| The corruption of Attorney General Merrick Garland |
| 2024-06-16 |
| [Jonathan Turley @ The Hill] This week, Attorney General Merrick Garland took to the pages of the Washington Post to lash out at critics who are spreading what he considers "conspiracy theories crafted and spread for the purpose of undermining public trust in the judicial process itself." His column, titled "Unfounded attacks on the Justice Department must end," missed the point. It is Garland himself who has become the problem. The solution is in Wilmington, Delaware, where 12 average citizens just showed a commitment to the rule of law that seems to be harder and harder for the attorney general to meet. Since his appointment, Garland has repeated a mantra that he is apolitical and would never yield to the pressures of politics or the White House. When he was nominated, I believed that claim and enthusiastically supported Garland’s confirmation. He was, I thought, the perfect man for the job after his distinguished judicial service as a moderate judge. I was wrong. Garland’s tenure as attorney general has shown a pronounced reluctance to take steps that would threaten President Biden. He slow-walked the appointment of a special counsel investigating any Biden, and then excluded from the counsel’s scope any investigation of the massive influence peddling operation by Hunter Biden, his uncle and others. |

| #5 /\ Garland wasn't in charge of the Waco action (which was headed by the ATF) but was in charge of the aftermath of the bombing of the federal center in Oklahoma City which was headed by the DOJ. |

| #4 Corruption is a correct term for a corrosive process where something, once pristine, degrades over time. Garland was in charge of Waco. The corruption process is long completed. He’s as corroded as a used Pinto hatchback driving around East Cleveland. |

| #2 not just DOJ which is holding back info on Biden the National Archives still has thousands of emails (maybe tens of thousands) that Biden sent or received from pseudonym addresses. Some have been released verbatim. Some redacted, some not yet released. |

| #1 QUESTION OF THE DAY What alternatives do, WE THE PEOPLE HAVE? When the Vote & Counting processes are clearly compromised. When elected officials no longer have to worry about Voters or corrective administrations to apply justice. When elected officials & their Elite Owners, control Social Media and the NEWS narrative, arrest, imprison bloggers and have silenced the Citizens. When elected officials violate the Bill Of Rights, and they write new rules/regs at are clear violation of the US Constitution regarding the 2nd amendment. So, I'll ask again. What legal recourse for Constitutional Justice, do WE THE PEOPLE HAVE? |
