come back here I lose any hope that democracy can survive.
You can find me with the smart people on Mastodon.
And now I will get my morning coffee.
