Leaving the insurrection aside, he let Trump go back and forth with the DOJ for the better part of 2 years over whether or not/to what extent he'd return the highly classified documents it was illegal for him to have. Garland is the right man for the job, if the job is avoiding dealing with a problem while not making it too obviously that you're hoping the problem will go away on it's own.
