Why would this trip by taken by our A.G, not our S.O.D(Genuine question, because the article doesn’t explain it with regard to jurisdiction)?

He needs a well earned break from all the prosecuting he's been doing here.

Garland was there to discuss war crimes crimes. He reiterated that the US remains committed to holding Russia accountable.

It’s in the first two paragraphs

> Attorney General Merrick Garland made a surprise trip to Lviv, Ukraine, on Friday at the invitation of Ukraine’s prosecutor general, according to a Justice Department official.

> Why it matters: During the visit, Garland reaffirmed the U.S.' commitment to help Kyiv hold Russia accountable for crimes committed throughout its invasion of Ukraine.

Garland needs to visit the indictment desk, not Ukraine.

He has some business to do right here at home, that he has been bending over backwards to not do for over 2 years.

Supposedly to discuss Russian war crimes but I think most likely to get first hand information about Trump's conduct collaborating with Russia against Ukraine.

The usual routine: make claim, say video supports claim, video shows a well worn aspect no one was questioning or denying while ignoring the actual key part of the claim being made.

Is it possible? Sure. Was that proof of blackmail related to Hunter? Obviously not.

Also, it’s a small detail but anyone familiar with colloquial use of the English language would understand “well son of a bitch” was being used as “well what do you know” and not calling Poroshenko an SOB. Only serves to illustrate a clear bias or willful dishonesty.

What an utter waste of space. He needs to resign so they can get someone in there with balls, and that includes the ladies.

I would like to hear that he made a surprise visit to Trump's jail cell.

I guess he had some free time- no cases to pursue back home. But wait.. if Garland is in Ukraine, who is giving Trump his daily hot stone massages? Isnt that what Garland usually does?

Yeah but why wasn’t he personally dusting fingerprints at maralago or digging up ivanas grave?

If Reddit were AG, like we should be, this shit would be wrapped up by now!!!1!

What the hell is our AG doing there? He has 0 fucking foreign affairs authority. Can't be arsed to prosecute traitors but the dumbass can play international politics?

Garland needs removed as AG, shit is stupid as fuck.

Garland already handed over any investigation, it would be inappropriate for him to now personally investigate Trump.

This is entirely pointless politics and just proves Garland isn't doing his job other than being completely useless.

I'm getting the feeling you don't politic. That's fine, really... But you're probably not the right person to judge what a person is and isn't qualified for - unless you've got some qualifications you're not mentioning?

I'm certainly not qualified.

Nope. Not qualified myself but, as an American, I feel free to critique others publicly. I’m an independent (socially liberal; fiscally conservative) but I think history will show that this guy overstepped his authority.
