Being Cautious or more than cautious
One explanation for Garlands inertia is that Garland seemed to be paralyzed by the need to protect his pure and oh so precious reputation and legacy. As such he would have been a useless choice for a position like AG.
Another explanation could be that he answered to someone other than Biden and that he protected Trump by pouring sand into the gears of Justice.
There seems to be no logical explanation for his actions or more correctly inaction on the prosecution of Trump for sedition and possibly treason and espionage.
Why didn't he release the Epstein files?
Why didn't he release the complete Mueller report?
Why did he wait until the end of 2022 to appoint a special counsel to investigate Trump. And them he appointed a person who he knew could not take up the job for 3 months.
Why did he run the document theft prosecution in South Florida instead of following the usual procedure of running the prosecution in Washington DC. As a result out of the three Judges available it miraculously kept being placed before Donald Trumps favorite Judge Aileen Cannon.
So at the end of the day he helped put Trump in the White House.Now there are two dead citizens in Minneapolis who would be alive in Garland had done his job more energetically.
So many inexplicable mysteries. We will have to wait for Garland's memoirs.
