Merrick Garland Says ‘Attacks’ Against Justice Department ‘Must Stop
Breitbart ^ | 06/13/2024 | KRISTINA WONG

Posted on 06/13/2024 8:26:00 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

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.

Merrick, you will never be on the Supreme Court.

We sure dodged a bullet on that one!

QUOTES via NPR

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

After winning office, James gave an interview to NBC News in December 2018 where she promised to “use every area of the law to investigate President Trump and his business transactions and that of his family as well.”

“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?

"They come in the form of conspiracy theories crafted and spread for the purpose of undermining public trust in the judicial process itself. Those include false claims that a case brought by a local district attorney and resolved by a jury verdict in a state trial was somehow controlled by the Justice Department."

Coleangelo.

6 months is the difference between conspiracy theory and reality anymore.

By “attacks” he’s referring to the new meaning of the word, i.e., honest criticism. Can’t have that.

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.

Quotes:

Congresswoman Stefanik: Isn’t it true that in Alvin Bragg’s campaign for Manhattan DA, Bragg specifically ran on going after President Donald Trump?

Mr. Robert Costello: That is true.

....

when Congress referred this admission of Cohen’s perjury to Joe Biden’s DOJ, isn’t it true that the DOJ has refused to prosecute?

Mr. Robert Costello: That is true.

....

Congresswoman Stefanik: Isn’t it correct that Michael Colangelo, who was the third highest ranking official in Biden’s DOJ was transferred to Bragg’s office to run this weaponized prosecution of President Trump. Isn’t that true?

Mr. Robert Costello: Not only true but it’s unheard of.

Congresswoman Stefanik: Unheard of. It’s a disgrace. Do you agree that this weaponization of lawfare goes straight to the top with the purpose of helping Joe Biden‘s failing presidential campaign?

Mr. Robert Costello: The circumstantial evidence definitely supports that.

....

Congresswoman Stefanik: One additional question. I want to talk about the rigged and unprecedented jury selection process. Isn’t it true that Bragg’s team asked the jurors if they followed Trump on social media?

Mr. Robert Costello: Yes.

Congresswoman Stefanik: And isn’t it true that they did not ask any of the potential jurors if they followed Biden on social media?

Mr. Robert Costello: Or Michael Cohen.

Congresswoman Stefanik: Or Michael Cohen.

Mr. Robert Costello: Yes.

Congresswoman Stefanik: And isn’t it true that 87% of the jurors said they voted for Joe Biden.

Mr. Robert Costello: That’s true.

Congresswoman Stefanik: Is this unprecedented and lawfare jury shopping?

Mr. Robert Costello: Without a doubt.

Congresswoman Stefanik: Without a doubt. Political lawfare for the purpose of election interference to go after Donald Trump. Do you agree?

Mr. Robert Costello: Totally.
