ATTORNEY GENERAL MERRICK GARLAND'S DISINGENUITY
IT IS ALMOST ALWAYS THE COVER-UP RATHER THAN THE EVENT THAT CAUSES TROUBLE-Howard Baker-
On January 23, 2023, Attorney General Merrick Garland said that his agency hasn’t used a double standard when investigating President Joe Biden’s classified case. Garland states: "We Adhere to the rule of law," among other things. "We do not have different rules for Democrats or Republicans, different rules for the powerful or the powerless, different rules for the rich or poor. We apply the facts and the law in each case in a neutral and non-partisan matter without regard to who the subjects are.” Garland told reporters during a roundtable on Monday. He added, “That is what we’ve done in each of these cases. And that is what we’ll continue to do.”
It raises the question of why AG Garland needed to come out to make these statements. Is it because of all the criticism and public perception that a double standard of Justice exists and that the system is corrupt and broken? Or as a ruse to cover up the origins of the biggest sedition corruption conspiracy scandal in U.S. history, the Russian hoax, the suppression of Hunter Biden’s Laptop, and President Biden pay for play influencing scandal?
Although contextually, AG Garland is right that there are no different rules or laws, that is not the issue; the issue is how AG Garland, and his Department of Justice (DOJ) Prosecutors apply the rule of law. Based on Garland’s comments and DOJ actions in using the law against its citizenry, Trump and Make America Great Against (MAGA) supporters lead one to conclude that the law is selectively applied to destroy Trump and the MAGA movement.
If ever there was a time to call out the "Big Lie Theory," the time is now. AG Garland's comments are disingenuous, giving a false appearance of simple frankness and misleading the American public. Furthermore, AG Garland's comments do not reflect his actions as AG nor the actions of the DOJ.
During President Trump’s Presidency, there were no instances of Trump instructing the AG, DOJ, or FBI to go after his political opponents. In fact, after the Trump election, Trump was asked if he would lock up Hillary Clinton and Trump responded that he had no interest in investigating Hillary Clinton.
However, for the last six years, the public has observed that former President Trump has become the most investigated individual in U.S. History, with numerous FBI investigations, two impeachment trials, the January 6th Committee Stalinist hearing inferring criminality by Trump, and now a Special Counsel (SC) investigation for interfering in 2020 POTUS election, mishandling of Classified Information (CI) and Obstruction of Justice. As of yet, these investigations have failed to produce evidence that would meet the elements of a criminal statute or the sufficient evidence standard that would stand up in a court of law.
The most incredible illustration of a double standard of Justice is the cover-up by former AG Barr and AG Garland, DOJ, and FBI of the origins of the Russian hoax, the seditious conspiratorial agreement of the Hillary/DNC/Obama/Biden designed plan to defraud the public, suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story and President Biden’s pay for play influencing scandal. Durham court filings, the release of Classified documents, and recent Twitter file releases showed how those involved in the planning and manufacturing of evidence, resulted in interfering in two POTUS elections, 2016 and 2020, by using the classification system to hide their criminality by making the Russians the responsible party to deceive the U.S. Congress and the American public by over-classifying documents and censoring information from the public to destroy the Trump Presidency and the MAGA movement.
HOUSE REPUBLICAN OVERSIGHT MANAGERS AND INVESTIGATORS need to start at the origins of the conspiracy, how the FBI/DOJ/IC became weaponized, and why the check and balances in the system to prevent weaponization failed by connecting the dots in proving the pattern of a conspiracy by investigating the overt acts and answering the forbidden questions that no one wants to ask.
[Note: The search for the truth by House Republicans is the only viable option for restoring the public trust in the Rule of Law and providing a legal pathway for the next POTUS in holding those accountable for their roles in the largest sedition scandal in U.S. history.
This weaponization and politicization of the DOJ, FBI & IC began with the Obama administration in 2012, abusing NSA intelligence collection tools in unmasking and spying on American citizens for political purposes. DOJ oversight review found that the Obama administration and the FBI were using NSA intelligence collection tools to unmask and spy on American citizens for political purposes. On March 9, 2016, the Department of Justice oversight review discovered outside FBI contractors accessing raw FISA data. However, the findings never disclosed the identity of this private contracting entity working for the FBI and explained what this unknown private contracting entity did with the NSA information.
All bureaucrats who held positions of authority within the DOJ and FBI in 2016 under the Obama administration during the DOJ/FBI crossfire hurricane and Mueller investigations of Trump, who now have similar power functions in the Biden administration, need to be interviewed by HOUSE REPUBLICAN INVESTIGATORS regarding their roles in the conspiracy. Here is a partial list: Lisa Monaco, John Carlin, Assistant AG head of DOJ National Security Division, Mary McCord, special counsel to January 6th committee, Matthew Olsen, Vanita Gupta, Samantha Powers, Victora Nuland, Jon Finer, Susan Rice, Jake Sullivan, FBI Supervisory Intelligent Analyst Brain Auten and Special Agent in Charge FBI Washington Field Office Timothy Thibault. Sullivan, Rice, and Powell participated in the unmasking of members of Team Trump and promoted the Trump-Russian collusion hoax.
President Obama took the foundational tools created under the Patriot Act and used the intelligence system architecture to create a weapon for his fundamental transformation. Obama and former AG Eric Holder assembled an alliance of ideologues within the government (intel community) and the private sector (big tech and finance), creating the most extensive government weapon. The two significant issues for the House Oversight Committee are the Trump-Russian Collusion Hoax and the weaponization and politicalizing of the DOJ/FBI National Security Division (NSD) by the Obama and Biden administrations are intertwined.
NSD has no Congressional or Inspector General oversight, and Jay Bratt, the top counterintelligence official in Justice’s NSD, who happens to be a Democratic National Committee donor, has been coordinating the Mar-a-Lago investigation with Alan Kohler, who heads the FBI’s counterintelligence division. Kohler was close to Stefan Halper, who was an FBI source whom the FBI ran against Team Trump, and Kohler worked closely with discredited FBI Crossfire Hurricane Agent Stephen Somma.]
Time magazine’s February 15, 2021, cover story publishes a story and pulls back the curtain on a “conspiracy” among a “well-funded cabal of powerful people” in an “extraordinary shadow effort” that successfully pushed Trump from office. “In a way, Trump was right,” writes Time national political correspondent Molly Ball. “There was a conspiracy unfolding behind the scenes.” She later describes this “conspiracy” as something that “sounds like a paranoid fever dream — a well-funded cabal of powerful people, ranging across industries and ideologies, working together behind the scenes to influence perceptions, change rules and laws, steer media coverage and control the flow of information.” Yet Ball makes precisely these kinds of claims in the Time article and goes on to substantiate them.”
[Note: Yet AG Garland DOJ is investigating Trump for interference in the 2020 POTUS based on the Democrats and the January 6 Committee allegations that there was no voter fraud or rigging of the 2020 election and that Trump comments incited the “insurrection.” The January 6 Committee and leftist legal media pundits want the public to believe that Trump’s statement, “They rigged it as they’ve never rigged an election before,” is evidence of a crime. Another example of the double standard in applying the law highlighted by AG Garland and DOJ actions by ignoring the allegations of election rigging raised in various media articles where Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, in direct election funding of $400 million on the 2020 election, in the states of Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Louisiana.]
On July 22, 2022, during an NBC televised interview with NBC Commentor Lestor Holt, Garland made the following comments: Garland said “that the televised hearings by the House January 6 committee highlighted the truth of what happened … and what a risk it meant for our democracy. And he acknowledged that Justice Department investigators learned things from the congressional testimony. We will hold accountable anyone who was criminally responsible for attempting to interfere with the transfer, legitimate, lawful transfer of power from one administration to the next, and that Trump’s possible candidacy for President in 2024 would not impact the Justice Department investigation. Trump has not said whether he will run again.” Garland called the January 6th probe the most-wide ranging investigation in its history.”
[Note: Richard Nixon, the only President to resign from office, was never charged with a crime but was pardoned by President Gerald Ford.]On July 27, 2020, NBC News reported that The Department of Justice is investigating then-President Donald Trump’s actions leading up to the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol as part of its criminal probe of efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. However, the inquiry is related to the department’s broader probe of efforts to overturn the 2020 election results and not a criminal investigation of Trump himself.
AG Garland and DOJ are searching for evidence of a crime from the information presented by the January 6 Committee. Alan Dershowitz, famed Harvard law professor, warns AG Garland and the DOJ that the current search for criminal charges to pin on Trump could create a “dangerous” precedent.
DOUBLE STANDARD-DESTROYING PUBLIC TRUST
2016 ELECTION 2020 ELECTION HYPOCRISY
The hypocrisy by the January 6th Committee, Biden administration, DNC, AG Garland, and the media seem to forget the attempts by those on the left and the Democrat party in their efforts to stop the 2016 Electoral process. It’s okay to contest an election if you’re on the left but unamerican if you challenge an election on the right.
An article by Kyle Cheney, POLITICO, dated December 17, 2016, titled “Electors under siege.” Cheney reported that the nation's 538 presidential electors had been thrust into the political foreground like never before in American history. In the aftermath of a uniquely polarizing presidential contest, the once-anonymous electors are squarely in the spotlight, targeted by death threats, harassing phone calls, and reams of hate mail. For example, one Texas Republican elector said he had been bombarded with more than 200,000 emails. Yet there was no investigation by the AG, DOJ, or FBI.
Kevin R. Brock, a former assistant director of intelligence for the FBI and principal deputy director of the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC), provided the following analysis and examples of the dangers of weaponization and the double standard in the application of the law:
In October 2021, Biden unleashed AG Garland's DOJ to intimidate parents around the country who had begun protesting school board policies aligned with Democratic Party agendas. AG Garland dutifully issued an obsequious memo directing the FBI and U.S. attorneys to focus resources on potential acts of violence against school boards. Since there had been zero actual acts of violence associated with the parental protests, the memo was seen as a message of intimidation by a robust department to chill speech the President's party didn't like. It was a gross misuse of DOJ authority.
November 2021, the execution of search warrants DOJ's Southern District of New York had the FBI execute pre-dawn search warrants at two homes of Project Vertis journalists believed to have a diary belonging to Biden's adult daughter. Based on facts known publicly, what isn't clear is why the President's daughter's diary would be a matter of federal investigative interest, particularly in light of the journalists' claimed efforts to return the diary to both Ashley Biden and law enforcement prior to the searches.
April 2022, the threat made by former Biden press Jan Paski warning Alabama Republican state legislators if the bill they passed to prevent chemicals such as puberty blockers or surgeries such as castration and hysterectomy from being administered to prepubescent children, became law that they have been "put on notice" by the Department of Justice (DOJ) for possible violations of the Constitution and federal law. Brock pointed out to the public that DOJ doesn't have the power to put lawmakers "on notice." Brock said the White House makes up the DOJ swim lane; it doesn't exist.
Brock made several salient points in his two articles:
No reasonable person wants a Justice Department with daunting powers to surveil, tap and arrest people for being used to further one party's policy objectives over the others. Neither the President nor the attorney general legitimately possesses such authority.
The attorney general is a Cabinet member unlike any other. While the DOJ may support specific policy goals of a president, such as an emphasis on violent crime or cybercrime, it must maintain a healthy, independent distance from the White House. In theory, this is because no one is above the law — even the President and his staff are subject to investigation if warranted.
It's disturbing enough that we have a president who believes provisions articulated in the Constitution or federal law give teachers, doctors, or other third-party adults the right to steer prepubescent children toward life-altering drugs and surgeries if deemed necessary, not tell their parents. But that we also have a president who would abuse the levers of law enforcement to intimidate any opposition to his administration's extremist views is, perhaps, even more dangerous.
Lastly, in the search for truth, it is hoped that the House Republican investigations will educate the public on how systemically corrupt the Justice system has become in galvanizing the American voters for the 2024 Presidential election. So, the American people will have the final say in determining the government they deserve, tyranny or freedom.
