Attorney General Merrick Garland on Monday pushed back on criticism that the Justice Department is treating President Biden more favorably than former President Donald Trump as the government investigates their mishandling of classified documents.
“The department has a set of norms and practices,” Garland said, answering media questions on the federal probe into the 80-year-old president for the first time. “These mean, among other things, that we do not have different rules for Democrats or Republicans, different rules for the powerful or powerless, different rules for the rich or poor.”
Garland’s comments came during a meeting of the DOJ’s reproductive rights task force.
He answered questions about how he would respond to those who argue Biden has been treated better than 76-year-old Trump, and whether appointing a special counsel to investigate both cases was “good for the country.”
“We apply the facts and the law in each case in a neutral and nonpartisan manner,” Garland said. “That is what we always do, and that is what we do in the matters you are referring to.”
“The role of the Justice Department is to apply the facts and the law in each case in a nonpartisan and neutral way without regard to who the subjects are,” Garland said about appointing Robert Hur as special counsel in the Biden document probe and Jack Smith as special counsel in the Trump case. “That is what we have done in each of these cases and what we will continue to do.”

Yep his lips are moving therefore prevarication ensues.
Sure, our DOJ doesn't pick sides ...
Proverbs 12:22 Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight, and Garland has shown himself to be an abomination. I would not want to be in his shoes.
Garland is blind because he refuses to see.
Did they search every room in Biden’s house with assault weapons handy? No, Biden even told them what rooms they could search.
Did they allow Biden’s lawyers to be nearby? Yes of course they did, Trump not so much.
Did they take Biden’s passport as they did Trump? No
Did they take newspaper clippings and magazines as they did Trump? No
Did they take pictures of the documents laying on the floor? No
AG Garland is insane, good thing he did not make it to the supreme court.
Craven ‘Rat hack!

Joe's are all over the place...far from secure. They're saying they're old records...really?? We don't really know that.
Yes, and that is the key to the matter. Trump’s docs were merely in dispute, but locked up. There was no national security issue. Biden’s doc were there for anyone to peruse.
If what he said is true, the department doesn’t have different rules,it doesn’t mean he is following the rules. Just ignore the rules if it is a demo. It amounts to the same thing.
Demo =Dem i hate autocorrect.spend more time correcting “autocorrects” than fixing an actual misspelling.
Well golly gee he said he didn't do it. What do you expect me to do?
Yep, Merritt, we are all blind.
It’s demonstrable on every level, including the fact that Garland KNEW about Biden’s SCI documents when he assigned a Special Counsel to Trump, and let Biden go out before the election and finger-wag and bad mouth Trump, who unlike Biden, had the authority to DECLASSIFY under the office of The President.
Garland involved himself in election fraud methinks. They kept Biden’s SCI document theft, and that’s what it was at minimum, tight-lipped until the MOMENT the GOP had elected their speaker and had the Committee Chairs.
Much of the FBI and DOJ need to be criminally prosecuted for their treachery in office.
AG Garfinkel.
Just show him a chart of all political cases with raids, detentions, and prosecutions with a red vs. blue split....
Anything connected to Trump or Republicans, or conservatives.....
Raids, illegal detentions, perp walks, media leaks, over heavy handed judges...etc ..
And then democrats, no raids, no detentions, no prosecutions, or heavy handed judges....
Put the chart in his face!
He lies with impunity right to our faces.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>..
Of course! Since the communist take-over of the ‘rat party, lying is SOP and mandatory for every party apparatchik and every member of the Deep State cabal!
garland is full of crap.
The special council(s) appointed to investigate President Trump had zero restrictions in what they could investigate.
When it comes to bidung, the special council has to remain laser focused on just the documents. No investigating if there was foreign access, no investigating if crack head hunter sold copies, or if the big guy himself profited off the access (if any).
“No one willing to search through Dr. Jill’s frillies?”
Ewwww.
Most rational people would probably rather burn a sh*t barrel in Iraq.
Burger King sells better whoppers.
