who s also claimed government chemicals in the water a quote, turning the frogs gave. these are the fellow travelers of the american right anti-democracy, anti-reality, pro insurrection movement. and here s what s so scary. they re much stronger as a movement than they were even in january. amid all of this, lots of people are asking, where attorney general merrick garland s. most of the january six participants card charge by the feds have gotten lenient sentences, and only one witness has been charged for refusing to car break with the january 6th panel. there may be stuff going on behind the scenes at the doj, but why not more public action, to? why not for example a special counsel. if the threat to democracy is as grave as democrats say, if that failed coup in january was merely a dress rehearsal for what republicans seem to want, why isn t this attorney general doing more to address it? to answer that and a whole lot more, let s talk to a democratic lawyer who s running for a key
