Top Oversight Democrat says Merrick Garland should testify on Epstein

42. I literally said none was shown

...and you haven't shown that their priorities were wrong, much less evidence them at all.

Your assertion made, not mine.

I'm eternally bemused by those who base their criticisms of what Garland did or didn't do on their own projections, instead of showing some actual proof other than their insistence that he's done something wrong.

From all appearances, his DOJ was still interviewing witnesses who were coming forward , up until Trump took office. There's absolutely nothing in any record or report to suggest his FBI erred in their prioritization of the cases they were tasked with.

Indeed, many of his same critics would also argue, at the same time, that Garland should have similarily 'prioritized' the other investigations he wasn't directly responsible for presenting to grand juries.

It's a profound misunderstanding of his role, and a misplaced belief, I think, that he should have made some special effort to insert himself into the decision-making because it involved Trump - something completely antithetical to the justice that's professed to be sought, notwithstanding the desire of some to throw all of that prosecutorial integrity to the wind in a partisan effort to win an election.
