58. Garland does serve at the pleasure of President Biden

Of course Biden doesn't want to, or even be seen as wanting to, interfere with DoJ operations, but he certainly has the right to be briefed by Garland about progress of the Jan 6 rioter cases or about Garland's current priorities at DoJ. Garland was nominated presumably because he was a good fit for the direction Biden wanted at DoJ, but if that has changed, then Biden has the right to ask for Garland's resignation.

Nope, I don't think he wants any part of it. The why of it would be pure speculation at this point. Magoo48 Mar 2022 #77
