What the hell is our AG doing there? He has 0 fucking foreign affairs authority. Can't be arsed to prosecute traitors but the dumbass can play international politics?
Garland needs removed as AG, shit is stupid as fuck.

I don't think he went there without prior authorization from the president. Maybe he knows someone. Maybe he's looking into war crimes.

Oh, that explains it. Pudin’ Head sent him. (I’m surprised he didn’t send Fetterman too. Double up on the unqualified, senseless fact finding fiasco! /s

I'm getting the feeling you don't politic. That's fine, really... But you're probably not the right person to judge what a person is and isn't qualified for - unless you've got some qualifications you're not mentioning?
I'm certainly not qualified.
Roundaboutsix t1_jbqumtn wrote
Nope. Not qualified myself but, as an American, I feel free to critique others publicly. I’m an independent (socially liberal; fiscally conservative) but I think history will show that this guy overstepped his authority.

Why would this trip by taken by our A.G, not our S.O.D(Genuine question, because the article doesn’t explain it with regard to jurisdiction)?

The fuck is the AG doing in Ukraine? He has absolutely zero business there.

Well, a former US president did attempt to blackmail their current Prime Minister.

The usual routine: make claim, say video supports claim, video shows a well worn aspect no one was questioning or denying while ignoring the actual key part of the claim being made.
Is it possible? Sure. Was that proof of blackmail related to Hunter? Obviously not.
Also, it’s a small detail but anyone familiar with colloquial use of the English language would understand “well son of a bitch” was being used as “well what do you know” and not calling Poroshenko an SOB. Only serves to illustrate a clear bias or willful dishonesty.

Withhold aid? This one was already done by Trump, he was even impeached for it

> Why it matters: During the visit, Garland reaffirmed the U.S.' commitment to help Kyiv hold Russia accountable for crimes committed throughout its invasion of Ukraine.

War Crimes have nothing to do with Garland. He won't even prosecute Russia's stooge, who the hell believes Garland gives a shit about war crimes?

Treasury secretary went too.
Oghier t1_jaut7zg wrote
Garland was there to discuss war crimes crimes. He reiterated that the US remains committed to holding Russia accountable.
schwinnJV t1_jb0con1 wrote
Yeah but why wasn’t he personally dusting fingerprints at maralago or digging up ivanas grave?
If Reddit were AG, like we should be, this shit would be wrapped up by now!!!1!

He has some business to do right here at home, that he has been bending over backwards to not do for over 2 years.

He needs a well earned break from all the prosecuting he's been doing here.

What an utter waste of space. He needs to resign so they can get someone in there with balls, and that includes the ladies.

Biden has a list of completely spineless motherfuckers he can replace Garland with at the drop of a hat.
Invertebrates are common in Washington.

Neither one has practiced law in 30 years. We can do better.

I guess he had some free time- no cases to pursue back home. But wait.. if Garland is in Ukraine, who is giving Trump his daily hot stone massages? Isnt that what Garland usually does?
gunnergoz t1_jawn6lh wrote
Supposedly to discuss Russian war crimes but I think most likely to get first hand information about Trump's conduct collaborating with Russia against Ukraine.
Cfp0001-Iceman t1_jb7jvkm wrote
Garland already handed over any investigation, it would be inappropriate for him to now personally investigate Trump.
This is entirely pointless politics and just proves Garland isn't doing his job other than being completely useless.

I would like to hear that he made a surprise visit to Trump's jail cell.
