(Needless to say, his speech was a disaster!)
Dear Attorney General Garland,
Please, just quit. After listening to your address to the public today it has become painfully clear that Rep. Gallego is completely right. You are feckless. The only thing I heard during your speech was a bunch of platitudes that amounted to you saying just trust me and be patient. Well, if how you are prosecuting the “small fish” insurrectionists whereby *judges* are questioning the punishment recommendations from the DOJ, then I have absolutely no trust. And the patience of the country is wearing thin. You caution that patience is needed to be thorough and to deliver justice. Then, let me ask this: When your malingering in the name of justice runs into Trump declaring his candidacy for president — perhaps in a few months — then what happens? Dare I say, you will then stand up in front of the country to deliver another address where you declare that to be fair to Trump and not interfere with the political process it is in the best interest of the nation that the DOJ should not pursue any investigations into him or the Republican Party. Therein, you have single-handedly consigned America to the end of its democracy because you refused to hold insurrectionists accountable all in the name of patience and appearing to be justice [sic — that will be embarrassing]. We need an AG who has the fire in his belly to hold people accountable and who actually wants to save the country, not just pontificate about what justice means for America. We need a prosecutor as AG who will act and not a scholarly judge who is too pusillanimous to fight for the preservation of democracy.
