Ari was interviewing a top DOJ official who worked directly with Garland. He said this.
Because of grand jury rules Garland, the DOJ cannot always respond to things that are said on the news about the investigations. Things that may or may not be true. He also said this, "There is a GAP between what the DOJ has been doing and what the public knows."
That says it all. I have been trying to make this point for months at DU. We are getting only one side of the story. People, prosecutors come on the news and give their opinion about the investigations. Garland, DOJ cannot respond because of grand jury rules.
A reporter, a news organization, reports a story about the investigations. It gets people angry, they draw conclusions that may or may not be true. Garland, DOJ cannot respond because of grand jury rules.
I have been saying from the beginning we have to wait to see what happens in the investigations. Nobody knows fully what is going on accept for Garland, DOJ. To draw conclusions about something without both sides of the story will lead to mistakes, false accusations.
We have all seen this happening for months.
