I don’t think Garland won’t indict but I do think it’s possible he won’t indict close to an election.
Fuck it, you know the Repubs would.

We are always within two years of an election. When is the right time?
I’m not defending it, just merely saying I don’t trust the people in charge on this one.We are always within two years of an election. When is the right time?
The right time to do the right thing is always now.
For a guy who’s not on a ballot for so much as dogcatcher?I don’t think Garland won’t indict but I do think it’s possible he won’t indict close to an election.

President Biden likes to say there is nothing America cannot do if the country is united and its rival parties are willing to work together.
But with just two months until the midterm elections, Mr. Biden is purposely spending less time hailing the virtues of compromise and more time calling out dangers to democracy — using some of the sharpest and most combative language of his presidency.
He has accused Republicans of embracing “semi-fascism” by paying fealty to former President Donald J. Trump. He has blasted the party for being “full of anger, violence, hate and division.” And he has warned that the danger from Republicans loyal to Mr. Trump went far beyond differences in policy.
“They’re a threat to our very democracy,” he said of a party that he has spent a half-century working with to find common ground. “They refuse to accept the will of the people. They embrace political violence.”
After weeks of internal White House strategy sessions, the president and his aides have devised a confrontational election-season approach that focuses on Mr. Biden’s accomplishments coupled with an aggressive political assault on the G.O.P., including the poll-tested phrase he began using this spring: “ultra-MAGA Republicans.”
Now, with Mr. Trump once again at the center of a criminal investigation, this time over his handling of classified documents, Mr. Biden has seized the moment to press a case that voters cannot risk a return to a party in the thrall of the former president.
As the campaign season becomes more intense, Mr. Biden plans to deliver a prime-time speech on Thursday in Philadelphia in which aides say he will argue that Americans are in the grips of a “battle for the soul of the nation,” returning to a theme he has often used to describe his motivation for becoming a presidential candidate. Recent events have made the speech more urgent for the president, but a Democratic official said Mr. Biden had been thinking of delivering the address since early summer.
“After a successful past couple of months, the president and Democrats have effectively turned this midterm into a choice, when it’s typically a referendum on the party in the White House,” said Stephanie Cutter, a veteran Democratic strategist. “The president now is articulating that choice, pretty damned well and at just the right time.”
I forgot to watch *sigh*
I just watched via PBS. They have a straight feed, no talking heads. Very nice actually.
There are no arguments about the speech from me. Joe called a spade a spade. MAGAs won't like it. Dump will have an aneurysm over it (hopefully). But it needed to be said.
The speech obviously worked because Twitter is a cesspool right now.
I clicked, saw #PedoHitler was trending and immediately noped out.And that is just the corporate media types. Good lord they are not happy...CNN is whining that marines were there and a guy at CBS is upset that the speech was political. (Ron Klain shot him down)
They want their "Dems in Dissaray" headlines so badly they are becoming a clownshow.
