Or, perhaps he doesn’t want Trump issues to take all the air out of the room while the administration can actually get stuff done for the American people. This gives him time to sort through all of the issues that are in his office after 4 years of Sessions and Barr. It also gives him time to consider options. If this administration were to go into attack mode now the news would be all trump all the time again. That would not be good. There are things that are so much more important than putting Trump and his people in jail right now. In my opinion it is naive to think that those people will be treated as if they are murderers and it doesn’t serve democrats well to mud wrestle with the pig. The administration is doing a great job of keeping the temperature lower and the news media is doing a good job of telling the stories.
I think Mr. Garland can probably do many things at once with his big staff. And I can't think of anything more important for the DOJ than to restore its own functions and begin again to regulate and oversee the administration of justice in this country. We're not guaranteed of another 4 years of a law-respecting administration anytime soon, given the voting restrictions being put in place or considered in 47 out of 50 states. It is not "going into attack mode" to decide against continuing to defend the legally tortured position of Trump's DOJ to protect him from legal action on a 1990s rape count. As Elie Mystal points out in so many words, other accused citizen-rapists must hire their own private lawyers.

Good point
