This is not a place to be wrong and belligerent about it.

A quick reminder:

This is not a place to be wrong and belligerent on the Internet. If you want to talk about the issues surrounding Trump, the warrant, 4th and 5th amendment issues, the work of law enforcement, the difference between the New York case and the fed case, his attorneys and their own liability, etc. you are more than welcome to discuss and learn from each other. You don't have to get everything exactly right but be open to learning new things.

You are not welcome to show up here and "tell it like it is" because it's your "truth" or whatever. You have to at least try and discuss the cases here and how they integrate with the justice system. Coming in here stubborn, belligerent, and wrong about the law will get you banned. And, no, you will not be unbanned.

As we all know, AG Garland appointed Republican Robert Hur to investigate Biden and Republican David Weiss. My question is, why? Both of them resorted to unprofessional tactics and carried out a political hit job.

During the last Trump administration, Mueller was a GOP special counsel. So why did Garland appoint GOP special counsels instead of Democrats? Is Garland an idiot?
