That Garland will do the right thing in prosecuting Trump.

Using their deliberate, methodical approach to investigations and prosecutions, DOJ has a 97% conviction rate. I’d like to see that continue.

It’s not DOJ’s job to do it’s best, lay out it’s case, and “let the American People decide”; that would be politicizing a prosecution. DOJ’s job is to gather all relevant evidence, present it coherently, and obtain a unanimous guilty verdict from 12 jurors.
