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.

Up until they’re rolled up by their puppet masters for making a split second , life changing decision.
When that happens their very own puppet masters will throw them to the wolves. In tune, there will be fewer and fewer to do the job and their bidding.
US Dept of Labor has done the study. Every year the number of qualified people who are willing to take jobs in the military and first responder realm goes down by 5%. And this has been happening for a few years.
Sounds like the “libtard lefty genius jurist” thinks crimes at night are much different than crimes between sunrise and sunset.
Wow.
‘
They do what they do at night due to their Criminal intentions.
Watch the Republicans line up to vote for this Joker!
Mark my words.
‘
Bingo.
Garland being deliberately stupid to keep the narrative going. They should have cleaned his clock.
He is claiming ignorance for every question. “I don’t know” is not acceptable!
‘
What Republican said, isn’t it true you want the Antifa Violence, so we get yet another excuse for their Terrorism?
Answer: None

Rainbow in the morning, sailor’s take warning. Rainbow at night, sailor’s delight
This clown has all the intelligence to be an Ivy League law professor or a tree stump.
Biden should deep six this criminal minded asshat.
Garland reflects bad on Biden and all Democrats in general.
So according this political hack, it is okay to attack federal government property and endanger lives as long as you do it at night.
So rape might not be rape.... Robbing a 7-11 at gunpoint at night might be justified redistribution of wealth for people who justify breaking the law because of skin color.
Garland is a friggin’ idiot.
He isn’t qualified to clean the bathrooms in Washington.
‘
This guy was a telling the Senate BEFORE he gets the job that he will
concern himself with Political Prosecutions and Dem Extremists will not be considered Domestic Terrorists.
Now, watch the Republican Traitors step on each other to Vote for him.

There’s a whole ‘nother Law Book called the Nocturnal Statutes.
It’s like Parking - No Domestic Terrorism here 9-5
Except on Saturday and Sunday
‘
They both are, idiot
I think he is thinking of the peaceful protests that got violent at dusk when blm/antifa would throw rocks or water bottles from the back of the crown to get a riot started.
I've seen breakdowns of antifa/blm starting riots, done quite well by those exposing their terrorist tactics
I think Gardener is saying he sees magas daytime terrorist and blm/antifa nite time ones. He's blatantly supportive of blm/antifa imo.
‘
Domestic Terrorism is already defined at the DOJ and there is no mention of time of day or open or closed.
He pulled it out of his ass to excuse Antifa, who has already intimidated the SCOTUS.
‘
‘
This has to be coupled with the FBi saying they don’t exist, and Nadler saying there were a made up fantasy.
Why all the excuses?
‘
Garland is a complete IDIOT However he fits right in with the rest of the SWAMP!! The damn place is FULL of nothing but incompetent IDIOTS, ruling over us!!
He also insinuated that the 1/6 Capitol “riots” were ‘more dangerous’ than the OK City bombing.
This guy is a scary tool.

Repubbies haven’t pushed back on these absurd claims, so far, that I know of.
