NYT: Biden’s vow to allow the Justice Department to operate free from political pressure will soon be tested (Hunter)
NYT ^ | March 10 | By Katie Benner

WASHINGTON — President Biden’s nominees to fill out the Justice Department’s leadership ranks pledged at their confirmation hearing on Tuesday to tackle domestic extremism, racial inequality and other thorny issues within the bounds of the law, seeking to restore order to a department battered by political attacks during the Trump administration.

Lisa Monaco, a Justice Department veteran and national security expert nominated to be deputy attorney general, and Vanita Gupta, a civil rights lawyer known for her criminal justice overhaul work tapped as the department’s No. 3, told the Senate Judiciary Committee that they were committed to ensuring that the department meted out equal justice under the law.

They also praised the 115,000 employees of the Justice Department for carrying out their work fairly and impartially — comments that stood in contrast to accusations by former President Donald J. Trump and former Attorney General William P. Barr that career employees could not be trusted to uphold the rule of law.

Mr. Biden’s vow to allow the department to operate free from political pressure will soon be tested in cases that Ms. Monaco would oversee. The U.S. attorney’s office in Delaware is investigating Mr. Biden’s son Hunter on suspicion of federal tax fraud, and the U.S. attorney’s office in Minneapolis is carrying out a civil rights investigation into the death of George Floyd, the Black man whose death last year after a police officer knelt on his neck set off nationwide protests.

Oh shut the hell up, NY Times, you slobbering sycophants.

You know that nobody at Justice will actually investigate Biden or his corrupt pedophile crackhead bagman son.

He the current mascot for the home team and you're nothing but legspreading cheerleaders.

Dems always tell us what they’ll do in the promises they make. Assuming the opposite is always the correct interpretation. Clinton’s “the most ethical admin...,” obama’s “the most transparent admin...” Now this.

The hardcore Democrats who staff the DOJ, who just spent 5.5 years trying to get rid of Trump by any means possible, won’t need 1 micronewton of pressure from Biden to “do the right thing”.

Political attacks during the trump years eh? How about baseless attacks on the president?? That department should be reduced to agency status and its primary bureau reduced to district status as addendums to us attorneys.

Ever since poor Hunter found $84,000 under his pillow from the Burisma tooth fairy, its been touch and go for crackhead Hunter.

Joe and Hunter Biden are busily scanning the Democrats taxpayers’ shakedown (AKA Covid Relief Bill) .

The Bidens need a way to force taxpayers to pay back Simon and Schuster the $3 million they gave Hunter for the (cough) book deal.

That’s worth plenty to the Bidens—— S/S resurrected Hunter from a slow and sure political death.

S/S will get a federal bundle for $ure.

“For The People” has already been used....so look for Biden heralding his “For The Children” Bill.

The Republicans covered for him for four years.

The FBi has been covering for him.

You think all that I’d going to be thrown away?

The guy in Delaware is a Biden shill. Notice what all he’s not investigating.

It’s a Tax Settlement, BS, Coverup,

Biden have made Billions. They’ve made more than small countries with the Foreign Country scam.

Note: Baby Biden was advised to register as a Foreign Agent, and Crack Hunter said, they won’t bother me.

I think we have seen enough of the DOJ in the last 8 years to know how this test will go.
