Merrick Garland: Critics of DOJ Are Attacking ‘Democracy’

Kristina Wong 23 Jun 2023

Attorney General Merrick Garland defended the FBI during a press conference on Friday amid Republican frustration over the agency stonewalling their requests for information related to Hunter Biden.

“I certainly understand that some have chosen to attack the integrity of the Justice Department as components and its employees by claiming that we do not treat like cases alike,” he said, adding, “This constitutes an attack on an institution that is essential to American democracy and essential to the safety of the American people. Nothing could be further from the truth.”

Garland stated:

    You’ve all heard me say many times that we make our cases based on the facts and the law. These are not just words. These are what we live by. They’re the foundation of the way we make these decisions. The agents of the FBI as well as the DEA, the ATF, our deputy US Marshals every day often at great personal risk, protect the American people and secure its safety. Our cases are based on their work. I could not be more proud to work with them.

Garland’s comments were in response to a reporter asking him about House Oversight Committee Republicans threatening to vote to hold FBI Director Christopher Wray in contempt for not handing over an FBI document where an informant told the agency that Joe and Hunter Biden received $5 million each in exchange for helping a Ukrainian oligarch with legal issues in 2015 and 2016.

Without a doubt.  How many people on the left though are willing to admit that??

They won't even admit the USA is a republic. Thus, all the "attacking democracy" BS.

The word "Democracy" nor any derivative thereof, is not to be found in our constitution.

Probably true, nonetheless it has democratic characteristics.

I remember when critical thinking was a college level course at many universities. Try finding it in a course listing anywhere these days.
