Attorney General Garland tells Alabama's Bloody Sunday service that voting rights are under attack

37. Yeah, well

bottom up is how one flips informants -- a kind of crowdsourcing of new arrestees. Tried and true in big criminal cases with still-moving parts. I suspect you knew all that, too, but just in case.

No, it was all one investigation. One. And it didn't take more than one "due process" series of obstructions for Garland to decide to appoint a Special Counsel. Garland had already set up Smith's Grand Juries to last until the end of this month. It took Trump announcing his candidacy for 2024, for Garland to announce a SC, since Garland had already decided by then on who would do the best, fastest and most thorough investigation and case building of the first-in-US history indictments. One doesn't just hear the news and decide such things overnight.

Give Garland credit for Jack Smith, ffs. Garland got all the documents the Special Counsel team is using in the FL documents case; Smith's team has been handling the classified content, along with the plentiful text, tapes, phone audio evidence around their movement and storage. As you know from the ultimate referrals by the Jan 6 Committee to the DOJ, there were a LOT of moving parts long before, during, and since the current indictments. But Garland set up Smith's Grand Juries to last until the end of this month.

Garland "blinked." With over 100,000 DOJ employees and hundreds of Jan 6 convictions under his belt, yeah, he's human. Try that line with bigtree and BumRushDaShow. She's got a lot more reasons than I about why Garland is in 'the God' category of executive appointees. But hey, you and the perfect-as-the-enemy-of-the-good crowd are the experts on investigating terrorism.

Armchair critics say Garland blinked? Oh noes!

Here's what Garland had done before he brought Jack Smith over from The Hague:
