While Republicans are unhappy that AG Garland had been going after Trump and other conservatives, Biden and other Democrats are unhappy at his ineffectiveness.
A Politico report from last month cited White House insiders claiming that if Biden wins, Garland won't get a second term because he didn't do enough to insulate the Biden family from investigations and that he didn't move the Trump investigation along fast enough.
The Times describes Garland giving directions to the DOJ campaign against Trump through L. Rush Atkinson, a former Mueller investigation prosecutor now serving as "a senior counselor to Mr. Garland whose work for the special counsel Robert S. Mueller III offered valuable insight."
The Jack Smith investigation was actually the work of a secret unit within the DOJ that formed because Biden and AG Garland were unhappy that the investigation that followed existing laws wasn't working.
Last October, Garland had told 60 Minutes that "I would resign" before agreeing to political pressure from Biden to go after Trump.
Garland claimed in October that Biden "Has never tried to put hands on these investigations." Four months later, we learned that Biden wanted Garland gone for not doing what his boss wanted.
Stories about the bad relations between Biden and Garland describe the attorney general's alleged "Vaunted independence" or "Democrats close to Biden fear Garland has become too consumed by that instruction to appear impartial", but AG Garland wasn't being independent or impartial, he just had trouble doing the impossible.
