Why didn't Merrick Garland tell the truth about the FBI's Guy Fawkes obsession?

Thank goodness Merrick Garland was never allowed onto the Supreme Court.

The former federal judge and current United States attorney general is being savaged for what definitely looks like false testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee last month about the targeting of traditionalist Catholic parishes by the FBI.

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) penned the letter above, recounting specific questions he had asked Garland about an FBI document identifying Latin Mass Catholics as a potential terrorist threat. That document, which DOJ has since rescinded as "not meeting standards" for the FBI, was essentially cribbed from a 15-year-old fundraising appeal by the Southern Poverty Law Center. The origin of the document was spotted by a traditionalist Catholic podcaster because of the out-of-date information it contained.

SPLC, known for aligning itself with, and inspiring, violent left-wing extremists, has previously been forced to settle for, and is currently being sued for, defaming individuals and groups for "hate." That such an ancient tract from such an extreme organization should become the basis of an FBI intelligence document is itself quite revealing. But when asked about whether the FBI was "cultivating sources and spies in Latin mass parishes and other Catholic parishes around the country," Garland was completely unwavering and categorical with his denial:

"No, the Justice Department does not do that. It does not do investigations based on religion."

Perhaps Garland should have been more careful about how he answered this question because the House Judiciary Committee has since unearthed evidence that it isn't true.

My theory is that this could have been an attempt to put together another false flag operation like the Governor Whitmer kidnapping. Most participants would be FBI or paid informants, but they need at least one church member to be implicated for the smear job on Christians to be successful.

Lawyers, I mean liars -- lie through acts of commission and omission. Garland fits the bill in spades.

Garland needs to be impeached. At least it will keep his anti-American ass busy not destroying our country.

“Thank goodness Merrick Garland was never allowed onto the Supreme Court.”

You can say that again. Put one of those bishop’s hats on him and he would be a dead ringer for Roland Freisler.
