As we speak, Merrick Garland held a pep rally on the Division of Justice (DOJ) for his workers. Why now? Nicely, two nights in the past, we heard President Donald Trump take goal on the weaponization of DOJ, and we heard Kamala Harris’s non-response. Trump clearly received that trade, and the Swamp now has to play clean-up for her mess.

Do not forget that within the debate, the ABC moderators interrupted Trump’s reply about unlawful immigrant crime to push faux FBI statistics, which Trump swatted apart. In her response, relatively than discuss immigration, Harris introduced up that Trump has been prosecuted. Trump defined that every of the instances towards him had been faux, failing, and coordinated by Garland and the Biden-Harris administration. In fact, we all know that is true. However the icing on the cake is that Harris’ last non-answer was that Donald Trump would weaponize the DOJ.
They’re telling on themselves.
However the Harris marketing campaign technique, and the orders to Garland are clear: blame Trump for issues Kamala Harris and Joe Biden are doing proper now.
Frankly, it needs to be powerful to be an worker of Biden and Harris. You is perhaps requested to violate Departmental Protocol and do a pre-dawn raid of a former President however flip a blind eye to a legally worse state of affairs involving Joe and categorised paperwork in his storage. You is perhaps requested to surveil your neighbors at church, or in school board conferences. You is perhaps requested to not prosecute actual crimes involving immigration, opioids, or Black Lives Matter, however requested to prosecute grandma for praying on a sidewalk.
It have to be demoralizing to enter work every single day like this.
And for those who complain? In the event you observe the foundations, however go to the Inspector Normal, or to Congress, or to your boss? Overlook that. In violation of regulation, you would possibly end up and not using a job, suspended with out pay, sidelined, or along with your safety clearance revoked. That occurred below Garland and Harris to Marcus Allen, to Stephen Pal, and to so many others.

That is unacceptable.
So whereas Harris and Garland use their platforms to gaslight America, saying that the Division is “proud” to stay “impartial” and free from “political interference,” ask your self: who is admittedly politicizing the justice system?
Who’s bussing in tens or lots of of 1000’s of unlawful immigrants into our cities, merely for his or her votes? It’s Kamala Harris, not Donald Trump. Harris and the present administration are answerable for the tragedies on the border every single day.
Who refuses to say the names of Laken Riley, or Rachel Morin, or Jocelyn Nungaray, as a result of it’s not politically expedient? Kamala Harris, not Donald Trump.
Who has fundraised for violent criminals in Minnesota to maintain them out of jail? Kamala Harris, not Donald Trump. It’s the California soft-on-crime insurance policies that Harris dropped at that state that are tearing our cities aside, even, maybe particularly within the deep pink rural areas in swing states like Pennsylvania, Nevada, and Wisconsin that she desires to focus on.
Whose DOJ is sending letters to county clerks throughout the nation, and to Secretaries of State, warning them of prosecution in the event that they get too aggressive in defending our elections? Kamala Harris’s, not Donald Trump’s. Simply this previous week states performing below federal regulation to scrub up their voter rolls had been threatened by Garland. You’ll be able to’t make this up.
Whose DOJ has failed to analyze election points throughout the nation, from the election expertise being wide-open to international entry and management, to ballots being mailed with out proof of citizenship? Kamala Harris’s, not Donald Trump’s.

And whose DOJ has made head-fakes at shopper safety, whereas letting drug costs soar, and who was the tie-breaking vote for the Inflation Discount Act, which has led to Medicare Half D dropping 21 medication and elevating premiums by the double-digits, with far larger will increase to come back in 2025? Kamala Harris, not Donald Trump.
America is at a crossroads, and Merrick Garland is correct to be involved in regards to the politicization of DOJ and the federal authorities, however possibly he and Kamala Harris ought to look within the mirror.
