Garland says attacks on DOJ 'dangerous for our democracy' as House prepares to hold him in contempt

Attorney General Merrick Garland called attacks on the U.S. Department of Justice "dangerous for our democracy" on Tuesday as the GOP-led House prepares to hold him in contempt of Congress.

"Continued unfounded attacks against the Justice Department's employees are dangerous for people's safety. They are dangerous for our democracy. This must stop," Garland wrote in a Washington Post op-ed.

Garland has refused to turn over an audio recording of President Biden's interview with special counsel Robert Hur for the investigation into Biden's handling of classified documents.

This prompted House Republicans to hold him in contempt.

Garland has said something similar in the past. Any attempt to investigate the political biases of the DOJ is an attack on "their (D)emocracy".

We don’t have a DoJ. We have a Kangaroo Court branch of Stasi.

Actual attacks on the Supreme Court, not so much.

Everything the Democrats see as opposing their building a totalitarian government is a threat to Democracy.

Too bad the Republicans don’t have the stomach to have the US Marshals pay this SOB a predawn visit.

I wonder if Trump were President (and he began investigating Left-wing abuses) if the Dems would hold the DOJ to be sacrosanct?

Garland says attacks on DOJ ‘dangerous for our democracy’>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

What democracy?

The bastids released the espionage whirlwind with Operation Crossfire Hurricane in order to usurp a presidency.

Its dangerous alright, because democracy NEEDS TO BE RESTORED.The persecution of political opposition must end forever.You run for office, then you will be jailed?

Garland is going down with the rest of these espionage bastids.

Maniacal leftist thug posing as a democrat, raking in the bribes and grant money for his family and friends. Particularly in the public schools sector.

I wish they’d just be honest and just say “this is dangerous to Democrats” which is what they mean.

I have considered things at length and I believe the root problems is that Democrats confuse the word Democracy with the meaning of the word Hypocrisy.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but the attorney general and the Department of Justice are appointed offices. Having our elected representatives question their motives or investigate their actions (or failures to act) is completely appropriate and necessary in a functioning democratic system. As we have seen, appointed offices are much more prone to act in dictatorial ways if not properly checked.
