I think the best indictment of Merrick Garland is that Trump hasn’t bothered to persecute him at all. Trump would rather go after James Comey, that’s how small an impression Garland made.

The most damning thing you can say about Merrick Garland is that he apparently didn't bother Donald Trump at all. The world's most thin-skinned and vengeful man is still going after James Comey while Garland presumably smarts because the FBI hasn't raided his house yet.
