Who during his 1,000 days in office, prioritized:
January 6th investigations:
Garland has repeatedly described the prosecution of those involved in the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol as one of the most resource-intensive investigations in the department's history. As of early 2025, the DOJ had charged more than 1,500 individuals and obtained numerous convictions.
Violent crime:
Combating violent crime, particularly gun violence, has been a major priority. Garland has frequently cited the use of data-driven strategies and partnerships with state and local law enforcement.
Corporate and health care fraud:
The DOJ ramped up its use of data analytics to identify and prosecute fraud cases, particularly in the health care industry. It has also initiated a high number of False Claims Act cases on its own, not solely relying on whistleblower complaints.
Data analytics for foreign corruption:
In late 2023, the DOJ announced it was using data analytics to proactively identify and prosecute foreign corruption cases, a new approach for this type of enforcement.
Antitrust enforcement:
In May 2024, the DOJ filed a major lawsuit against Live Nation-Ticketmaster to break up the company's alleged monopoly, signaling a focus on antitrust cases in the entertainment industry.
All the above while running eight major DOJ divisions and five federal law enforcement agencies of 115,000 employees, and coordinating enforcement across 50 countries, during which he still got 1,270 Jan 6 convictions out of 1,500 DOJ cases.
Name even one, just one, lawyer in this country who could have run the DOJ better for 1,000 days. You can't.
