White supremacy is top security threat, Garland says

WASHINGTON — Attorney General Merrick Garland told Congress on Wednesday that violence incited by white supremacists poses “the most dangerous threat to our democracy.” That assertion reflects near-universal consensus among national security experts, including those who worked for the Trump administration.

Garland’s warning came during a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing on the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, which was conducted by supporters of then-President Donald Trump and incited by white supremacist groups like the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys. Five people died as a result of the attack.

“In my career as a judge and in law enforcement, I have not seen a more dangerous threat to democracy than the invasion of the Capitol,” Garland said, calling the attack an “attempt to interfere with a fundamental element of our democracy, the peaceful transfer of power.” The attorney general went on to say that “there has to be a hierarchy of things that we prioritize. This would be the one we’d prioritize.”

Bring on the investigations. They should be exhaustive. And that will take time and there are things Americans need to know right now, too.

<><> ** What conversations did Pelosi or her staff give Sergeant at Arms Paul Irving specific to January 6th?
<><>** What response did Pelosi give tax-paid security officials when tax-paid National Guard support was initially requested?
<><> ** Why is Pelosi Refusing to Turn Over tax-paid Official Public Documents WRT US Capitol Security?
<><> ** Why are tax-paid House Officers refusing to turn over tax-paid documents relevant to that day?

Representatives Jim Jordan (R-OH), Devin Nunes (R-CA), Rodney Davis (R-IL) and James Comer (R-KY)
are asking Speaker Pelosi to explain her decision to deny tax-paid National Guard support on January 4th.

“What is the definition of a White Supremacist? “

Any one that voted for Trump no matter what color they are. Must be rounded up and rehabilitated.

Democrats always talk about our “democracy”. We need to remember always to say our republic. Pure democracy is two wolves and one chicken voting on what’s for lunch. At the federal government level right now the Democrats are the wolves and we are the chicken.

‘”Attorney General Merrick Garland told Congress on Wednesday that violence incited by white supremacists poses “the most dangerous threat to our democracy.”’

Well, Mr Almost-a-Supreme-Justice, i’m glad it’s not:

1. Massive voter fraud
2. Permanent riots by BLM/Antifa
3. Ransomware
4. Iranians nukes
5. NK missiles
6. Russian territorial ambitions
7. Chinese Bioweapons Research

I’m SO glad THIS guy didn’t get a confirmation vote.
