Can anyone name anything thus far accomplished by the Garland DOJ?

This is not intended to be a "tear him down" thread. The question is straight forward.

Yes, there is J6.

There is also the right to vote.

I see this as but two of the big issues before us.

Garland is part of a system meant to protect the rich and powerful. This is all a game and we will not like the ending.

slaps on the wrist.

No one is going to mention all the crimes of the tfg whose statutes of limitations have been allowed to run out while we wait for i's to be dotted and t's to be crossed.

There have been several civil rights cases, a RICO takedown in MO are a couple of things off the top of my head.

I don't think there can be a sharing of info as the Congress is a compromised body.

Seems there are two camps on DU when it comes to Garland. Each has legit concerns and views. This far in this thread, assuming I am reading the snark correctly, there are more of his detractors than supporters.

We have become so jaded from Fitzmas to Mueller and the dismal way the world is turning. I don't know that I have "faith" per se, but I do know that Congress is so compromised that no leaks can occur if they want to snag them all or most of them. But hey, I'm ready to be disappointed.

his investigations were restricted. With that said, within 3 months Robert Mueller indicted or got guilty pleas from 34 people and 3 companies. Mueller also produced the evidence to indict Trump for the Stormy Daniels payoff. Mueller also produced evidence for Trump to be indicted for obstruction of justice. The Merrick Garland DOJ chose not to prosecute Trump, the only reason that Mueller did not prosecute Trump was he followed the DOJ memo that stated he couldn't prosecute a sitting president.

Nick Ackerman cut to the chase last night. The former Watergate prosecutor stated that all of these delays can be cured if only DOJ would create a grand jury to investigate the attempted coup. The grand jury for Watergate was upset that Nixon wasn't put on trial because they felt that Nixon would have been convicted. I wish they would have because that would have set a precedent.

Is it your opinion that the Jan 6th Committee is filled with conspiracy theorists that don't assume that indictments are quick and easy to obtain?
