Garland praises DOJ for impartiality amid ‘dangerous and outrageous’ attacks
Associated Press via MSN.com ^ | September 12, 2024 | Rebecca Beitsch

Attorney General Merrick Garland plans to call out “dangerous and outrageous” attacks on the Justice Department and its workforce as the nation’s U.S. attorneys gather in Washington.

The address — to be delivered department-wide — commends the workforce’s “ironclad commitment to the principles of fairness and impartiality” as he describes unprecedented threats made against the Justice Department.

“The way you do that work makes clear that the public servants of the Department of Justice do not bend to politics. And that they will not break under pressure,” Garland said in excerpts of his remarks obtained by The Hill.

The speech is a continuation of a more confrontational stance from the mild-mannered Garland, who, in a June appearance before the House Judiciary Committee, came face-to-face with some of his sharpest critics. He accused them of playing a role in forwarding conspiracy theories and attacking rank-and-file employees, saying he and the department “will not be intimidated.”

Garland, in his address, plans to once again call out “conspiracy theories, dangerous falsehoods, efforts to bully and intimidate career public servants by repeatedly and publicly singling them out, and threats of actual violence.”

“It is dangerous to target and intimidate individual employees of this Department simply for doing their jobs. And it is outrageous that you have to face these unfounded attacks because you are doing what is right and upholding the rule of law,” Garland will say.

“You deserve better.”

Garland’s address comes on the heels of a presidential debate in which former President Trump bemoaned the two federal cases he faces, saying, “It’s called weaponization. Never happened in this country. They weaponized the Justice Department.”

The address takes pains to reflect on Justice Department norms prohibiting the type of conduct Trump has alleged.

That's the policy. It has nothing to do with how they operate though.

It changes depending on the Regime's political needs.

Garland is such a piece of repulsive crap!

Obammy wanted him on the SC. Oamji is filling in for the old Kenyan just to his liking.

The meritless Garland remains a fascist, partisan, political hack.

I predict that in 2025, a skilled surgeons scalpel will be making love to Merrick Garland’s brain.

But in this case, a lobotomy is a terrible thing to waste when the patient is a worthless democrat hack. It would be better to finish the cretin off, by lethal injection. /spit

the question for the States could well become “how much longer do they choose to permit Washington DC /Fed.gov to continue to represent their interests before the world?”

that little thought hasn’t dawned on anybody inside the beltway ...yet

Garland orders the FBI to arrest parents, Christians, American patriots and anyone and everyone who dares to try to stand up to the tyranny and thuggery of this current WH regime has loosed upon this country. Now the little criminal
bass turd has the gall to complain and threaten all who have called them out on their thuggery and lawfare against the people. Get the rope! Uh-oh, I guess I should expect a visit from the FBI now.

That he even needs to do this is a sure indication that there is trouble in River City, and it has nothing to do with pool.

Well in my estimation, with Garland’s head routinely stuck so far up Biden’s ass, I’d guess that the sky color is CRAP BROWN!!!
