Garland seems determined to be obstinate-the more people tell him to act, the less he will

Like he's proving a point.

And I don't care for his pissy mansplaining lectures to us about "following the facts."

He's on a wrong-headed crusade thinking that giving trump impunity to commit all crimes proves the Justice Department is neutral.

of the backlash from the MAGAts if he charges Trump. Can you imagine the death threats he would get.

Anthony Fauci didn't let the MAGAts deter him from his mission.

What kind of coward is he? I am so sick of these milquetoast right-wingers (or those pretending to be centrist who are actually firmly on the right) who are so damn afraid of the dumbest, most deplorable members of society who threaten to "come after them" or not vote for them.

Fucking stand for something in your life. With great power comes great responsibility. If you are too craven to do your job properly, then step aside.

None of us know what is happening behind the scenes but because the DOJ's work is not made public many take that to mean nothing is being done. Watergate indictments and charges took years. Why would we expect charges/indictments to be made for the more complex crimes related to J6 within 6 months? There are hundreds of J6 rioters still to be charged for their lower level crimes. Our justice system runs slowly and that's frustrating. I think of that every time some politician is indicted years after their crimes.

Then a group tells said person to do something, the reason for having yet to take action is then to spite the group?

I like to hear what he has to say. Really doesn’t bother me when someone in his position follows the facts.
