Has Garland got the slows?
There is widespread speculation that THE case may be about to break. The Justice Department announced it will hire 131 lawyers specifically to deal with the January 6, 2021, insurrection. After more than a year someone besides the QAnon Shaman may face actual punishment. On the other hand, Merrick Garland may be the George McClellan of attorneys general. McClellan would never take the field until he had a significant advantage in men and materiel, and even then he was rarely effective. "McClellan has got the slows," remarked his frustrated commander-in-chief. Eventually Lincoln's patience ran out and he replaced McClellan with Ambrose Burnside. There have been suggestions for replacing Garland, including Preet Bharara and Jamie Raskin, but this is no time for the confirmation cha-cha.
We must hope that General Garland is ready to attack, and I'm not talking about "Please, sir, could you come to the US courthouse for arraignment if you have time, possibly?" Too late.
Here's what I want: a pre-dawn arrest, the FBI barging into his trash-palace before he has time for hair and makeup. When the Trumpanzees wake up and turn on the television I want them to see their messiah as he really is, a fat, bald, blotchy old man with no dentures, crying in his handcuffs. In the doorway Hope Hicks in a nightgown wails, "Don't take him away, he's a good man, he didn't mean to overthrow the government." I want the ultimate episode of Cops. If Hicks is not available, Liz Harrington will do, but no more concessions.
