Garland's Decisions For 2 Investigations [View all]

1. Matt Gaetz

Gaetz was accused of numerous sex related crimes which carried a minimum sentence of 10 years in prison.
Garland looked at the evidence from numerous individuals, including Gaetz partner in crime who turned state's evidence on Gaetz. Including the victim herself along with other eye witnesses, along with documentation, receipts.

Garland deemed the witnesses to not be reliable and shit canned the prosecution.

2. Hunter/Joe Biden

The investigation into the Bidens had been going on for years. Hunter and Joe were accused of taking kickbacks from Burisma and China.
Garland became AG and continued the investigation. The main FBI informant, whistleblower got his information from Russian agents. The main informant is being prosecuted for lying to the FBI and stands to do jail time. Nevertheless, this investigation was allowed to branch out until prosecutor Weiss dug up a tax violation (one that is rarely prosecuted) and gun violation against Hunter. In order for Weiss to indict Hunter on the tax crime he asked Garland to make him a special counsel, and Garland gladly obliged.

3. Garland Bonus decision.

Garland appointed Hur a special counsel to investigate President Biden having possession of classified documents at his properties.
Garland released Hur's unredacted report on his investigation that contained lies and defaming statements about Joe.

Still waiting on Garland to release the Mueller report and am not holding my breath for Garland to release the Jack Smith reports.

I still have scars that haven't healed for my truth telling about Merrick Garland.
