A contradiction? [View all]

We have seen some members of the committee putting pressure on Garland. They believe he should be doing more. This makes Garland look bad. It can leave the impression Garland is not doing anything.

However, the other day I saw Raskin on MSNBC saying he has complete faith in The DOJ. Which one is it, do you see the contradiction.
This is an example of how you should not draw conclusions from broad statements people make on the news.

We will find out what Garland is up to soon enough.
