Merrick Garland Hungry For Expanded DOJ: ‘We Don’t Have Enough’

Attorney General Merrick Garland talked a lot about the Justice Department’s “resources” during his appearance Wednesday before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Congress provided the Justice Department with “critical resources” to strengthen its national security and law enforcement capacities, Garland testified in his opening statement.

But there were a number of times during the hearing when the attorney general invited the prospect of receiving more resources, which appeared to be more about funds and personnel rather than legislative tweaks, to better address matters ranging from antitrust issues and combating drug cartels trafficking fentanyl into the United States.

At one point, during an exchange with Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), Garland pushed back on the assertion that prosecutors are encouraged to avoid certain charges to get around certain mandatory minimum sentences approved by Congress.

“This is a question of allocating our resources and focusing them on violent crime,” Garland said. He insisted that conflicting views on policy are not to blame, but rather, “it’s a question of the resources.”

Pressed on whether this meant the Justice Department does not have enough money, Garland shared a list: “Not enough people. We don’t have enough money. We don’t have enough jails. We don’t have enough judges.”

This amounts to “cherry-picking,” Cornyn argued, a point which Garland countered by saying, “If we apply it to every single crime, we will not be able to focus our resources on violent crime, significant drug trafficking, on the cartels, on the people who are killing people with fentanyl.”

You get what you voted for — BIGGER AND MORE INTRUSIVE GOVERNMENT.

Merrick Garland wants more spies for the DOJ.

Biden wants more IRS agents spying on your finances ( 87,000 new ones won’t be enough if the Democrats have their way ).

[Mouton]

We were NEVER supposed to have a national police force.

Yesterday, Garland said that the reason why the DoJ/FBI has only charged one person for attacking a crisis pregnancy center is that most of the attacks take place at night. He went on to say that why more pro-life people have been arrested because they protest in the daytime.

About a year ago someone asked Garland why the DoJ/FBI has not arrested those who attacked the federal courthouse in Portland OR for about 100 days in 2020. Garland said that those attacks weren’t serious enough to be called terrorism because they happened at night.

So, it appears that Garland and the DoJ/FBI are essentially afraid of the dark or they don’t care what goes on when they are asleep.

Surprise - America’s KGB isn’t big enough

Why does the planned new FBI building include a crematorium?

Merrick Garland carrries the stench of a commie...

Garland shared a list: “Not enough people. We don’t have enough money. We don’t have enough jails. We don’t have enough judges.”

Oh boy! Linda Graham must have been worked up in a froth of walnut sauce. "I'll give you more!" he ejaculated. (with his mouth, because the word used to mean a sudden loud vocal expression)

"Why does the planned new FBI building include a crematorium?"

Some people don't survive torture, or a bullet to the head.

[elpadre]

All departments and agencies of the US government needs to required to reduce total expenditures by 10% this year. If not done voluntarily then by legislation.

[BitWielder1]

If they only were to go after actual criminals, including corrupt politicians, and not regular middle Americans.

[Jumpmaster]

My thought also. Easier than sneaking a dismembered body out of an embassy.

[Belteshazzar]

Does Garland have a conscience?

[unixfox]

And they wonder why we won’t give up our guns.

And hell rode with it.

[Alas Babylon!]

Garland shared a list: “Not enough people. We don’t have enough money. We don’t have enough jails. We don’t have enough judges.”

The followup should have been:

"Not enough for WHAT, General Garland?" While injecting him with truth serum.

The answer would've been:

"To prosecute our political opponents, of course!"

Most people are unaware that Stalin's chief executioner during the Purge was a guy named Genrikh Yagoda.

The reason they haven't heard of him is because um, he was Jewish. A Bolshevik since 1907.

He sorta countered the post-war meme that no such animal existed, it was all a Nazi party propaganda gig.

Unfortunately that wasn't true. He was an enthusiastic murderer of ordinary Russians, personally responsible for something like 700 deaths before Stalin decided he was too big for his britches and had him set up on BS charges and executed.

I've always thought that he and Garfinkel, er, Garland looked alike:

The Garland Idiot doesn’t know how to *ALLOCATE* the overabundance of agents he has.

Senators Grill Attorney General Merrick Garland About a Weaponized DOJ, Yet Miss the Person Doing the Weaponization

March 1, 2023 | Sundance | 320 Comments

Much has been made today surrounding a Senate hearing where Attorney General Merrick Garland was grilled about a host of issues highlighting the political weaponization of the DOJ.  Many ‘right side’ articles are noting Garland came across as weak, unsteady and nervous as he attempted to obfuscate specific examples and larger points of criticism.

Unfortunately, almost everyone is missing something. AG Merrick Garland has a control operative behind him.  That person is the uber political Deputy AG Lisa Monaco. AG Garland isn’t the one calling the shots on these specific examples being cited, DAG Monaco is.   Watch this questioning from the perspective that Monaco, not Garland, is the one calling the shots on the weaponization specifics. 

WATCH:

'Wait-Wait-Wait-Wait-Wait!': Hawley Confronts Garland About Raid On Mar-A-Lago

The Washington Post article being cited by Hawley is HERE.  In the article excerpt below, insert the name “Monaco” to replace the word “prosecutors” and everything else makes sense, including the stumbling ineptitude of Garland – who was installed specifically because he was, like Biden, a controllable puppet.

[…] Prosecutors argued that new evidence suggested Trump was knowingly concealing secret documents at his Palm Beach, Fla., home and urged the FBI to conduct a surprise raid at the property. But two senior FBI officials who would be in charge of leading the search resisted the plan as too combative and proposed instead to seek Trump’s permission to search his property, according to the four people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe a sensitive investigation.

Prosecutors ultimately prevailed in that dispute, one of several previously unreported clashes in a tense tug of war between two arms of the Justice Department over how aggressively to pursue a criminal investigation of a former president. The FBI conducted an unprecedented raid on Aug. 8, recovering more than 100 classified items, among them a document describing a foreign government’s military defenses, including its nuclear capabilities.

It is frustrating to see most punditry miss the importance of the people who operate as shadows in control.  In a similar way that most avoid noticing the importance of Mary McCord in the operations to remove President Trump, Lisa Monaco operates in the background of current Main Justice events and yet no one is paying attention.

When Chicago Jesus was carrying out his ‘fundamental change’ agenda, it was the women around him who spearheaded the operations and held the most steadfast loyalty.  Susan Rice, Lisa Monaco, Kathleen Ruemmler, Samantha Power, Sally Yates and Mary McCord were all key figures in the systems as they were created and weaponized. Those loyal guardians of the agenda are still around, Lisa Monaco specifically as Deputy Attorney General, yet few pay attention to them.

Current Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco was Barack Obama’s former homeland security advisor and former legal counsel in the White House.  Monaco was the tip of the spear in using political activism under the guise of ‘homeland security’ to target political opposition.  That type of political targeting is her specialty.  Lisa Monaco is now the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.

As a direct result of her skill-set in combination with her current position, it is a guarantee that Deputy AG Lisa Monaco authored the DOJ targeting memorandum that AG Merrick Garland eventually signed and sent to the FBI that became explosive around the issue of the FBI targeting parents at school board meetings. Again, weaponizing internal political targeting under the guise of homeland security concerns is what Monaco is specifically famous for doing.

You might remember, even before becoming President Obama’s key Homeland Security Adviser, Lisa Monaco was the head of the DOJ National Security Division. You might also remember the DOJ-NSD was at the center of the “small group” collaboration between DOJ-NSD and FBI Counterintelligence unit.  Remember, it was the DOJ-NSD (via Sally Yates) who would not allow OIG Oversight.  (John Carlin quit; Mary McCord quit; David Laufman quit, all to protect themselves from incoming Trump)

During the 2015/2016 presidential election Lisa Monaco was one of the key WH figures doing the unmasking of raw intelligence provided by the “small group” collaborators (with Susan Rice, Samantha Power, Ben Rhodes).  Remember all the unmasking from the user account of Samantha Power?  Yeah, that datapoint disappeared with Power just saying, “it wasn’t me.”

Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco was also one of the key policy strategists, heck, she was the architect, who utilized the compartmentalization of intelligence to hide the fingerprints of collaboration. This was the issue that initially stymied HSPCI Devin Nunes.

You may also remember in June of 2021, Attorney General Merrick Garland announced that Deputy AG Lisa Monaco would lead a “whole of government” effort to label any political opposition to the Biden regime as “domestic terrorists”.

To facilitate that objective, Garland announced that DAG Monaco was reconstituting “the domestic terrorism executive committee,” an investigative agency process used in the aftermath of the Oklahoma bombing in 1995. Additionally, Garland noted the January 6th Capitol Hill protest was the current equivalent of the 1995 bombing that killed 168 people and injured 680. The Domestic Terrorism committee, led by Monaco, would focus their efforts at ensuring the center of U.S. government is never again put at risk.

The overarching Lawfare framework, the issues which are being cited by the Senate today, was created by President Obama’s former White House Legal Counsel and current U.S. Asst Attorney General Lisa Monaco.  DAG Lisa Monaco is also the connection between the DOJ targeting efforts of the J6 members, and the bridge to Special Counsel Jack Smith.

Just as Andrew Weissmann was really the control operative behind Robert Mueller, so too is Lisa Monaco the control operative behind AG Merrick Garland.

• Lisa Monaco is running the Dept of Justice.

• Victoria Nuland is running the State Dept (Ukraine).

• Avril Haines is running the Intelligence Community.

• Samantha Power is running USAID.

• Mary McCord is running the Jack Smith Special Counsel operation….

… and the great pretending continues.

Republicans are stepping all over themselves to Award the DOJ, FBI, and other alphabet agencies additional tax dollars…watch and see!

When you are weaponizing the power of government for political purposes, as Lavrenti Garland is, you ALWAYS need more.

@DOJ is lawless.
