Attorney General Merrick Garland warned on Thursday that it’s very “dangerous and outrageous” for anyone to dare criticize the Justice Department and its blatant chicanery and machinations.
Speaking to DOJ staff from the Justice Department’s headquarters in Washington, D.C., he portrayed the department as the giant victim of mean Americans who refuse to get with the program and bend the knee.
Listen to some of what he said below:

He started by decrying the so-called “escalation of attacks” (criticism) the department has faced ever since he assumed office.
As is typical of leftist partisans, he attributed all the criticism to “conspiracy theories, dangerous falsehoods, efforts to bully and intimidate career public servants by repeatedly and publicly singling them out, and threats of actual violence.”
“It is dangerous to target and intimidate individual employees of this Department simply for doing their jobs,” he added. “And it is outrageous that you have to face these unfounded attacks because you are doing what is right and upholding the rule of law.”
Uh-huh…
Keep in mind this same DOJ has prosecuted non-violent, peaceful pro-life activists while doing nothing — absolutely nothing — about all the attacks on churches and pregnancy centers that occurred after Roe v. Wade was overturned by the Supreme Court in 2022.

Responding to Garland’s whining and grievances, social media users pounced on him for being so utterly full of it.
Look:
Gee maybe if the DOJ wasn’t a conglomerate of tyrants who target American citizens for political reasons, citizens would be more friendly.

Notice he doesn’t name anything. Just giving generalities. You’re not allowed to criticize your government don’t you know peasants

You know what is “dangerous and outrageous” is weaponizing the DOJ against political opponents and then pretending that you are not doing it.

What scum.
Garland is a hook nosed Shylock like villain who has weaponized the justice system against political opponents and even imprisoned Christians for praying.— Colonel Mustard (@ColMustard88) September 12, 2024
Tell that to your colleagues AG Garland
Anybody ever heard of Jack Smith, Michael Coangelo , Lisa Monico, Lisa Page, Bruce Ore, Peter Sztrok, Fanni Willis, Leticia James, Alvin Bragg
Who obsess over using their power to go after their political enemies

Garland later dubiously claimed that the Biden-Harris DOJ isn’t in the business of pursuing politically motivated prosecutions.
“Federal prosecutors and agents may never make a decision regarding an investigation or prosecution for the purpose of affecting any election or the purpose of giving an advantage or disadvantage to any candidate or political party!” he claimed.
Then why did the DOJ choose to let President Joe Biden off the hook for possessing classified documents but prosecute former President Donald Trump for the same crime!?
And why was outspoken dissident Tulsi Gabbard put on the terrorist watch list?

Like before, social media users pounced on him for his dishonesty.
Look:
gaslighting again … election inference … and he wonders why the American people are angry and don’t trust the DOJ

Actions speak louder than words. Garland can pay lip service all he likes, but his campaign of politically motivated investigations and prosecutions of Trump prove the allegation of DOJ partisanship.

Then why did it happen in 2020 , when they had Zuckerberg censor the laptop story saying it was Russian disinformation when the fbi had the laptop in hand & knew it wasn’t disinformation.

They knew Biden had turned up classified documents in multiple locations against law and policy AND that Hunter was being investigated since 2018. They chose to keep that secret and announce investigations against Trump for lesser charges prior to the mid-term election and…

This would be funny if they were not actively punishing anyone who goes against the leftie dogma. They are arresting protestors who think abortion is murder. They are putting patriots on watch lists. They allow terrorist sympathizers to riot and attack Jews. The DOJ needs a…
