Attorney General Merrick Garland is a bitter partisan hack, but apparently not a bright one.
His timing for giving Hunter Biden a sweetheart deal marks him as dumb as a rock.
Garland easily could have buried the 5-year-old case during the first two years of Joe Biden’s tenure, before Republicans won the House majority in the 2022 midterms.
Had he done so, The Post and a few other outlets would have barked at the rancid favoritism, but the caravan of corruption would have moved on with the blessing of the Democrats running Congress and their media mouthpieces.
In short order, the case would have been forgotten, in part because so many of the incriminating details we know now were still secret.
Instead, Garland foolishly waited until the GOP, armed with subpoena power, could demand documents from banks, protect whistleblowers and hold hearings.
