Attorney General Garland promised that everybody would be held to the same set of rules in a rebuke of the corruption and double standard for Trump and his friends under the previous administration. Garland also talked about civil rights and protecting America from enemies both foreign and domestic.

The corruption is gone. The DOJ will have its independence restored, as the nation now has an attorney general for the people.
