Garland is quiet, by the book, He follows the law. He is a moderate and he was a judge. By all accounts he is very well respected, even among Republicans. When Garland starts to indict people, he will come under political attack.
It will be much more difficult for Trump and the Republicans to call Garland an extremist, a Democrat out for revenge.
If Biden had picked an aggressive Democrat for AG, it would make it much easier for Trump and the Republicans to call it a political witch hunt.
Just my opinion.

I listened to the whole testimony today, and DT is much worse of a human being than I ever realized! Even being an ex prez, Garland shouldn't have a difficult time prosecuting him!
