5 Republican Senators Write Letter to AG Claiming 'Unequal Justice' of Capitol Rioters Compared to Protesters
Newsweek ^ | 06/08/21 | Emma Mayer

Posted on 06/09/2021 12:45:19 AM PDT by Robwin

Five Republican senators wrote a letter to U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland to discuss their concern of "unequal justice" for the prosecution of Capitol rioters in comparison to some demonstrators during the social justice protests in 2020.

Signed by Senators Ron Johnson, Tommy Tuberville, Mike Lee, Rick Scott and Ted Cruz, the letter highlighted a few instances of disruption by protests that may have resulted in unequal justice in the prosecution of those involved. They requested "information about our concerns regarding potential unequal justice administered in response to other recent instances of mass unrest, destruction, and loss of life throughout the United States."

...

"DOJ's apparent unwillingness to punish these individuals who allegedly committed crimes in the spring and summer 2020 protests stands in stark contrast to the harsher treatment of the individuals charged in connection with the January 6, 2021 breach of the US Capitol building in Washington D.C.," according to the letter.

The customary "progressive" double standard is glaringly evident when it comes to the relative treatment of both groups. It's disgusting.

Or compare to the occupation of the Capitol during Kavanaugh hearings.

This is what totalitarian regimes do.

Garland is a leftist little shit. Just image if he had been voted onto the Supreme Court. Somebody knew something about him that was detrimental to America. Now he’s proving it.

Yep. It's shameful when Czar Vlad actually has a valid point about American justice, or the lack thereof.

It is not going to change.

This is life under communism. They use law enforcement to harass and revoke “rights” from political opponents.

There will be no rescue, no gotcha moment where we uncover the fraud, there will be no reversal.

This is not TV where there is a happy ending.

This is communism. They are prepared. If voter fraud is found, it will be contained, minimized and discredited. The media and entertainment will help. Social media will censor.

Some elected Republicans will make noise, but they have no power and will do nothing.

This is permanent, folks.

I know what life is like under communism and this is it. Keep watching your rights slip away.

They will use fear to keep you silent. Your neighbors already report you. Law enforcement will harass you under the guise of “checks”.

Look at the woman in NJ who need to go to court for having anti-Biden signs on her house. They know that only a communist judge would fine her. But she needs a lawyer and her name is made public so the mobs can assault and harass her.

This is not getting better, folks. We live under communism now.

Why weren’t they writing that DS swamp super hero Barr, when he was giving every Antifa/BLM thug a free pass? How about that other backstabbing GOP Judas, Wray? I need a program to differentiate Uniparty Team R players from Uniparty Team D players.

They forgot to take away our guns first, and they forgot what happens to the leadership in failed communist regimes.....

I’m happy to see that this is finally getting some attention from our elected representatives…there needs to be more on the list. Senators, Reps, even the state government level elected representatives of the protesters, etc. should all be speaking out.

Exactly what I’m thinking, why wasn’t this signed by every republican in DC and done long ago?

Garland should be removed. He was cancelled as a SCOTUS jurist and carries a grudge.

He became a Domestic enemy as a result of his vindictive attitude

Thank you for the black pill. Are you suggesting that there is no hope? That everyone just surrender? Perhaps mass suicide? Or maybe just be a good communist and enjoy it?

Not being snarky. Just trying to get a positive, or at least constructive vibe out of your comment somewhere.

I see nothing positive in the current state of things.

I see nothing that is going to change what has happened and the direction we are heading.

If there was some strategy or path back to liberty, then I would have hope. But the people of this nation are hopelessly addicted to socialism and are allowing communism to grow.

We are run by a Politburo. If the party leaders say X is fact, then there is nothing we can do against it. Our words mean nothing in the scheme of things. Our actions are branded "insurrection". Our posts are censored. The news is Pravda.

We are living in communism now. What did any communist nation do to escape? Nothing. They had to wait for it to collapse.
