had not won in November, I suspect that Garland would be remembered as one of the better AGs. Of course, considering the republican administrations having an Ed Meese or Bill Barr lowered the bar over all. Might a different AG have been more aggressive? Sure. Within the top people in the DOJ, there were some who wanted to go at the felon more aggressively -- some very much so.

Bureaucracies are known to resist change. The felon had done damage to it, by having it focus on his needs, rather than honoring the concept that the AG/DOJ should serve the American people. In that sense, Garland was a good choice to restore order. But I can appreciate some people's opinion that the J6 Committee's investigation showed that the felon had been so public in his lawlessness, that Garland might have focused on him right away. If not on that Harley, at least with Buford Pusser's stick.
