Mitch McTurtle may have gotten a little too cute this time. Yesterday, the odious Majority Leader praised American Hero Merrick Garland and recommended him to be the next FBI Director. We should never forget that Mitch and his cabal treated Garland like trash on the sidewalk, refusing to even meet with him after his SCOTUS nomination. For Mitch to sing Garland’s praises just a few weeks after Scalia Jr. plopped down in Garland’s stolen seat takes a lot of gall. Of course, Judge Garland is not an idiot and declined a job on the SS Trumptanic which is taking on water as we speak. BUT…
Merrick Garland would be the perfect choice for special prosecutor to investigate Trump’s shenanigans. After all, even Mitch McConnell noted Garland’s outstanding prosecutorial work bringing the Oklahoma City bomber (and the Unibomber) to justice. Judge Garland, as Mitch said, is an “apolitical professional” with a “deep background in criminal law.” Who better to pursue the investigation into Pr*sident Trump? And best of all, Garland can take a leave of absence and return to his seat on the DC Court of Appeals after taking out the trash. So whatya say, Mitch?
As the Comey memo turns up pressure on Republicans to name a special prosecutor, contact your representatives and recommend Merrick Garland.
