      • U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland at the White House on June 23, 2021 in Washington, DC.

        Merrick Garland, get tougher on the insurrectionists

        Opinion by Elie Honig
        At his confirmation hearing in February 2021, Attorney General Merrick Garland said all the right things about the January 6 Capitol insurrection. He vowed to fully prosecute the "heinous attack that sought to disrupt a cornerstone of our democracy." When asked if he would look "upstream" to hold accountable the people who had organized and incited the insurrection, Garland vowed to "pursue these leads wherever they take us."
