Jonathan Turley has declared Attorney General Merrick Garland to be a “failure,” based on the fact that he has not restored public trust in the Department of Justice.
Merrick Garland began his tenure as attorney general with the stated intention of restoring faith in the Justice Department and the rule of law. By that standard, Garland has been a failure.
In fact, if anything, the crisis of faith surrounding his department has only deepened on his watch, and he bears some of the blame.Garland could have taken steps to assure the public that there is not a two-tiered system of justice but repeatedly refused to do so. For example, Garland has continued to refuse to appoint a special counsel in the investigation of Hunter Biden.
Turley also knocks Garland for failing to reassure the public about the problem of political bias at the Department of Justice in the wake of the; for allowing the department to pursue parents who objected at school board meetings to ideological indoctrination; for doing nothing to restrain the overzealous prosecution of non-violent participants in the Capitol riot of January 6, 2021; and for appointing radicals to key positions.
