the manhattan district attorney. they are two separate systems. however, to your point most of the hearing today was the republicans trying to collapse that those two systems into one and sort of muddy in the minds off voters what is going on. it s something for people who understand these are two separate agreements might not think anything of ntit, but for many people not paying attention, not reading the news every day and people who might not understand these are two separate systems they will be confused and wonder why isn t merrick garland responsible. garland gave really, really firm push back. i think what they re doing is it s not about whether they re being hip clts anymore or saying things that aren t quite accurate, it s trying to control thisit larger conspiracy messag and make it last until the election to keep voters really riled up and get out there to vote. it s a really cynical bet,
at the state level. i believe it was wisconsin the attorney general there today criminallyat charged three trum aides whoed orchestrated that electors plot in their state. that brings indictments in five of thes seven fake elector states arizona, georgia, nevada, michigan, arizona, and wisconsin. we have a federal case on this. donald trump is the named defendant. there are still unindicted coconspirators who haven t yet been named. do you think we re going to get more on that case around january 6th and the fake electors in the coming months? sure. i think we re talking about two different things, both important. on the case the justice department does oversee, the one merrick garland does oversee as attorney general, one is a classified documents case in florida being held c up almost indefinitely as the judge works her way as slowly as i ve seen any judge work her way through a case that is incredibly

still testifying. attorney general garland is not acting like the attorney general of the united states. he s acting like joe biden s personal attorney. well, that s not how it is. okay, so as congressman smith was accusing merrick garland of acting like president biden s personal attorney, merrick garland s justice department was delivering opening arguments in the criminal trial of joe biden s adult son hunter biden. if that is the kind of service you get from your personal attorney, maybe you should get a new personal attorney. for the a record in case your memory has become i don t know untethered to reality, donald trump spent two years complaining thatp his first attorney general, jeff sessions, wasn t acting enough like his personal attorney. then trump fired sessions and hired bill barr, who spent the rest of the trump administration acting a lot like president trump s personal attorney. but according to republicans merrick garland is the one doing the president s bidding.
