It clearly states that both (a) AND (b) make up the grounds to appoint a special counsel. If either one of them is absent, an AG is prevented from appointing a special counsel.

How does a pledge of being non-partisan, which is in Garland's job description, in any way constitute conflict of interests? What he stated is self-evident. It was stated for the benefit of his detractors who were quick to accuse him of partisanship. And that includes his detractors who promoted a ridiculous notion that him claiming to be non-partisan in itself constitutes partisanship.
