A liberal law professor who supported Merrick Garland for the Attorney General’s job is having second, third, and fourth thoughts about him now. He now considers him to be a total failure. Garland was originally nominated to the Supreme Court in one of the last acts of the Obama administration. Mitch McConnell in a rare act of doing the right thing, blocked Garland from even getting a vote in the Senate. Garland is an absolute disaster as AG, so just imagine what a lousy choice he would have been for the Supreme Court.
In an op-ed by a liberal law professor, Jonathan Turley, he points out that there is currently a lack of leadership in the AGs office and that he is not sorry that he ever supported him for that job. His latest knock against Garland is his selection of David Weiss as special counsel in charge of the Hunter Biden investigation. Weiss is a eunich jellyfish. No backbone or cojones. He gave Hunter a sweet deal for his crimes that would mean no jail time and immunity against prosecution for any and all crimes he has committed in the past.
Turley did a line-by-line takedown of why this isn’t a real investigation, not least because Weiss also played a part in shielding Hunter Biden (via The Hill):
The appointment of Delaware David Weiss as the new special counsel to investigate Hunter Biden left many with the same disbelief as that kid in Chicago. This is, after all, the same Weiss who headed an investigation that was trashed by whistleblowers, who alleged that his investigation had been fixed from the outset.
It is the same Weiss who ran an investigation in which agents were allegedly prevented from asking about Joe Biden, obstructed in their efforts to pursue questions and compromised by tip offs to the Biden team on planned searches.
It was also the same Weiss who reportedly allowed the statute of limitations to run out on Hunter’s major tax offenses, even though he had the option to extend it.

It was the same Weiss who inked a widely panned “sweetheart” deal that caused a federal judge to balk and trash a sweeping immunity grant — language that even the prosecutor admitted he had never previously seen in a plea deal.
That is why many asked Garland to “say it ain’t so.”
The Weiss appointment definitively established Garland as a failure as attorney general. As someone who initially praised Garland’s appointment, I now see that he has repeatedly shown he lacks the strength and leadership to rise to these moments.
