Joy Reid Discusses Former Biden Official

Well, well, well… look who suddenly woke up.

After years of defending every bumbling move of the Biden administration like her MSNBC contract depended on it (because, let’s be honest, it did), Joy Reid is now out of a job and—poof!—suddenly full of questions, Republicans have been shouting from the rooftops since day one. Questions like: Hey, why didn’t Merrick Garland do anything useful with the Epstein Files for four straight years?

You don’t say, Joy.

Appearing on The Breakfast Club podcast with Charlamagne tha God, Reid sounded like someone who just realized the Titanic was sinking… after it hit the iceberg, broke in half, and sank to the bottom of the ocean. Her target? Former Attorney General Merrick Garland, the human snooze button of American justice, who somehow managed to occupy one of the most powerful seats in government and leave absolutely no meaningful legacy behind—unless you count weaponizing the DOJ against parents at school board meetings.

Reid’s mini-rant started with the pipe bomb investigation from January 6, which, by the way, Trump’s DOJ wrapped up faster than Garland could find his reading glasses. Then she pivoted hard into the Epstein Files—the elephant in the room Democrats have pretended doesn’t exist since the day the cameras conveniently malfunctioned in Epstein’s jail cell.

“I don’t understand why he escapes the smoke,” she said. Well, welcome to the party, Joy. Republicans have been asking that exact same thing for years. Garland, despite sitting on mountains of evidence and having every opportunity to uncover the truth behind one of the darkest sex trafficking scandals in modern history, allegedly did absolutely nothing. Reid even admitted as much: “He might as well not have been there.”

Now, let’s pause for a moment. This is coming from Joy Reid. The same Joy Reid who spent most of the Biden presidency lobbing grenades at conservatives while holding water for the party that had zero interest in unsealing the Epstein network’s dirty laundry. Funny how the curiosity only kicks in once Democrats are out of power and there’s no more access to influence or cozy interviews.

The truth is, Garland had the Epstein files. He had the time. He had the tools. What he didn’t have was the will—or, perhaps more accurately, the clearance from above. Because let’s not kid ourselves: releasing those documents could get very messy for a lot of very rich, very powerful, and—dare we say it—very politically connected people. People the Biden administration had no interest in upsetting.
