32. And it's impossible to find anything about his personal political leanings...

...but based on his lack of urgency (at the least) concerning the very urgent need for investigations and justice of Jan 6th alone, it is clear he is not fit for the Justice department.

He may be trying to hide behind an air of being 'non-political' in his decision-making, but his lack of decisive action on a time-sensitive issue of national importance is more than just frustrating, his inaction was political in itself and at best, dangerously irresponsible.
