NY Times: Biden ‘Privately’ Ordered AG Garland to ‘Take Decisive Action’ against Trump over Jan 6

Democrat President Joe Biden has been “privately” giving orders to his weaponized Department of Justice (DOJ) to take out his political rivals, according to a report from the New York Times.

The NY Times reported that Biden held meetings behind closed doors where he told advisors to push for President Donald Trump to be prosecuted for Jan. 6.

According to the Times, Biden “privately told his close circle of advisers” that Trump “posed a threat to democracy and should be prosecuted for his role in the events of Jan 6.”

“He also told confidants that he wanted Attorney General Merrick B. Garland to stop acting like a ponderous judge and to take decisive action,” the Times reported.

The report from the NYT was published in April but has received renewed attention in light of the DOJ’s recent charges against Trump, the lead candidate in the 2024 presidential election.

“Biden ‘privately’ scolded Garland for not moving aggressively enough to prosecute Trump for Jan 6,” Michael Tracey posted on Twitter alongside a screenshot of the NYT article.

“These ‘private’ comments then made their way into the NYT, after which Garland moved more aggressively to prosecute Trump.

“They’re both loving fathers though, so I’m sure it’s fine.”

As Slay News reported earlier, many have alleged that the charges against Trump from the weaponized DOJ are likely a distraction from the mounting allegations against Biden and his family.

House Conference Chair Elise Stefanik (R-NY) has warned the American people that the latest indictment against President Donald Trump from the weaponized Department of Justice (DOJ) is a distraction from “one of the greatest political corruption scandals in history.”

Rep. Stefanik, the third most powerful House Republican, slammed the third indictment of Trump from Special Counsel Jack Smith.

Stefanik issued a fiery statement to blast the weaponized DOJ’s double standard of “justice,” saying:

Today’s sham indictment of Donald Trump is yet another desperate attempt to distract attention away from the mounting evidence of Joe Biden’s direct involvement in his family’s illegal influence peddling scheme – one of the greatest political corruption scandals in history.

“Less than 24 hours ago, Congress heard testimony from Hunter Biden’s longtime business partner that Joe Biden joined Hunter’s business calls over 20 times,” Stefanik added.

“This directly contradicts Biden’s lie that he never discussed business with his son.”

I heard him say that he was going to do that on live television in an interview! Hardly private?

We knew that. Remember biden’s September 1 Nazi speech? the one that was suppressed by the networks? I do. He showed his true side. His anger and hatred for Trump led him to order his gestapo to attack and disable Trump and his supporters.

Undue influence from a political opponent. Is that grounds to overturn?

posed a threat to democracy

Nothing says "democracy" quite like putting your political opponents in jail.

It is no big deal because the Republicans are too scared to do anything about it.

Start impeachment review of the real crook, one Joseph Biden, who has taken millions in criminal bribes from foreign interests adverse to the US and its people. Anyone doubting this after the whistleblower testimony and Devin Archer’s interview this week is doubting that the sun comes out every day - Mr. Biden is corrupt to the core.

I don’t buy that! Biden is nothing more than a doddering old fool being used as a useful idiot by the person behind the curtain. He is lucky to know when he dirties his pants. ‘All’ is scripted for him. Look at communications from Martha’s Vineyard if you want to find the truth.....

That’s what they want you to think.

In case of impeachment or indictment, he will claim this as his out.

He is and has been an evil traitorous, vindictive grifter his entire career.

This is who he is................

Something just doesn’t add up here.

Considering the advanced stage of his dementia, is Biden really barking out orders to Garland, his aides, or anyone, about anything? Does he even remember what the events of January 6 were, or who Donald Trump is anymore?

Biden doing this is no surprise, however the NYT reporting on it is.
