U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland said Wednesday that the Department of Justice’s investigation into the law enforcement response to the elementary school shooting in Uvalde won’t be criminal in nature.

Garland described the federal investigation as a “critical incident review,” which was done after other mass shootings such as in San Bernardino, California, and Orlando, Florida. The review will assess the law enforcement response and “give guidance for the future,” Garland said. The department will then produce a public report, which will include the investigation’s findings and recommendations.

“Nothing that these [investigators] can do can undo the terrible tragedy that occurred, and that we are just heartbroken about,” Garland said Wednesday. “But we can assess what happened and we can make recommendations for the future.”

1. Not prosecuting won't undo the tragedy either

3. So the "critical incident reviews," done after San Bernardino, California, and Orlando, Florida

That were to give guidance for the future didn't change anything and this one from Texas will?

What magical thinking.

4. Is it just me, or is no one ever being held accountable ever?

I remember at time (geez, I'm old) when massive failures / tragedies / scandals, etc. were followed by some or all of the following: arrests, firings, resignations, career ends, social pariah status, etc.

Now, nobody suffers consequences, ever.

The last person I can remember being held accountable for anything was Bernie Madoff.

6. Or Martha Stewart

No accountability lately unless you're in the Democratic party it seems.

7. Oh yeah! I forgot about Martha.

Interesting that the only person to go to jail for insider trading "lately" is a woman.

5. business as usual

It is so comforting to return to normalcy.
Is this the take on Jan 6 too?
“Nothing that these [investigators] can do can undo the terrible tragedy that occurred, and that we are just heartbroken about,” Garland said Wednesday. “But we can assess what happened and we can make recommendations for the future.”
Institutionalists find it so easy to ignore that their institutions are screwed from top to bottom. Might as well have Susan Collins running the DoJ.
