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.
