The anecdotes aren't to suggest Garland did something illegal or improper. But they do show that DOJ officials have discretion beyond the courtroom to talk expansively about ongoing probes despite Garland's claim Thursday that he was constrained from sharing any information about the Trump raid.
Again, nothing illegal. But clear evidence that a Republican got a non-answer from Wray about an ongoing probe, while a Democrat got more robust detail and responsiveness.
The performances of Wray and Garland have drawn indignation from some Republicans, who have dozens of oversight letters seeking answers that have gone unanswered.
