The Attorney General is the People’s lead attorney.
We are his clients.
If he isn’t communicating with us, he isn’t talking to his clients. That is insufficient.

And for every attorney who is now going to reflexively run into my mentions to insist an AG cant talk to the public because of <reasons>, that is utter bullshit.
There is absolutely nothing barring an AG from speaking about overall priorities above individual cases.

And there is absolutely nothing whatsoever barring an Attorney General or Department of Justice from staffing a competent communications office fronted by a compelling spokesperson.

Merrick Garland behaves like a judge.
That is not his role.
He is a public-facing senior leader whose job absolutely includes seeing to it that people understand and have faith in his priorities and work.

He is acting like a judge.
He is not a judge.
He is an Attorney General.
He can either become competent in this role or be replaced by someone who is.
An AG who inspires no public faith in justice is failing. Period.
