wishing former Attorney General #MerrickGarland continued enjoyment in his well deserved retirement from #YouHadOneJob — huge congrats on overseeing the iPhone crisis...
#MerrickGarland
But during #Biden’s / #MerrickGarland’s 4 yrs the #DOJ failed to enter into any court-binding consent decrees, an issue that legal experts warned could put the dept's #police #accountability work at risk of being undone.
Under Dhillon's *leadership*, the #CivilRights Division has lost >100 of its attorneys through firings, deferred resignation agreements, demotions & resignations.
Conservatives lack a sense of virtue | @destiny
At least she tried to stop #Trump by proving he is a criminal. It should have been Merrick Garland's job. 🙁
The fact that she is both black and female means that an indictment and a prison sentence will come swiftly, and the American public will just assume she is guilty because #Trump says so. :eyeroll:

#Trump #DOJ unveiled a revised #regulation for #leak investigations on Thurs, restoring the ability of federal investigators to use #CourtOrders, #warrants & #subpoenas to go after #reporters’ phone records, notes or testimony.
The move by AG #PamBondi rolls back a #policy from her predecessor, #MerrickGarland, who was appointed by President #Biden, that flatly banned going after reporters’ info in leak investigations.

The #DOJ’s former policy, implemented under AG #MerrickGarland, barred the #Justice Dept from compelling records from #reporters, unless the #journalist was a suspect in a criminal investigation unrelated to newsgathering or they had obtained information through #criminal methods.
#PamBondi said the DOJ will employ “procedural protections” before demanding information from reporters, including giving advance notice to the #journalists & requiring leadership approval in some situations….
>> It's a self-sustaining mirage.
The mirage is not just the result of Right making themselves seem inevitable, invulnerable & ubiquitous, but also Left making themselves invisible and inconsequential.
Just like #MAGA, there is a #Democratic cult too.
"#Schumer could do no wrong" is the new "#Biden could do no wrong" — despite Schumer's YES vote on the cloture for CR and Biden's #virtueSignaling on #MerrickGarland and his subsequent kneecapping.
That was a significant milestone, yes. But I submit the start of the constitutional crisis was when #McTurtleFace #MitchMcConnell refused to hold confirmation hearings on #SCOTUS nominee #MerrickGarland Then worsened when he failed to #Impeach #IQ45 for #Jan6 (...cont'd...)
#OnThisDay in 2021, #MerrickGarland confirmed as US Attorney General by US Senate.

I am terrified to think that I am a 6 in agreement on a scale of 1- 10, 10 being totally. To comfort myself, I rage against #RobertMueller #MerrickGarland #JoeBiden and 'dem.
Trump DOJ demands list of thousands of FBI agents, others who worked on Jan. 6 and Trump investigations for possible firing
#CorruptTrump
"Politicizing the DoJ"
A Criminal is running the country now. @FBI
#MerrickGarland huh?

@DemocracyMattersALot
After just 4 years of #MerrickGarland as AG, I can't help but see the bright side that he didn't end up with a lifetime appointment on the High Court. #SCotUS 🤔
Senator #JohnKennedy (R-LA) asked #KashPatel who investigated Timothy McVeigh, who killed 168 people in the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing. “The #FBI,” Patel answered.
Another correct answer would have been #MerrickGarland, the Biden’s AG who years earlier played a key role in the prosecution of the McVeigh case. Kennedy & other Senate #Republicans have spent years railing against Garland’s supposed mismanagement of the #DOJ.

Over a dozen Justice Department employees who worked with special counsel #JackSmith to prosecute #DonaldTrump have been fired. #Trump administration continues its #purge of government workers who are perceived to be disloyal to the president.
@indivisibleteam
as long as ineffective, wishy-washy individuals like ##MerrickGarland are elevated to positions of power in the #Democratic party then they will never be able to counter the rise of the #FourthReich in #Murrica
@PattyHanson #MerrickGarland failed in his most important task! #Politics
How #MerrickGarland stymied one of #Trump’s day one #executiveorders before leaving office.
Trump wants to ramp up the #federal #deathpenalty. Before he left, the former #attorneygeneral made that harder.
Thanks #MerrickGarland. This is on your head. #Felon47’s paramilitary was just pardoned.

Trump pardons about 1,500 Jan....
Reposting this link. Many important arguments in favor of DOJ’s paths to prosecuting Jan 6 transgressions, showing places where pundits Goodman and Conway overlooked key investigational procedures and the delay tactics of the primary suspect. And this great and handy timeline. Thank you again #MarcyWheeler #jan6 #jacksmith #merrickgarland #doj
