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.”

This is total BS !
Lies, damned lies, and not even any statistics.
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?

BS!
It’s Merrick Garland. No surprises here.
Anyone who admires and respects the founders and the Constitution is a threat to this regime.
“I suspect that their definition of White Supremacist equates to white people who believe in private property ownership.”
and clings to God, guns and bibles...
What an idiot. Best move McConnell ever made was keeping this fool off the SCOTUS
“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.
That assertion reflects near-universal consensus among national security experts, including those who worked for the Trump administration.
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.
White Supremacist: Anyone who has a job and refuses to step down from it so that a more deserving gay person of color can take the job.
I guess this was before his time

Ah, I see Garland is acting like a Senator: “bullshit, bullshit, bullshit!”
Whenever I see three big strong young white guys walking down the street, I immediately cross the street to avoid them....
Not!
They said Ginzburg was a “moderate” too.
‘”Attorney General Merrick Garland told Congress on Wednesday that violence incited by white supremacists poses “the most dangerous threat to our democracy.”’

3. Ransomware
4. Iranians nukes
