What do Kyle Rittenhouse, Donald Trump, Nick Sandmann, Mark Houck, Sarah Comrie (the so-called “Bike Karen”) and Daniel Penny all have in common?
All of them are victims of the “two-tiered justice system” and the leftist media court of public opinion. Conservatives often protest this double standard, understandably since none of these people committed any crime. Attorney General Merrick Garland’s Justice Department has effectively become a symbol for this kind of persecution in tandem with its local lackeys, criminal foot soldiers and the corporate press.
Crying about double standards or “two-tiered justice,” however, misses the point. There is no “double standard” — only a hierarchy without you in it. Their persecution of everyone from political opponents to everyday people is designed to remind you that they are the elite and you exist at their pleasure.
To enforce this new hierarchy, Garland and his allies have created a new category of criminal straight out of the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917: the “political criminal.”
Soviet dissident Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn wrote in Gulag Archipelago (pg. 505 if you’re interested) that in the early days of the USSR, thieves and murderers were often treated with kid gloves. They could be rehabilitated, the party line went, and they were often allowed to commit crime if they targeted the right people.
Not so for anyone considered a “political criminal,” either directly or by association. Those people eventually ended up in the GULAG. Now this might seem unsurprising, until you realize that the crime of opposing the state could be something as simple as having more money than your neighbor, belonging to the wrong ethnic group, being Christian or simply existing.

I am sure this has existed for a long time. But now it is so blatant and they don’t even try to hide it.
Too late, I am already part of it.
Merrick Garland is PURE EVIL!!! DEMONIC!! he needs some GOD in his DISGUSTING LIFE!
He’s most definitely defining a new criminal class. He’s at the head of that class.
Thank You, Mitch McConnell for keeping him off the Supreme Court.
That’s what happens when you allow Mr. Demento Pedo to put unemployed carnival sideshow freaks to work in his Dung Beetle administration. Merry Garland is what you get.
the article said “Revolution of 1917”
History ... people think it’s the past.
but it’s really a preview.
"Merrick Garland Is A New Criminal Class."
One should never forget that the "Jewish Laws" under the Third Reich were "legal." Until they weren't. Democrats are playing a very dangerous game here.
I expect the nation dodged a bullet when Garlick Merrand was removed from consideration as Supreme Court justice. Too bad when he hit the wall, he began to ricochet, and came back to hit us anyway. But like a graze compared to a shot to the heart, less permanent damage was inflicted, and he is still vulnerable. He probably cannot be impeached, but he surely can be pressured to either modify his stance, or to leave office “voluntarily”.
Attorney General Garfinkle is his own class of radical extremist Marxist criminal.
My hopes is that they can’t steal this election. Trump wins in such a landslide that they can’t create enough fraudulent ballots. Trump gets in and gets rid of all the higher ups of the FBI and other agencies. Get new young ones in to investigate all these things they have ignored. Trump gets a real leader of the DOJ and investigations go forward. Then we will see barr and garland arrested. I can’t stand what barr did. He knew that laptop would have gotten biden arrested and he knew after the election there was massive fraud. But lied to Trump and all of us and still does. Even though the truth of the laptop is well known now. He laughs about it and likely uses his book sales to launder his payoff. Paid off with your tax payers money.
Is it time to send DEMOCRATS to HELL yet?
Bttt.

Stewart Rhodes should be added to that list, he was sentenced to 18 years in prison, not for what he actually did on J6, but because the “judge” didn’t like the things he said, and continues to say.
He would have caused LESS damage on the Supreme Court. He would have had only one vote on issues, as AG he has limitless power.
From Wikipedia:
A native of the Chicago area, Garland attended Harvard University for his undergraduate and legal education. After serving as a law clerk to Judge Henry Friendly of the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit and Supreme Court Justice William J. Brennan Jr., he practiced corporate litigation at Arnold & Porter and worked as a federal prosecutor in the Department of Justice, where he supervised the investigation and prosecution of the Oklahoma City bombers. Garland was appointed to the D.C. Circuit in March 1997 by President Bill Clinton, and served as its chief judge from 2013 to 2020.
Merrick Brian Garland was born on November 13, 1952, in Chicago. He grew up in the north Chicago border suburb of Lincolnwood.
Garland graduated from Harvard Law in 1977 with a Juris Doctor magna cum laude.
Garland was one of the three principal prosecutors who handled the investigation into Washington, D.C. mayor Marion Barry’s possession of cocaine.
Garland’s responsibilities included the supervision of high-profile domestic-terrorism cases, including the Oklahoma City bombing, Ted Kaczynski (also known as the “Unabomber”), and the Atlanta Olympics bombings.
Garland insisted on being sent to Oklahoma City in the aftermath of the attack, in order to examine the crime scene and oversee the investigation in preparation for the prosecution. He represented the government at the preliminary hearings of the two main defendants, Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols. Garland offered to lead the trial team, but could not because he was needed at the Justice Department headquarters. Instead, he helped pick the team and supervised it from Washington, D.C., where he was involved in major decisions, including the choice to seek the death penalty for McVeigh and Nichols.
Garland has shown a tendency to be deferential to the government in criminal cases, siding with prosecutors in ten of the fourteen criminal cases in which he disagreed with a colleague. For example, in United States v. Watson (1999), Garland dissented when the court concluded a prosecutor’s closing argument was unduly prejudicial, objecting that a conviction should be reversed for only “the most egregious of these kind of errors.” In 2007, Garland dissented when the en banc D.C. Circuit reversed the conviction of a Washington, D.C. police officer who had accepted bribes in an FBI sting operation.
In Americans for Safe Access v. Drug Enforcement Administration (2013), Garland joined a divided court upholding the DEA’s classification of marijuana as a Schedule I drug.
Garland found the arroyo toad was protected by the federal Endangered Species Act. Circuit Judge John Roberts dissented from the denial of rehearing en banc, writing that Congress’s interstate commerce power cannot reach “a hapless toad that, for reasons of its own, lives its entire life in California.
Garland had more federal judicial experience than any other Supreme Court nominee in history, and was the oldest Supreme Court nominee since Lewis F. Powell Jr. in 1971.
In Senate Judiciary Committee confirmation hearings, Garland vowed to oversee vigorous prosecution of those who stormed the United States Capitol, and other domestic extremists, drawing on his experience prosecuting the perpetrators of the Oklahoma City bombing.
The Senate Judiciary Committee voted 15–7 to advance Garland’s nomination to the Senate floor, and on March 10, the Senate confirmed Garland’s nomination by a vote of 70–30.
Garland rescinded a Trump administration policy (imposed by Jeff Sessions) that curtailed DOJ investigations into police department misconduct (”pattern-and-practice” investigations) and restricted the use of consent decrees to reform police departments.
Garland and his wife, Lynn, were married at the Harvard Club in Manhattan in September 1987. Lynn Rosenman Garland’s grandfather, Samuel Irving Rosenman, was a justice of the New York Supreme Court (a trial-level court) and a special counsel to presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman. She graduated from the Brearley School in Manhattan and cum laude from Harvard University, and received a Master of Science degree in operations management from the MIT Sloan School of Management. Her father, Robert Rosenman, was a partner in the New York law firm of Cravath, Swaine & Moore. As of June 2018, she advised government and nonprofit groups on voting systems security and accuracy issues.
Garland and his wife have two daughters, Rebecca and Jessica; both are graduates of Yale University. Justice Elena Kagan hired Jessica Garland, a 2019 graduate of Yale Law School, as one of her law clerks in early July 2020, before Biden’s election and Garland’s appointment, to serve as a law clerk in 2022–2023. The Supreme Court said that “in light of the potential for actual or apparent conflicts of interest,” Jessica Garland will not serve as Kagan’s law clerk while her father remains as attorney general.
Financial disclosure forms in 2016 indicated that Garland’s net worth at the time was between $6 million and $23M. As of 2021, his net worth was estimated by Forbes at $8.6-33M.
