Garland, being an institutionalist, may actually work out in our favor.

We may be looking at this in the wrong way.

While president, Trump completely corrupted the DOJ. He made a mockery of the rule of law. He destroyed the reputation of the DOJ.

For Garland, a proud institutionalist, this must have been horrifying and completely unacceptable.

Garland knows many Americans, including many Democrats have lost faith in the rule of law and the DOJ. I have no doubt Garland wants to restore the reputation of the DOJ and the peoples faith in the institution he loves.

There is only one way Garland can do this. By indicting all those responsible for the attempted coup. To indict them and to give them their day in court. There is no other way Garland can repair the damage done to the institution he loves.

Just my opinion.

Would that not further damage the reputation to the institution Garland loves? Think about it. Name me one other way Garland can restore the reputation and the peoples faith in the institution he loves.
