Assume you are the attorney general of the United States and have a devilish desire to persuade as many Americans as possible that they should not trust their government.
How would you do that?
If your name is Merrick Garland, the answer is a two-fold plan of attack.
On one hand, you give the corrupt son of your boss every possible break, bend the rules to protect him and hand him a get-out-of-jail-free pass.
The sweetheart deal also serves another purpose.
Because you definitely don’t want anyone to know to what extent your boss was involved in the family’s influence-peddling schemes, the son’s guilty plea to fairly minor crimes slams the door on any possibility that probers would keep digging and find the goods on dear old Dad.
There is a hiccup when whistleblowers go public with evidence of favoritism, but you display umbrage at the insult, deny, deny, deny, and count on the handmaiden media to cover for you, which they do.
Meanwhile, the second part of your plot also unfolds in spectacular, if orderly, fashion. Making history, you greenlight the prosecution of a former president, who also happens to be your boss’s leading political opponent. What a coincidence!

Rep. Nehls played the video of Joe Biden publicly bragging about threatening Ukraine if they didn’t fire Viktor Shokin.
“Play the clip!” Nehls shouted before Merrick Garland had a chance to dispute the quid pro quo.
“Pay attention, sir!” Nehls shouted at Garland as he played the ‘quid pro quo’ video of Joe Biden.
“Mr. Attorney General, what you just saw was Joe Biden, in his arrogance and his role as the Vice President…saying if you don’t fire Shokin, the United States is not giving the $1 billion loan. Why would Joe Biden say that?” Nehls said. “Was it policy? Was it our policy at the time? Yes, or no?”
“It wasn’t!” Nehls shouted before Merrick Garland was even able to answer.
Rep. Nadler tried to interrupt Nehls but Nehls wasn’t having it: “Pipe down!”
Nehls continued, “Joe Biden threatened the Ukrainian President and Prime Minister – to fire Shokin – if that is not quid pro quo, sir, what is? – It’s bribery, and it’s impeachable. Are you gonna do something about it?”
Before Merrick Garland was able to answer, Nehls interrupted him again, “I bet not, which is whyyou, sir, also need to be impeached!”
