Legal Advocates Call For Merrick Garland To Resign For Not Prosecuting TFG
Garlands failures have not been limited to TFG. He has failed to investigate Members of Congress who appear to have helped plan the January 6 insurrection, including Rep. Paul Gosar (Ariz.), Rep. Lauren Boebert (Colo.), Rep. Mo Brooks( Ala.), Rep. Madison Cawthorn (N.C.), Rep. Andy Biggs (Ariz.), Rep. Louie Gohmert (Texas), and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (Ga.).
Meanwhile, DOJ inexcusably sat on its hands since a bipartisan majority of the House of Representatives voted on October 21 to hold Steve Bannon in contempt of Congress for defying a subpoena from the January 6 committee. The last time that the House referred a contempt of Congress charge to DOJ, then-President Reagans prosecutors immediately brought the matter to a grand jury; it returned an indictment just nine days after the House vote.
Furthermore, Garlands failures have not been limited to inaction. He has actively defended or continued many TFG-era DOJ policies, including the coverup of the key DOJ legal memo regarding TFGs obstruction of justice, and defending TFGs libel of a rape victim by claiming that he did so within the scope of his office as President of the United States.
For all these reasons, Garland is no longer fit to serve as Attorney General. His previous record of federal service should not blind us to the fact that he is simply the wrong person for this job at this time.

Patience on the left is wearing thin with the Attorney General, and for every good move that he has made to protect voting rights, the elephant in the room is Trump and the DOJs lack of action in response to the 1/6 attack. -
