This guy is a bit of a clown. He declined to label Antifa attacks on federal buildings as domestic terrorism b/c, get this , the attacks happened at night when the buildings were closed. This is America, where the party in control is afraid of a bunch of asshats wearing black.

"“An attack on a courthouse while in operation, trying to prevent judges from trying cases, that plainly is domestic extremism, domestic terrorism,” Garland said. “An attack simply on a government property at night or under other circumstances is a clear crime, and a serious one, and should be punished.”

Such a garbage answer. If the place burns down or sustains enough damage during a nighttime attack, the process will be disrupted. But he knows this, and he knows that Antifa operate primarily at night when they do these things, and he gets to dodge calling them domestic terrorists. Ick.
