Merrick Garland actually said...

"no one is above the law."

"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 will hold accountable anyone who was criminally responsible or attempting to interfere with the transfer -- legitimate lawful transfer of power from one administration to the next."
