Has Adam Schiff repeated his complaints of the DOJ and/or Garland?

He issued a statement several days ago in which he surmised that Garland was "reluctant" to prosecute Trump.

I don't think that we heard any additional statements of "concern" about the DOJ and Garland since then.

And I think it's because someone actually TOLD Schiff that the DOJ is, indeed, engaged in criminal investigations regarding Trump.

If we don't hear from him, it's because he knows something.

Garland every day because Schiff isn't that kind of person.

the pressure on Garland to produce increases daily. And he should expect it. What else are people to do? Be in a perpetual state of calm?

while I'm on your side regarding what you posted, Garland is probably also under extreme pressure to let trump and his gang off the hook by certain people as well.

Bill Barr appointed special counsel John Durham to investigate the Russia/Trump investigations and put in guard rails so that he can't be shut down. Durham is trying to dig up dirt right now against president Biden and whoever else he can smear.

I am sick and tired of hearing that a sitting president can't be indicted, it is not a law. I say bring it on, let them try to make up charges against Biden.

They'll do it anyway.

Refraining from tough action because Republicans might do it after you have is how they got to the point they're at now.

Garland is afraid that the republicans will block him the next time he is appointed to be a judge if he follows the law and prosecutes Trump. What he does not understand is that republicans will block him even if he does nothing.
