Attorney General Merrick Garland emphasized a commitment to accountability following the Capitol assault, despite the looming presence of Donald Trump, who may undermine these values.
Garland asserted that the Justice Department is facing a significant challenge in maintaining its independence and integrity, especially as political forces threaten its impartial enforcement of the law.
He noted that many voters seemingly disregard the importance of the rule of law, as Trump's actions against law enforcement were not enough to sway their opinions during the election.
The overall trust in the Justice Department is deteriorating, reflecting a wider institutional malaise within a society increasingly hostile to established systems and governance.
