On Thursday, as we covered at the time, Attorney General Merrick Garland made some rather tone deaf remarks claiming that the Department of Justice's (DOJ) "norms" are "a promise that we will not allow this department to be used as a political weapon." Garland was promptly called out for such remarks, by the Trump-Vance campaign, as well as former Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii, once a Democrat, now an Independent who is on the Trump transition team. Gabbard also addressed how her criticism is personal.

I don't remember any AG, Fascist or RFebublican, ever making statements about the Dept. of Just-Us's integrity. It's odd that for the entire history of the Dept. of Just-Us, Americans believed it followed one rule of law. But since Obambi, it's clear that the Dept of Just Us is at best questionable. An honest goobernment agency would never, ever, have to send out its head sock puppet to proclaim its fair. Never. A Des;t. only does that when all Americans know the Dept isn't honest, just or fair.

fta----Ms Gabbard:
*"it's hard not to laugh at his statement where he tried to sound so serious, and so convicted, and so grave about never ever politicizing or weaponizing these government agencies when in fact that is what they are doing currently and what they have been doing for years," including during the Trump administration.
"I would tell Merrick Garland today, if you are serious about the words you have just delivered to the American people, why don't you start by investigating some of your own federal agencies...*
Crybaby G could do with a spanking... and no supper ....

The leftist and progressive Democrats have long been recognized by everyone who has been paying attention to fraudulently project on Trump all their evil deeds by using political dirty tricks. The bogus Russia, Russia, Russia false claims by the leftist and progressive Democrats are a prime example.

Throw any pro-life grandmothers in prison lately, Merrick?
Your time would be better spent going after all the terrorists who have come into the country from our southern border.

Sometimes the leftist projection is so ridiculous that it's laughable. The Department of Justice has become the Department of Get-Trump and the country has seen many examples since 2016. Leadership across the board needs a good housecleaning.

Every day I am grateful that Garland never got on the Supreme Court. He has done more than enough damage as Attorney General. Thankfully, the AG position is not a lifetime appointment.

There need to be trials and hard prison time for the guilty in order to start cleaning up this mess.

Garland would have been better off keeping his mouth shut rather than airing this ridiculous BS. It is more than obvious to everyone that weaponizing the law is exactly what the DOJ has been doing. That’s one of the reasons they are so desperate to defeat Trump. They are convinced that he will do to them what they did to him, and it would be richly deserved.

It's clear to most that Obama is behind Garland and what he does and says. Case in point. The number two person in the DOJ is Lisa Monaco, Obama's stooge who takes orders from him and transmits them to Merritt Garland. I agree with another poster that this lawfare started when Mr. Barack Hussein Obama was in office. Never before has the Left been so bold to go after their opponents with the FBI/DOJ's help.

It is good that MAGA patriots like this Gabbard, JD Vance, Jesse Waters, Greg Gutfeld, Dan Bongino, the Newsmax gang, and so many others are pushing back against the filthy lies being spewed by Sweet Barry's Deep State Marxocrats. While there's still time to save our nation.

I think that I loathe this corrupt little POS more than any of them.
Except maybe Mayorkas.

My thought is very close to #15.
The Just-Us department is following Joseph Geobbel's instructions to the letter. "Accuse your opponent of doing what you are actually doing."
Garland's lies are almost as nauseatingly blatant as those of his employee Mayorkas.
By the way.... isn't it a crime to lie to Congress?
But... who can prosecute these crooks?
