    Just curious, why do you think Biden has to do anything? There’s teams of people in charge of enforcing laws that don’t need the president to tell them what to do. A CEO doesn’t tell everyone under him what to do. He just expects them to do their job to the best they’re able.

      Because I know who Merrick Garland is and have observed his behavior over the last four years?

      It’s legit one of the few areas I agree with Biden:

      In recent weeks, President Biden has grumbled to aides and advisers that had Garland moved sooner in his investigation into former President Donald Trump’s election interference, a trial may already be underway or even have concluded, according to two people granted anonymity to discuss private matters. That trial still could take place before the election and much of the delay is owed not to Garland but to deliberate resistance put up by the former president and his team.

      Although I disagree with Biden on his path forward. Rather than replace Garland, his plan is to grumble to aids and adversers that Garland doesn’t do what he wants, I believe Biden should have never appointed him in the first, and can offer no plausible explanation for why he hasn’t been replaced other Biden is (say it with me) unwilling to fight fascism as hard as it needs to be fought.

          What?

          You want me to drop a specific name?

          If you really want me to I can look at the DOJ top chain of command and find at least one that seems willing to do their job if you really wanted, but I’m not sure why you’d expect me to have a list of candidate prepared for you.

          Do you want me to see if they have time for mock interviews too?

          I could name drop it’s for you if you think it’ll help, but frankly I’m worried no one will reach back out…
