Apparently his family name was Garfinkel. I would have stuck with that, rather than naming myself after a Christmas decoration.

I had no idea, just thought maybe he was related to Judy Garland, whose own real surname was Gumm.

So confusing.

Who the heck assumed he was Jewish? We just knew he was a bum.

Garland is Jewish? Oy vey.

As we await AG Merrick Garland and his statement, a senior WH official tells me the Biden WH was not informed this was happening:
"We have had no notice that he was giving remarks and no briefing on the content of them."

This would be the same White House that two days ago said the Justice Department was independent of the Executive Branch of government. Why now would they expect the Justice Department to "inform" them that Garland was speaking?

🚨🚨BREAKING per NYT: Some senior Republicans have been quietly warned by *Trump allies* not to continue to be so aggressive in criticizing the DOJ and F.B.I. because it is possible that more damaging information about Mr. Trump related to the Mar-A-Lago search will become public

Garland says he personally approved the decision to seek a search warrant for Mar-a-Lago and said the department "does not take such a decision lightly."

Merrick Garland says the attempt to unseal the search warrant comes "in light of the former president's public confirmation of the search, the surrounding circumstances, and the substantial public interest in this matter."

It was a 'hostage video'. He looked like he was about to piss himself.
Everybody is 'patriots' ... a word any Trump supporter could be arrested for.
When he says, 'Rule of Law' ... it has the same impact when Pelosi says it.

Bullshit. If they filed a motion to unseal, it would have been unsealed already.

It just occurred to me: if you criticize Garland, it's because he's (apparently) Jewish. If you criticize AOC, it's because you want to date her. This is all starting to make sense.

We’ll see how people react, but the instant flood of commentary about the brilliant cat-and-mouse game Garland is playing vs Trump by giving him a chance to object to unsealing the warrant seems like one reason not to get publicly involved

And Middle Schooler could have read that statement ...Garland read it exactly like they would have too!

Pathetic.
