It IS sad that he doesn't have a staff and can only address one issue at a time, right?

A phone call of support sends a message. A PERSONAL visit sends proof of COMMITMENT!

Maybe Garland should sit in on the J6 Committee hearings instead of watching on TV then

Announcing that the trip will be "unannounced" seems contradictory.

His job at the DOJ is to prosecute war crimes for foreign wars in which the US is not a party?

Garland is a hero, I'm telling you. But he's a very, very quiet hero - a stealth hero. LOL
