Garland denounces 'dangerous falsehoods' and conspiracy theories targeting the Justice Department

WASHINGTON (AP) — Attorney General Merrick Garland will denounce “conspiracy theories” and “dangerous falsehoods" targeting the Justice Department during a speech Thursday to employees as he forcefully pushes back against Republican claims of politicization.

Garland will use a speech to U.S. attorneys gathered in Washington and other Justice Department members to vigorously defend the department's integrity and impartiality and to condemn what he describes as “outrageous” attacks that put law enforcement in harm's way.

“These attacks have come in the form of conspiracy theories, dangerous falsehoods, efforts to bully and intimidate career public servants by repeatedly and publicly singling them out, and threats of actual violence,” Garland will say in his speech inside the Great Hall at Justice Department headquarters, according to prepared remarks provided to reporters.

“Through your continued work, you have made clear that the Justice Department will not be intimidated by these attacks. But it is dangerous — and outrageous — that you have to endure them.”

It's the attorney general's latest broadside against claims that his department has been politically weaponized under the Biden administration to go after former President Donald Trump, who was indicted by a special counsel appointed by Garland in two separate criminal cases.

Garland does not mention Trump or Republicans in the excerpts. Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, has repeatedly accused prosecutors of bringing politically motivated criminal cases against him. Republicans have also falsely claimed that New York criminal case, in which Trump was convicted of 34 felony counts in May, was orchestrated by Biden and the Justice Department.

And Garland will arrest and imprison anybody who doesn’t agree with him about the dangerous falsehoods and conspiracy theories.

The HEAD of the DOJ stands IN CONTEMPT OF CONGRESS.

How's THAT for leading by example?

Congress SHOULD send their Sergeant At Arms to LOCK HIM UP.

I see you well-understand Meritless Garland’s mindset.

There is more evidence of the NYS criminal case being orchestrated by DOJ than there is evidence it was not. Asserting the accusation is false is not disproving it, AP.

I will never trust the DOJ or FBI again. They are a thug organization. They do not play on my team. I don’t want to help them because I don’t think they are on the side of good. Maybe there are some good people there. Could be. But the organization as a whole is evil.

What do you expect him to say?

It would be like a liar saying ‘You can trust me, I’m not a liar’

We were told this guy was a reasonable liberal when he was given the lamp duck shot at being put on the Supreme Court by Obama and it turned out he was the worst kind of political hack.

Dodged a big one keeping him off the court.

Everyone in the DOJ is a crook. Every damned one of them. Especially the scumbags in the FIB. Disband the thugs, burn the building to ash, then urinate on the ashes.

“Garland will use a speech to U.S. attorneys gathered in Washington and other Justice Department members to vigorously defend the department’s integrity and impartiality and to condemn what he describes as “outrageous” attacks that put law enforcement in harm’s way.”

Preposterous. The Dept. of Injustice under Garland has no integrity and is as partial as it can be. Any “outrageous” attacks come from Garland and the Dept. of Injustice themselves. They are making us look bad to Banana Republics.

And he will jail anyone who does!

America’s KGB

Like its Soviet predecessor, its job is to enforce political and ideological conformity on America, particularly its elites (because the proles are disorganized and far from power), through the pretext of “law enforcement.”

When does he address the danger of the Russia collusion hoax?
When does he address the danger of the 51 signers re: Hunter's laptop hoax?
When does he address the danger of implying white Christians are the greatest danger to the U.S. bullshit?
When does he address the danger of starting up a bail fund as Kamala did for rioters and looters and letting these proven dangers to society out of jail?

Hmmmm?

Garland has presided over the most weaponized DOJ, doing political hatchet jobs for the democRATS, in the history of the country. Following in the steps of Joe Stalin.
