Merrick Garland actually said...

"the Justice Department would bring justice to everybody who was criminally responsible for interfering with the peaceful transfer of power."

"he did not talk about the investigation being limited to what happened on January 6. He deliberately described the investigation as the illegal transfer of power."

"The reason there is this speculation and uncertainty is that some fundamental tenet of what we do as prosecutors and investigators, is to do it outside of the public eye."

"We may have some information they don't have, and they may have some information we don't have and we're hoping to hoover all of that up."
