1. I get the wtf re: Garland. But...

have you noticed that, since Schiff complained about an apparent DOJ "reluctance" to prosecute Trump, we've heard almost nothing about Garland's or the DOJ's reluctance to prosecute. Why is that?

So we can and should speculate, eh? I think it's because the DOJ let out to Congresspeople that the DOJ is, indeed, criminally investigating Trump and that the investigation is expansive and serious. Now, let it be noted that I actually know nothing factual. I'm only observing human behavior and making inferences. Schiff would be making more noises if he still had the same knowledge base as he had when he complained. But apparently his knowledge base HAS changed.

The DOJ's own self-interest and the seriousness of the investigation warrants a supreme commitment to silence while the data is gathered and presented to a grand jury. And I suspect that the grand jury is being protected by the silence. There are increasing numbers of Trumpers who are getting itchy trigger fingers. There's no sense in agitating them with leaks that would be seen as endangering Trump and their goal of overthrowing the government.
