Joyce stated exactly how we feel. No, the DOJ that Trump and Barr corrupted certainly does *not* yet have a "wellspring of trust" with the public—We, the People—yet. And the bad decisions it's made under Garland are demoralizing. Protecting govt power instead of protecting us.😖

So many reasons NOT, it is a Rape Crime from before he was President #1, he’s guilty #2 , he’s a twice Impeached President for only 2 of his Massive amount of Crime #3 and he’s still actively Committing Terrorism for which the @DOJPH should be charging him for #BarrKilledEpstien

Yet another *rump admin sinkhole. Very disappointing.

Yes, people have lost faith. Garland needs to take measures to restore it, before even staunch Patriots give up on democracy.

Why do these situations that look cut-and-dried simple to most of us seem to require complex answers that don't make sense to most of us? Unfortunately, this looks and sounds too much like Trump! That's not good!

When something is broken you punish the people who broke it, not defend them. Americans don’t care if it’s “legally sound” we want the people in power TO DO THE RIGHT THING! It is not the right thing to help a rape suspect to suppress evidence. ITS NOT THAT COMPLICATED!

Garland has, up till today, only taken bad decisions, and it’s very deceiving

What if you deliberately took ownership of a legal case so you could give it a bare bones or breachable ‘defence’?

Does this mean no Federal employee can be sued? If POTUS murders someone in cold blood, does he not have to sit for a deposition, provide DNA, sit for a trial? Just curious, did the DOJ represent @BillClinton in his defamation case with Paula Jones?

She said nothing! Absolutely nothing! I listened and I have no clearer idea of a)why this was a difficult desicion and b)why they would decide they would have to defend #FormerGuy. What an absurd decision.
