AG Garland Wrong Man For Desperate Times

[LetMyPeopleVote]

15. Ethically Garland cannot talk about prosecutions or cases that are being investigated

We do not know what the Garland DOJ is doing or what they are investigating because Garland is complying with DOJ guidelines and is acting ethically. The code of ethics for attorneys and DOJ policies are clear on this.

I am pleased that Garland was quick to allow DOJ officials and former DOJ officials to meet with the 1/6 Commission. The former acting AG spent over 8 hours with the 1/6 commission and many more hours with the Senate Judiciary Committee. That would not have happen if Garland was trying to tank this investigation. The Senate Judiciary interim report disclosed a great deal and I like the fact that Jeff Clark has been referred already to the DC circuit.

It takes time to build a case. Barr put some barriers in place before he left that had to be undone. The SDNY just got a US Attorney in the last couple of weeks. Again, we do not know what is being pursued by the DOJ and I have no problem with this.

I doubt that the leaks in the OP came from Garland but do remember that he has 600+ insurrection cases to prosecute and there has to be plea bargains accepted in order to have the resources to pursue the conspiracy cases.
