Just thinking ……. Merrick Garland should retire
It appears that Merrick Garland, the Attorney General and head of the Department of Justice, may not even indict Trump for his many crimes. Garland is a nice person but is not fit to be Attorney General at this critical time in the history of our country. Biden should politely fire him and wish him well and then propose Andrew Weissmann to replace him. Weissman was the Assistant US Attorney for the Eastern District of New York from 1991 to 2002. In this position he prosecuted and convicted the Mafiosos, Genovese, Colombo, Gambin and Gigante. He was then appointed by G.W. Bush to be director of the task force investigating the Enron Scandal. In that role, Weissmann prosecuted and convicted more than 30 people including Enron’s top executives. In 2011 he became General Counsel under Mueller of the FBI, and in 2015-2017 he headed the criminal fraud section at the Department of Justice, and in 2017 was appointed special counsel under Mueller investigating Russian Interference in the Trump White House. Weissmann has a reputation of being the “pit bull” of prosecutors and is exactly the type of person to prosecute Trump for the variety of crimes he has probably committed.
It is likely that the Republican Senators will not vote to hire Weissmann in that position, but Biden could always appoint him as “Acting Attorney General”.
Just thinking....
