Attorney General Merrick Garland this week called for “attacks” against the Justice Department to stop, in a rare op-ed a day before the House voted to hold him in contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with a congressional subpoena.
Garland said in the piece, which appeared in the Washington Post on Tuesday, that in recent weeks, there have been an “escalation of attacks that go far beyond public scrutiny, criticism, and legitimate and necessary oversight of our work,” and claimed that the attacks are “baseless, personal and dangerous.”
He suggested the attacks were coming from Trump supporters, in response to the recent trial of former President Donald Trump, as well as several other ongoing federal and local government cases against him.

“I’m running for attorney general because I will never be afraid to challenge this illegitimate president,” James said in another campaign video.

“The Democrats vying to be the state’s next attorney general are making a similar promise: to take on the president in the seat of his business empire.”
“on the sidewalk across from Trump Tower. It is there where Teachout [one of James’ 2018 opponents] launched her campaign in June, and it is the president’s business empire that she wants to investigate, prosecute, and even dissolve if the voters of New York make her the state’s chief law-enforcement officer this fall.”
“Before working at the DOJ, Colangelo worked for Attorney General Letitia James, who investigated Trump for three years before bringing a massive civil lawsuit against him and the Trump Organization in the fall of 2022.”

So is he going to arrest himself? How else is it going to be fixed?
Yes, or else what?
DOJ organized jailings and solitary confinment of regular citizens will continue until respect for the Justice Department improves?
No Dickless! Your attacks on the Constitution and American Citizens must stop!
Coleangelo.
6 months is the difference between conspiracy theory and reality anymore.

Democratic and Republican Trump supporters need to support hopeful Trump 47 with a new patriot Congress in November that will support him to quickly finish draining the swamp.
“Did we not cross a Rubicon when the demonic Obama administration sued the nuns — yes, literal nuns — of the Little Sisters of the Poor to force them to subsidize abortifacients?”
“Did we not cross a Rubicon when myriad Trump attorneys, including the renowned scholar John Eastman, were prosecuted for practicing the legal profession?”
I remember when criticizing Mayorkas and the DHS was “antisemitic” because his family was in the Holocaust.
He'll be way worse than affirmative action Justices on the SCOTUS right now.
Our right to the First Amendment is an attack? Thank God Garland didn’t get a seat on the Supreme Court!
