I quoted part of that interview in another thread specifically because it seemed to me that Garland was emphatically saying that anyone – no matter who it is – who was criminally responsible for the events of Jan 6 or found to be “attempting to interfere with the lawful transfer of power from one administration to another” will be held accountable.
I suppose the salient question here is whether Garland was just flapping his mouth for purposes of a sound bite, or whether he can be taken at his word.
