Joe Biden’s Dept of Justice – Merrick Garland was AG In Name Only for a Specific Reason
The Conservative Treehouse - The Last Refuge ^ | May 17, 2025 | Sundance

Posted on 05/18/2025 10:06:44 AM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

There has been a lot of discussion about who was running the Biden administration against the backdrop of numerous revelations about his cognitive incapacity while in office.  However, one key point keeps being overlooked about the DOJ during his tenure.

Merrick Garland was not selected to be Joe Biden’s Attorney General because the crew in control of the events wanted Merrick Garland as Attorney General.  Garland was removed from his position as DC Circuit Court Justice in order to make room for Ketanji Brown-Jackson to take Garland’s place, get Senate confirmed and then await the resignation of Supreme Court Justice Stephen Bryer. {GO DEEP}

As a standalone Supreme Court nominee, Judge Ketanji Brown-Jackson would have been a radical pick.  Judge Brown-Jackson was a known activist in the DC District Court; however, by removing Garland as chief circuit justice and replacing him with KBJ, who needed Senate confirmation as chief circuit justice, she could get through a later Senate confirmation easier and then sit on the Supreme Court for thirty years.  Garland was removed to make room for KBJ.  It was a strategy.

Garland was a U.S. Attorney General in name only.  The actual lead of the DOJ was from Obama’s crew, Deputy AG Lisa Monaco.

WHY?

Back in 2009 President Obama selected Eric Holder to be Attorney General.  AG Holder’s role was to lead the Lawfare ‘fundamental transformation’ we have seen in the 16 years since.  In the 2010 midterms, Obama was “shellacked,” that triggered AG Holder to ask the Treasury Department to participate in a “special research project.” {Go Deep}

The IRS was asked for the Schedule-B’s of groups who were registered as “patriot” groups (Tea Party Patriots) and other names associated with the political uprising against Barack Obama and the takeover of federal healthcare, ie Obamacare.   The Cincinnati field office of the IRS then sent the DOJ a batch of CD-ROM’s containing the names of the individual donors listed on the IRS 501-c (3)(4) forms.  That list was then compiled and used by the federal government to target the donors and supporters.  A whistleblower came forward; the IRS controversy swirled in 2012.

On September 25, 2014, the Justice Department said Attorney General Eric Holder would resign as soon as his successor is confirmed. Holder was succeeded by Loretta Lynch on April 27, 2015. Lynch was selected because she was the bridge to Hillary Clinton’s campaign in 2016. Remember the Bill Clinton and Loretta Lynch tarmac meeting?  It’s all connected.

[Sidebar – the reporter who broke the story of the Arizona Clinton/Lynch tarmac meeting later died from “suicide.”]

Summary so far:  Obama appointed Holder to lead and create the weaponized Lawfare transition within Main Justice.  Eric Holder did just that, and also created the DOJ-National Security Division (to use FARA investigations against DC operatives as leverage).  Holder then left the DOJ, took the special research project data, and went to work in California.  Loretta Lynch was then appointed as the transitional AG between Obama and Hillary Clinton.  That was the plan.  The DOJ/FBI would protect Clinton’s interests, and that’s exactly what they did in 2015 and 2016.

Eric Holder was then hired by the State of California right after the surprising and unexpected election result of 2016 [LINK].  Eric Holder then began constructing the BETA test for what was to come later.  Eric Holder organized the motor-voter rolls in California to auto-register illegal alien voters.  The California legislature passed a law permitting illegal aliens to get drivers licenses.  Eric Holder’s program linked those drivers licenses automatically to voter registration.  Do you remember the 2018 mid-term election in California?

For weeks after 2018 election day in California, the new process of mail-in ballots changed the entire election day outcome.  California was the BETA test for the national 2020 mail-in ballot fraud system.  It all links back to the California ballot and illegal alien voter registration operation carried out by Eric Holder.

Eric Holder was Obama’s weaponized Attorney General (2009-2015).  Loretta Lynch was the Attorney General in place to facilitate the transition to Hillary Clinton (2015-2016). Merrick Garland was Biden’s Attorney General (2021) to pave the way for Ketanji Brown-Jackson to be a U.S. Supreme Court Justice (2022).  Lisa Monaco was the person running the day-to-day DOJ operations (2021-2025).

KBJ was put into the planning book back in February 2020yes, 2020!

It was February 25th, 2020, to be precise, just four days before the South Carolina Democrat primary.  South Carolina Representative James Clyburn went backstage at the presidential debate and told Biden, “You’ve had a couple of opportunities to mention naming a Black woman to the Supreme Court,” Clyburn lectured his friend of nearly half a century, like a schoolteacher scolding a child. “I’m telling you, don’t you leave the stage tonight without making it known that you will do that.” {link}

Unbeknownst to Biden at the time, just two days earlier Barack Obama and James Clyburn came to an agreement and created the most consequential alliance of the 2020 Democrat campaign.  Barack Obama the figurative and ideological leader of the movement known as “Black Lives Matter”, and James Clyburn the figurative and ideological leader of the political construct within the African Methodist Episcopal (AME) church, had struck a deal.

Obama and Clyburn really had no choice but to come to an agreement and form the alliance.  If they did not act fast, Bernie Sanders was gaining momentum, and they could not have Sanders at the top of the 2020 ticket, because he was too outside the club system which was now almost exclusively focused on racial identity as a tool for political power.

A Bernie Sanders -vs- Donald Trump general election would have been a disaster; and it would be almost impossible for the racial operatives in the key precincts [Atlanta (GA), Philly (PA), Clark County (NV), Wayne County (Mich), Madison (WI)] to feel inspired enough to risk themselves and commit fraud to help Bernie win.

To get rid of Sanders, BLM and AME aligned.  This was the actual moment when Hillary Clinton was cast into the pit of irrelevance in Democrat politics.

Within the agreement, Obama and Clyburn selected Biden as the tool they could easily control to deliver on their larger, progressive, leftist intentions.

A few days later, James Clyburn then endorsed Biden while Barack Obama began making phone calls telling each of the other candidates to drop out in sequence and support Biden or else the club would destroy them.  The only one told not to drop out yet was Elizabeth Warren, as she would be needed as the insurance policy, the splitter against Bernie Sanders.

Each of the candidates was promised the traditional indulgences for toeing the party line, and the rest is history.  Joe Biden wandered around doing what everyone told him to do, which was mostly stay in his basement and let the club work on his behalf, until the club delivered the nomination.

Inside that process, the strategic map was modified to ensure Ketanji Brown-Jackson would advance to the Supreme Court.

With Biden installed, he would select Merrick Garland as his Attorney General.  Judge Garland was an important judge on the important DC Circuit Court.  Garland’s replacement would need to be a Senate confirmed seat for that Circuit Court assignment. Brown-Jackson would be put into Garland’s open spot, and the Senate could not deny her the SCOTUS confirmation, having just confirmed her months before. {Go Deep}

It was always the team around -and including- Barack Obama operating in the background of Biden.

Not to ignore the main point of this article, but this point is important: the Democrats scheme and work to place radicals and activists on the courts, including the highest court in the land. We listen to pablum from the Federalist Society and fight to get weak reeds like Amy Coney Barrett on the high court, where they promptly betray us.

We never learn. If Trump gets to make another SC nomination, that person must be a "radical activist" for the Right. No more Barretts, no more Kavanaughs, no more Roberts.

California is a one-party state, NOT because the voters are stupid (well, some are) but because elections are rigged through many such fraudulent means

It would have to be either Steve Bannon or Stephen Miller.

Otherwise, he'll be more likely to be Michael Pence. He would rather be a part of the Swamp.

Now that you're saying it, I think Alito and Thomas are less likely to retire now. So far, Trump is 0-3.

Both Bushes were 1-2. In baseball, they have a .500 batting average.

Garland was selected as AG as a stick in the eye to Republicans who derailed his SCOTUS nomination. Garland did all the partisan dirty work the Dems asked him to do. He proved to be the Dem party hack that we thought he would be.

I don’t understand this convoluted article.

But I know that Merrick Garland (who was a Harvard commencement speaker a few years ago) is Harvard’s disgrace, and Ketanji Brown-Jackson is America’s disgrace!

Sounds like what happened under Lyndon Johnson. Ramsey Clark, a left wing nut, and a nut generally irrespective of his political leanings, was named AG to force his father, Tom Clark, who was AG under Truman, to resign from the Supreme Court to pave the way for Thurgood Marshall.

I don’t think obama is smart enough to be masterminding anything this complex.

I think President Trump is positioning Judge Jeanine Pirro for the Supreme Court.

I know less after reading this article then I knew before.

It reads like an AI just randomly threw names into paragraphs.

Well, the fact that neither is a lawyer kills the idea dead. You don’t have to be, but I can’t imagine that the Senate would bite on that offering. Bannon: to old at 71. A drunk and a loose cannon. Miller. I love the guy. But too polarizing and none of the squishes would vote to confirm.

Cruz or DeSantis

Summary:

Building and keeping a republic is difficult.

Demolishing a republic is easy.

“Joe Biden’s Dept of Justice – Merrick Garland was AG In Name Only for a Specific Reason”

Just like Joe Biden was President in name only.
