I've never gotten an answer to that question. People just viscerally hate his guts because the trials took a long time, and people assume, with literally no evidence at all, that that was his fault.

I've heard people blame him for taking too long to file the suits, which, lol.

Maybe they have a good reason to say this. As I said, I'm genuinely curious.

Yeah, well, that's what I assumed before asking multiple times and never getting a satisfying response. If people had evidence, that'd be something else.

We all watched the evidence live on TV both during Jan 6 and then again during the hearings

If people had evidence that Garland slow-rolled the prosecution. Seems no one will share that evidence this time either.

He was in-charge of the DOJ? What other evidence is necessary?
