(1 post)At the end of the day these cases are about a former president of the united states who clearly indicated he was going to run again (and has subsequently secured the nomination). This is exactly the type of case the attorney general should be ALL OVER to ensure it is handled quickly and fairly. At the end of the day the American people have a right to know if the man that is going to be nominated by one of the two leading political parties of the country is a criminal or not.
Garland excusing himself from almost all involvement (and thereby attempting to absolve himself of responsibility) isn't a shining beacon of impartiality but instead a failure of leadership and a horrific display of cowardice. Trump is really only involved in 4 cases not hundreds. He should be finding out what the status is of these cases and finding out if there is anything they need to provide to the state level cases all of the time and ensuring it is delivered promptly and accurately. That is leadership. Integrity means you don't play both sidesism. Integrity is realizing that these cases involve an ex-president of the united states and the public deserves to know before they vote. He clearly avoided that and tried to pretend that impartiality is to take no sides when his JOB is to take sides. He's the attorney general for heaven's sake, not a journalist and this is a former president of the united states with evidence against him that indicates he committed many crimes. To leave that to underlings is unconscionable and he has failed the American people.
That being said, President Biden can't let him resign or fire him now because it would be too much right before the election but he shouldn't let him serve one minute in the next administration after he beats Trump again.
