Pursuing hoaxes and lies to further persecution of political opponents. Did our founders not establish this great nation to escape this very thing?
AG nominee Merrick Garland: Prosecuting Capitol ‘attackers and plotters’ will be priority
United Press International | Feb 23, 2021 | News |
At the first day of his Senate confirmation hearings Monday, U.S. Attorney General-designate Merrick Garland gave a rough outline of some of the things he’d do as the nation’s top law enforcement officer — from prosecuting those who attacked the Capitol last month to weighing federal gun reform policies.
Story continues below advertisementGarland, a former federal prosecutor before becoming a judge on the influential U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C., appeared before the Senate judiciary committee for questioning.
During his testimony, Garland said that overseeing prosecution for supporters of former President Donald Trump who were instrumental in attacking the Capitol will be his initial priority.
“If confirmed, I will supervise the prosecution of white supremacists and others who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6 — a heinous attack that sought to disrupt a cornerstone of our democracy: the peaceful transfer of power to a newly elected government,” Garland said in his opening statement.
“The attorney general takes an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies — foreign and domestic.”
Garland added that prosecution likely won’t be limited to those who physically attacked the building, but could also include fundraisers and other organizers for the rally that turned into an assault.

“We will pursue these leads, wherever they take us,” he said.

After being screwed out of a SCOTUS seat, ya think this dude has an axe to grind? Equal justice under the law is the last thing you’ll get from this Lefty. He’s already digging a hole to bury the Durham investigation. Prepare for lots of domestic surveillance of Americans, with the full cooperation of MSM. It will make what Obama did look timid.

What “Durham investigation”? The one where he helped Fat Willy Barr find the All-You-Can-Eat buffets?
Durham is/was a joke.

Do you really think he’s in charge? Just like Biden, he’ll be told what to do and when.
The persons behind him are Obama and Kommie Kammie. He and Barr need to be charged with sedition.

First things first. He should go after the Black Supremacists and others, involved in their many acts of insurrection, causing BILLIONS of dollars in property damages and the murder of over thirty people.
First things first.

Now, Mohandjob. He can’t do that. Billy Barr told him he must finish ‘the mission’ by continuing to go after Trump supporters, etc. There simply isn’t enough time to pursue Black supremacists and friends. He wants to make Billy Barr proud.

I’m sure he espouses the “What difference does it make now?” thought process, on the “Peaceful ” riots, that occurred across America. So, nothing will come of any of that.

Take a close look at Garland’s eyes….he looks defeated before he even starts his witch hunt.
No life in those eyes.
He knows he’s doing wrong. I doubt he’ll last six months.

If you want to deal with the “plotters” and “planners” of the “riots” …. arrest, try, and execute Bowser & Pelosi.

The first person arrested for the attempted take over of the Capitol building was a member of Antifa. Will Merrick Garland investigate the involvement of Antifa and BLM. If he does as he should as a good prosecutor he must determine the money flow. This will bring him to George Soros. Will he thoroughly investigate his funding these two anti-subversive groups and they’re violent Anti-American activities funded by him from Jan. 2020 through Dec 2020 and on Jan. 6 2021??

He will find out they were NOT Trump supporters.

Fear not, Ms. Pamela. Keep working. That barn door slides both ways and the internet never forgets. Presentation of evidence was shut down at the senate trial for a reason; razor wire and fences are surrounding the capital for a reason. People are awake because of your work and a tiny ground swell is turning full blown tsunami. Truth will come out, not just for the USA, but for the world. You helped make that happen! You are a G_d created force of nature, lass!
