he believes (rightly or wrongly) in a hands off policy with DOJ. I can't imagine him meddling or even talking to Garland about it.

Joe's memoir will be very interesting. I'm willing to bet money he's not kind about Garland's work. If he was, he'd have given him some props by now. Instead it's total silence and sources reporting how angry he was about Garland's bullshit with Hunter.

I'm looking forward to memoir too. I suspect Biden let him know, if only by not criticizing/firing him. Silent Type Jan 2025 #5
