'Step it up or step out': Dem lawmaker gives Merrick Garland ultimatum on prosecuting Trump officials

Merrick is soft pedaling his most important task! You're not a judge anymore, act like a prosecutor!

Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) on Sunday issued an ultimatum to Attorney General Merrick Garland.

While appearing on CNN, Gallego demanded that the attorney general do more to prosecute Trump officials who tried to pressure Vice President Mike Pence and election officials across the country to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.

"Look, either Merrick Garland steps it up or needs to step out," he said. "The attorney general of the United States, the most important thing is to protect the Constitution of the United States. He's failing now because he wants to stick to some norms. There is no norms when there's an almost-coup of this country!"

Dems. can't run on the economy, foreign policy, or even that they've improved the lives of everyday Americans, so they have to deflect by focusing on Trump.

just as soon as deplorables get over him, so will we.

Sure they can, just as soon as Republicans decide their constitutes are the voters who put them in office, not either the corrupt/criminal/treasonous/racist/neo-Nazi/rapist/congenital lying/piss poor businessman/scam artist Donald Trump, or single-issue, personal-profit-driven Big Time Lobbyists.

The sham Trump "administration" never had a country-maintaining/progressing program at all (when exactly was infrastructure week?). The Biden administration actually has one but it's been stonewalled by the Republicans.

They certainly could argue that all but two of them have been trying to improve the lives of everyday Americans, while the Republicans have been in lockstep against any such efforts.

I guess it is important he should prosecute any Trump official on which he can find anything, which he should try to do.

We're talking about what the Attorney General, who is not responsible for any of those things, should be doing.

Would be really nice for improving everyday American lives if the Pubs would collectively admit and rubber stamp as a party that Cheeto lost and that it's way past time to move on instead of staying mum and letting discord shit fester hoping it will work in their favor.

they did this same playbook move with the bullshit over Obama's birth certificate. tell the class how that turned out.

For over 4 years, Democrats have called Trump a criminal. All kinds of nonsensical accusations have been leveled by partisans such as Adam Schiff’s, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and a cadre of media hacks. Russian collusion, inciting an insurrection, and other bat shit crazy stuff. Each day that Garland does nothing to file charges adds to the body of evidence that these partisan accusations of criminal activities are absurd. Garland’s vindication of President Trump has certainly annoyed some Democrats.

Each day that Garland does not indite and arrest Lumpy for sedition just proves that Dems are not serious about protecting our democracy. Just Lumpy's public speech is enough to prove his treason.

I say looking back and slapping the shit out of Rethugs is needed. Other wise we will just allow this bullshit to flourish again and again. Bringing charges on the seditious in Congress should be his second priority.

Yep.

there's a saying “The wheels of justice turn slowly, but grind exceedingly fine”

let's just hope they grind fine and thoroughly enough before too much damage gets done...there's been way too much damage already

Your wish will not come true. Sleepy Joe lacks the energy and mental fitness to do anything, and his AG is not the sharpest knife in the drawer either. He has nothing to charge Mr. Trump with, and that is why the former POTUS is living well in state income tax-free Florida enjoying his freedom and playing golf on some magnificent courses.

'Step Up or Step Out': Dem Lawmaker Demands Merrick Garland Prosecute Trumpers for Jan. 6

Gallego said sentences being handed down to rioters caught inside the Capitol on January 6 are "slaps on the wrist" and won't prevent a future coup attempt.

No they are not. If they actually had a good idea to improve the lives of everyday Americans, they'd have support from across the aisle. Dems. have only put forward a party wishlist that is designed to give them more power over everyday Americans.

 

[Cubantripod]

Are you going to politicize that office too? It will come back to bite you.

Speaking of not being the sharpest knife in the drawer . . .

I am only speaking of things the AG should do as a matter of plain duty.

You said you want him to "find anything."

Investigation is part of the DOJ's duties.

You keep dodging my point. You just want them to go to jail.

And why the Govt is broken. States can do better by themselves.

Thank goodness the lazy dumb ass is not on the Supreme Court! Guess we can agree McConnell did us all a favor. Shame Biden picked such a useless AG.

No, they wouldn't. We have no reason whatsoever to believe that. The Congressional GOP's agenda is the same now as in the Obama years -- to deny the Dems anything they can claim as a success, no matter what the issue, even if it is an issue on which they previously agreed.
