In the present day, Merrick Garland held a morale rally for his workers on the Division of Justice (DOJ). Why now?

Bear in mind, throughout the debate, the ABC moderator interrupted Trump’s reply about unlawful immigrant crime to push out false FBI statistics, which Trump dismissed. Harris didn’t tackle immigration in her response, however talked about that Trump had been indicted. Trump defined that each case in opposition to him was false, failed, and coordinated by Garland and the Biden-Harris administration. After all, we all know this to be true. However the icing on the cake was Harris’ last non-answer: Donald Trump would weaponize the Division of Justice.
They’re speaking to themselves.
However Harris’ marketing campaign technique, and her orders to Garland, had been clear: blame Trump for what Kamala Harris and Joe Biden are doing now.
Frankly, it should be robust being a Biden and Harris staffer. You could be requested to violate departmental protocol by conducting a pre-dawn raid on the previous president, however flip a blind eye to a legally worse state of affairs involving Joe and the categorized paperwork in his storage. It’s possible you’ll be requested to spy in your neighbors at church or faculty board conferences. You could be requested to not prosecute actual crimes involving immigration, opioids, or Black Lives Matter, however you’ll be requested to prosecute grandma praying on the sidewalk.
Going to work like this each day should be very miserable.
What when you complain? What when you comply with the principles however go to the inspector common, or Congress, or your boss? Neglect that. When you violate the legislation, you might end up unemployed, suspended with out pay, marginalized, or have your safety clearance revoked. Marcus Allen, Stephen Good friend and plenty of others have skilled this beneath Garland and Harris.

That is unacceptable.
So whereas Harris and Garland use their platforms to gaslight America, saying the Justice Division is “proud” to stay “unbiased” and free from “political interference,” ask your self: Who is actually politicizing the justice system?
Who’s busing tens or a whole bunch of hundreds of unlawful immigrants into our cities only for their votes? That is Kamala Harris, not Donald Trump. Harris and the present administration are accountable for the each day tragedy on the border.
Who refuses to call Laken Riley or Rachel Morin or Jocelyn Nungaray as a result of it’s politically inconvenient? Kamala Harris, not Donald Trump.
Who raises cash for violent criminals in Minnesota to maintain them out of jail? Kamala Harris, not Donald Trump. The soft-on-crime insurance policies that Harris brings to California are tearing aside our cities and maybe even particularly the deep-red rural areas of swing states like Pennsylvania, Nevada and Wisconsin that she needs to focus on.
Whose Division of Justice is sending letters to county clerks and secretaries of state throughout the nation warning them they are going to be prosecuted in the event that they go too aggressive in defending our elections? Kamala Harris’s, not Donald Trump’s. Simply final week, states purging their voter rolls beneath federal legislation had been threatened by Garland. You possibly can’t make this up.
Whose Division of Justice has failed to analyze election issues throughout the nation, from election know-how vast open to international entry and management, to mail-in ballots with out proof of citizenship? Kamala Harris’s, not Donald Trump’s.

Whose Justice Division cheated on client protections whereas letting drug costs skyrocket, and who was the deciding vote on the Inflation Discount Act, which resulted in Medicare Half D dropping 21 medication and elevating premiums by two digits, will progress be larger in 2025? Kamala Harris, not Donald Trump.
America is at a crossroads, and Merrick Garland is correct to fret concerning the politicization of the Justice Division and federal authorities, however possibly he and Kamala Harris ought to take an excellent look within the mirror.
