Merrick Garland took questions in the Senate today in support of his nomination by President Joe Biden for US Attorney General.
Senator Josh Hawley asked Garland his thoughts on "assaults on federal property in places other than Washington, DC, Portland, for instance, Seattle." Garland said, in essence, that while the attack on the Capitol was domestic terrorism, the attacks on federal buildings over the summer likely were not.
"Do you regard assaults on federal courthouses or other federal property as acts of domestic extremism, domestic terrorism?"
"Well Senator, my own definition, which is about the same as the statutory definition, is the use of violence or threats of violence in an attempt to disrupt democratic processes. So an attack on a courthouse while in operation, trying to prevent judges from actually deciding cases, that plainly is domestic extremism, domestic terrorism.
"An attack simply on a government property, at night, or any other kind of circumstances is a clear crime and a serious one and should be punished. I don't know enough about the facts of the example you're talking about, but that's where I draw the line.
"Both are criminal, but one is a core attack on our Democratic institutions," Garland said.
As regards the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, Garland intends to deal harshly with those who participated.

And also if it happened on a Monday, or if there was a Full moon. Gosh forbid that they would have to prosecute them.
The FBI has become a domestic terror organization. And the DoJ is in full accomplice mode. Sad.
How about burning a police station WITH POLICE INSIDE.
And how come he wasn’t asked THAT question. These politicians are preening fools.
So I wonder what this idiot thinks about the military when the enemy or we attack at night. It isn’t a friggin’ battle? I think Merry Garland is ready for the nursing home.
Self disqualified....by idiocy!
So is it not looting if the business is closed?

Like Amy Schumer trying to invade the Justice Kavanaugh hearings?
Like Chuck Schumer threatening Justices on the bench?
BOY! They can s*** on everything and make it good like icing on a cake.
I miss Obama. His people were expert liars. They’d look you right I. The eye and lie likes pros. Psaki (sp), this joker, etc are bumbling amateurs at straight face lying. Of course Joes was an accomplished congenital liar, but he’s sadly lost his edge due to the dementia
She must not know that lynchings often happened at night. They were horrible attrocities and certainly were carried out to terrorize on the black community.
The Left doesn’t consider William Ayers or Angela Davis to be terrorists either.
Must be “youthful indiscretion”.
One more brain dead SJW globalist for the Bai Dung administration.
He said stuff much worse than this.
He blamed “White Supremacist’s” for the Capitol Hill attacks for one.
Sad for all of US.
Lefties are not going to be bothered.
And the cops will be the tip of the spear.
Merrick Garland sounds like that he as big of a CLUELESS FOOL & CROOK as James Comey is.
Yours, ex-cadet
are we glad this maroon never made SCOTUS, or what...
it’s not stupidity and until people here stop calling these people “liberal” and accusing them of being “dumb” or “clueless” we’re never going to win.
This stupidity is SO not going to end well.
