Focusing on jurists, I saw this link to a substack story about Merrick Garland on Joyce Vance's substack the other day. Thanks to the reader who posted it.

Many people have been critical of AG Garland for his slow walk toward prosecuting the MAGA crowd. This piece by Mueller She Wrote (someone I have casually followed for a few years) says it isn't so.

"Two months later, June 2021, Garland was growing frustrated with the slow pace of the investigation. The FBI trump allies were refusing to execute search warrants, so Merrick garland called a meeting and set up a task force to investigate Trump called the “investigations unit”. But they didn’t yet have Biden’s DC US Attorney to assist and provide resources. The agency was still filled with Trump holdovers and Jim Jordan allies, so the amount of people investigating was relegated to a small group of people Garland could trust. What was taking the Senate so long to confirm the new DC US Attorney?"

Read on to find out who actually was doing the slow-walking.

Thanks for the link, Lynell. I hadn't realized what he was dealing with; the leftovers from the previous administration.

And very bad leftovers they were, IMO!
