directly under attorney general designate merrick garland, two women of collar, kristen clark and venita gupta have attracted fairly rabid attacks from republicans at this point. we'll see what happens to their nominations as well even as merrick garland seems to be moving forward. we'll see if joe manchin decides if he doesn't like them for some reason. at the justice department, we'll have more ahead this hour on the proverbial burning wreckage that all the biden appointees will be walking into at the justice department and the challenges ahead with the prosecutions related to the january 6th capital attack. there was an interesting and sort of surprise announcement made today about who's going to be taking a key job in the biden justice department that will have an important relationship not only to the january 6th arrest and prosecutions but also to a bunch of the cases that ended up in a weird semi legal limbo after what appears to have been improper influence, improper political influence on justice department decisions under the trump administration. a new appointee announced today for

today we had a hearing with lisa monaco who is aspiring to be his deputy attorney general, venita gupta who is aspiring to be his associate attorney general, and later we will have a hearing on kristen clark who wishes to be assistant attorney general for civil rights. this is an exceptionally well qualified team of d.o.j. veterans eager to serve. when the committee reported judge garland's nomination, i am happy to report that four republicans joined all the democrats, making it a bipartisan roll call. i think it's worth quoting again. here's what judge garland said. quote, i come from a family where my grandparents fled anti-semitism and persecution. the country took us in and protected it. i feel an obligation to the country to pay back, and this is the highest best use of my own set of skills to do it. judge garland's motivation for serving his nation as the next attorney general is powerful, it's honest, and it's humble. i want to close by becoming full circle, so to speak. at judge garland's hearing, i noteed that if confirmed, he would be standing on the shoulders of predecessors
