‘Massive Failure!’ Mary Trump TORCHES Merrick Garland For Not Arresting Trump Yet
Ex-presidential niece Mary Trump told SiriusXM host and Salon interviewer Dean Obeidallah that Attorney General Merrick Garland’s decision not to charge ex-President Donald Trump will go down in history as a “massive failure.”
Trump has been indicted by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s grand jury investigating the circumstances around hush money payments to Stormy Daniels. But he has yet to be indicted for anything related to the January 6 insurrection.
Obeidallah interviewed Mary Trump for his Salon Talks interview series this week, and asked her what message it sends that Trump still hasn’t been charged for Jan. 6:
DEAN OBEIDALLAH: A small step for mankind. But you know, that kind of Neil Armstrong on the moon type of thing, almost as heavy of a lift. But what is your reaction? We are two years and about three months since the January six attack. That was a Donald Trump production and the coup and DOJ. All we hear is that Jackson, the special counsel, seems to be robustly investigating but is expanding the investigation. What’s your reaction that it’s been this long and what’s the message sent by DOJ that they still not charged Donald Trump in almost, in two years and three and a half months?
MARY TRUMP: It’s infuriating. It should worry all of us that the people in in places of power who actually can do something about fixing this country and saving American democracy don’t seem to understand the threat facing us. And no matter what happens, listen. Hopefully, Jack Smith will get the evidence he needs to indict the right people. And hopefully Merrick Garland will see the wisdom in letting that happen and allow things to play out. Right? Even if that happens, though, historians will look at Merrick Garland’s unwillingness to act in a timely fashion as a massive failure! If, however, we don’t succeed in holding those people accountable and we we are not able to hang on to the American experiment. I think Merrick Garland will go down in history as the person who most failed America.
DEAN OBEIDALLAH: You think Merrick Garland’s failure to charge Trump promptly, and there’s no doubt he didn’t charge him promptly, that it’s helped normalize Donald Trump?
MARY TRUMP: It’s it’s been a, it’s it’s been quite the spectacle to see both Merrick Garland and the media do everything in their power to continue normalizing this man, even when it became clear that to do so would to be to endanger us further. So I don’t there’s no explanation for what’s going on that I’m aware of that makes sense. So, yes, it has normal… Listen, he is not just running to be the Republican candidate for president. He is the Republican candidate for president. That’s insane. We have active seditions continuing to serve in our government. That’s insane. If our system is incapable of protecting itself from those who seek to dismantle it, what’s the point of the system in the first place?
