34. I thought I was done with Garland, but I can't sit back.

Garland investigated a lot those 1st 2 years, took people's phones, then gave them back. let's look at results:

Robert Mueller couldn't go after Trump because he was a sitting president, but Mueller went after the people directly working for Trump.

Mueller indicted or got guilty pleas from:

George Popadopoulas
Paul Manafort
Rick Gates
Michael Flynn
Richard Pinedo
Alex van der Zwaan
Michael Cohen
Roger Stone
Sam Patten

Mueller did this working under the Trump administration. Mueller also teed up evidence for Garland to prosecute Trump for 10 obstruction of justice charges, and individual one, which Garland passed on and Alvin Bragg stepped up.

Merrick Garland convicted Peter Navarro (not sure he would have without the criminal referral from the J6 committee)
Steve Bannon was not working for Trump but Garland did convict him.

Regarding the documents case:

Mark Meadows and Kash Patel helped Trump steal the classified documents, neither one of them was president. Just imagine if Garland had prosecuted those 2 people early on, year 1. Kash Patel may be in prison instead of becoming our next FBI Director. Also if Garland had prosecuted Trump's inner circle early on it would have created a different climate which may have deterred the Supreme Court from intervening.
