President Joe Biden and company are mimicking the fictitious “Seinfeld” holiday Festivus with their airing of grievances along with the failed leader’s regrets.
With less than a month remaining in his dumpster fire of a presidency, the outgoing leader and his handlers are trying to polish the turd of his legacy, complaining to the Washington Post that he was misunderstood and that he was undermined by his own troops, including Attorney General Merrick Garland.
It really says everything about Biden that he’s angry that Merrick Garland was too cautious about prosecuting Biden’s opponents and he regrets he didn’t choose a bigger, quicker hack.
While he’s also angry that Garland prosecuted Biden’s son.https://t.co/dQ3di8vNBF

The lengthy profile published on Saturday is a hagiography that portrays possibly the worst president in U.S. history in a positive light, misunderstood and let down by those he trusted. A man who “often looked to Franklin D. Roosevelt as a model,” with close allies like Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) and National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan providing quotes.
Also included was some insight into his disappointment with his hand-picked attorney general who didn’t move quickly enough to prosecute – and potentially jail – President-elect Donald J. Trump, knocking him out of the race and presumably clearing the path for the senile Biden.
“In private, Biden has also said he should have picked someone other than Merrick Garland as attorney general, complaining about the Justice Department’s slowness under Garland in prosecuting Trump, and its aggressiveness in prosecuting Biden’s son Hunter,” writes the WaPo’s Tyler Pager, citing the now customary unnamed sources.
The blame for Biden’s passing up more politically loyal friends who would do his bidding is affixed to ex-Chief of Staff Ron Klain who lobbied for Garland, stressing that the former “federal judge with a sterling reputation for independence and fairness — would show Americans that Biden was rebuilding a department badly shaken by Trump’s political attacks.”
Klain successfully “persuaded” Biden, and “some Democrats believe the decision had devastating results,” wrote Pager, again not naming names of who the “some Democrats” are.
“Had the Justice Department moved faster to prosecute Trump for allegedly seeking to overturn the 2020 election and mishandling classified documents, they say, the former president might have faced a politically damaging trial before the election,” the author wrote, an admission that the entire lawfare assault on Trump was a politically motivated sham to benefit Biden’s hopes for a second term by kneecapping his top rival.
Biden was also peeved with his choice for top cop over the DOJ’s prosecution of his scoundrel of a son Hunter who he just granted a sweeping 10-year pardon to after he lied and said that he wouldn’t.
It’s not the first time that Biden’s frustration with Garland has bubbled up to the surface.
Earlier this year after the devastating report by Special Counsel Robert Hur that described Biden as a “sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory” who was effectively too senile to put in front of a jury for mishandling of classified documents, Politico reported on his anger with the attorney general for not reigning in the federal prosecutor.
The outlet reported that the president “has told aides and outside advisers that Attorney General Merrick Garland did not do enough to rein in a special counsel report stating that the president had diminished mental faculties.”
“Biden and his closest advisers believe Hur went well beyond his purview and was gratuitous and misleading in his descriptions, according to those two people, who were granted anonymity to speak freely,” according to Politico. “And they put part of the blame on Garland, who they say should have demanded edits to Hur’s report, including around the descriptions of Biden’s faltering memory.”
Per @politico story I linked, Joe Biden “has grumbled to aides and advisers” that Merrick Garland hasn’t moved fast enough to put Trump on trial. Joe Biden is demanding his AG put his chief political rival in prison for life. Kind of a big threat to democracy, guys. pic.twitter.com/nU3DUuHkDs

“In recent weeks, President Biden has grumbled to aides and advisers that had Garland moved sooner in his investigation into former President Donald Trump’s election interference, a trial may already be underway or even have concluded, according to two people granted anonymity to discuss private matters,” Politico reported at the time.
“This has been building for a while,” said one of the unnamed individuals quoted. “No one is happy,” with the anonymous sources expressing the opinion that “most of the president’s senior advisers do not believe that the attorney general would remain in his post for a possible second term.”
Thanks to Garland’s lollygagging around with Trump’s trials, there would be no second term.
It’s probably a good bet that there will be much revisionism in the coming weeks to portray the failed president as anything other than the great skunk of American history that he has been.
