Attorney General Merrick Garland appears to be losing patience with the many thinly constructed Republican conspiracy theories about the supposed “weaponization” of the justice system against the GOP. Garland two weeks ago delivered what was by his standards a quick and strong rebuke of a ridiculous Donald Trump-pushed theory that the FBI had targeted Trump for assassination.

Garland continued in that vein during testimony before the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday, while taking on a second pervasive Trump-related conspiracy theory.

The scene — combined with recent comments from a former Trump lawyer — helped reinforce just how half-baked the theory is.
