After taking on the role as attorney general, Merrick B. Garland emphasized the importance of thoroughly investigating anyone, even if evidence pointed to former President Trump, stating he wanted no restrictions on their inquiries. "Follow the connective tissue upward," Garland directed, insisting that investigators should chase every lead, regardless of where it may lead, indicating a clear intent to hold accountable anyone involved in the events surrounding January 6th."
Despite some claiming that Merrick Garland delayed investigations into Trump affiliates, reports suggest he was proactive upon his appointment, quickly considering potential connections to the January 6th insurrection. This included readiness to explore ties between the rioters and Trump associates, highlighting his focus on accountability and thorough investigative processes from the very beginning of his tenure.
