Garland's speech, other than its commemoration of the events of Jan 6, was gratuitous and unnecessary. Garland had no obligation whatsoever to ingratiate the insecurities of his critics regarding his competence and commitment to do his job right. All he accomplished was feed the fears of the uninformed who will surely come up with even more ridiculous theories of why Garland is not to be trusted. Next thing you know, they will start demanding classified DOJ files from Garland as proof he really means what he says... or else.
