I’m gonna go with Garland being more intelligent than Bragg can ever hope to be and, knowing there’s nothing there, decided not to intentionally make himself look stupid and dismissed any action. I’ll stick with that until I have evidence otherwise.
Bragg is not a deep thinker, he’s playing the short game hoping it will propel him to hero status even after he falls flat. He wants celebrity status and he’ll get it briefly. The Dem party will reward him for life, suckers will prop him up, and he’ll be set. That’s his game.
