President Joe Biden’s choice for attorney general, Merrick Garland, has pledged to supervise the prosecution of protesters who breached the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, according to a prepared opening statement for his confirmation hearing.
Garland’s hearing is scheduled to begin Feb. 22 and will extend over two days. The appellate court judge, who was best known for being nominated by President Barack Obama in 2016 to the Supreme Court, was tapped by Biden in early January to lead the Justice Department.
The judge is expected to tell the Senate Judiciary Committee that if confirmed, he would “supervise the prosecution of white supremacists and others who stormed the Capitol on January 6,” which he characterized as “a heinous attack that sought to disrupt a cornerstone of our democracy: the peaceful transfer of power to a newly elected government.”
He will stress his experience in “battling extremist attacks,” reminding lawmakers that he had supervised the prosecution of the perpetrators of the 1995 bombing of a federal building in Oklahoma City, which killed 168 people, including many children.
Garland will also pledge to serve the rule of law and ensure equal justice under the law, according to his prepared remarks.
If confirmed, Garland will be required to oversee a number of politically sensitive cases, included an investigation into the taxes of Biden’s son Hunter Biden, as well as a probe into the origins of the 2016 counterintelligence investigation into Russia and former President Donald Trump’s campaign.
“If I am confirmed, serving as Attorney General will be the culmination of a career I have dedicated to ensuring that the laws of our country are fairly and faithfully enforced, and that the rights of all Americans are protected,” the judge is expected to say.
He also reiterated his commitment to remain independent from Biden,

Pantyfa/$blm, not so much.
He’s gonna prosecute the Derp State false flag actors ? Yeah, right.
Glad to see the Attorney General office will be in use again after a four year hiatus.
This is really no surprise. And it wouldn’t be any surprise either to think that Barr or Sessions wouldn’t have done the same.
A fair trial, before hanging Trump supporters.
Precisely.
So which Republicant Senator will ask him if he plans to look into the massive 2020 election fraud?
There is no Department of Justice. There is a department to clean up democrat corruption and prosecute anyone who gets in their way. It is laughable if anyone thinks Hunter’s crimes will be investigated and prosecuted. We are in for the Eric Holder style of investigation. “We have investigated and found no evidence of wrong doing now go away. In fact. We have found Hunter Biden is a super awesome guy who went deep undercover to bust an underage Chinese prostitution ring.”
will there be PROSECUTION, or even naming, of
the ONLY PERSON to shoot a firearm on that day?
the video SHOWS him waiting, waiting, and then
firing when the victim was led to the slaughter point
in the US Congress, as organized by the AG’s boss(es).
Just rename the office to Witchfinder General and be done with it.
Mereick will start the coverup goi after innocent Trump supporters and covering for BLM and Antifa. Also remember the real reason no one wanted him on SCOTUS....He is a hardcore gun grabber. He’ll make Eric Holder look like Charlton Heston in comparision. He will impliment Bidens gun grab!
Boy ANTIFA and BLM sure have this guy in their pocket.
Any opposition to their beliefs is now guaranteed to put you
in court defending your freedom.
Meanwhile, they are perpetrating rioting, looting, arson, and
murder at will.
And this AG wanna-be, seems to think Law and Order is a
TV show and nothing more important.
Why the hell does the RAT party love this Merrick Garland guy so much??
Does he have some special talent??
... like SETH RICH and dozens of witnesses,
the ONLY victim (although maybe a Capitol police
was whacked at the police station or on his way home)
of the Jan 6, 2021 planned staged murderous play,
all were slaughtered by the AG’s boss(es).
85 Million in the Republic of the united States of America
know this and watch this kabuki, run by
traffickers, liars, backstabbers [”politicians”]
without an ounce of Honor between
their entire immoral coven.
And they wanted this asshat on SCOTUS
Merrick Garland will receive the Durham Report. There will be no prosecutions.
For those of you not Australian, Garland is in the blue tie.
Waste of money
Imho, if the DoJ or FBI contact you immediately shut the fu@k up and call a lawyer. Same with the IRS and Treasury.
The entire U.S. government cannot be trusted.
