But I don't think I ever said anything like that myself. I was always on Team Wait-and-See, because I didn't think any of us was in a position to fairly judge what Garland might or might not be doing from the outside looking in. I'll admit that I never suspected Garland, the FBI, or the DOJ as a whole of actually avoiding investigating Trump, and I now see that was naive of me. Mea culpa! 
If public opinion is what led to Garland's appointing Jack Smith and giving him the authority to fully investigate Trump, then yay for public opinion! And yay for the House J6 Committee conducting those televised hearings, which I imagine were what really blew the lid off the whole thing by greatly increasing public awareness of what happened an J6, as well as Trump's personal involvement with that and with trying to change the election results in various ways.
I think one thing Garland did do right was picking Jack Smith for this job, although it seems clear now that he should have done it much sooner. Smith seems to know what he's doing and is apparently moving as fast as possible and with full awareness of the calendar. And of course, Trump has now been indicted for the documents case, at least. Regardless of what mistakes Garland may have made earlier on, things are headed in right direction now, and I am hopeful that it's not too late.
