That is under HER jurisdiction - her Court is under the 11th Circuit.
And yes, I am still not interested in the cases against the Capital mob.
I have posted this as well (which will be ignored because it doesn't fit "the narrative" ) - https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1014&pid=3243366
Inside Garland’s Effort to Prosecute Trump
By Glenn Thrush and Adam Goldman
Reporting from Washington
Published March 22, 2024 Updated March 27, 2024
After being sworn in as attorney general in March 2021, Merrick B. Garland gathered his closest aides to discuss a topic too sensitive to broach in bigger groups: the possibility that evidence from the far-ranging Jan. 6 investigation could quickly lead to former President Donald J. Trump and his inner circle. At the time, some in the Justice Department were pushing for the chance to look at ties between pro-Trump rioters who assaulted the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, his allies who had camped out at the Willard Hotel, and possibly Mr. Trump himself.
Mr. Garland said he would place no restrictions on their work, even if the “evidence leads to Trump,” according to people with knowledge of several conversations held over his first months in office. “Follow the connective tissue upward,” said Mr. Garland, adding a directive that would eventually lead to a dead end: “Follow the money.” With that, he set the course of a determined and methodical, if at times dysfunctional and maddeningly slow, investigation that would yield the indictment of Mr. Trump on four counts of election interference in August 2023.

People around Mr. Garland, who like others interviewed for this article spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss Justice Department affairs, say there would be no case against Mr. Trump had Mr. Garland not acted decisively. And any perception that the department had made Mr. Trump a target from the outset, without exploring other avenues, would have doomed the investigation. “Don’t confuse thoughtful with unduly cautious,” said a former deputy attorney general, Jamie S. Gorelick, who sent Mr. Garland, then her top aide, to oversee the prosecution of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing. “He was fearless. You could see it then, and you could see it when he authorized the search at Mar-a-Lago.”
Mr. Garland’s allies point to how, by the summer of 2021, the attorney general and his powerful deputy, Lisa O. Monaco, were so frustrated with the pace of the work that they created a team to investigate Trump allies who gathered at the Willard Hotel ahead of Jan. 6 — John Eastman, Boris Epshteyn, Rudolph W. Giuliani and Roger J. Stone Jr. — and possible connections to the Trump White House, according to former officials. That team would lay the groundwork for the investigation that Mr. Smith would take over as special counsel a year and a half later. But a host of factors, some in Mr. Garland’s control, others not, slowed things down.

If you didn't even know that "indictments" ARE "charges" and pooh-pooh it when someone tries to help you with that, then how can you understand anything else related to the legal things going on with any of these cases?

Garland should have dropped the charges on Nauta and Deoliver (or whatever this criminal's name is)

So should a Bailiff go into her Courtroom, haul her out in handcuffs, and lock her up for judicial misconduct

There is no case for immunity. He wasn't in office then. Unless they are able

Why not just give the report to President Biden and let him release it.

DOJ should just release everything now and not worry about being stopped by TCF later
