How do you feel about Attorney General Garland today?

I was apparently one of the "cheerleaders" for standing by the position that he was working methodically through the Trump investigation.

I understand what it takes to build a case and successfully prosecute it. It’s not a fast process.

I never wavered from my belief that he was/is investigating the Trump cabal.

Unless there are indictments , there will not be change.

Someone pushed harder for the search warrant than the rest. I want to shake that person’s hand

If Garland signals anything it will be misunderstood or criticized to distraction. Literally a distraction.

... if they don't understand the width of discontent with Garland.

Garland did what he was supposed to do when a person breaks the law, I guess that's progress ?

I'd call it "pursuing justice", and I always trusted him on that.

I think he's been remarkable at not making it personal.
