Merrick Garland Is The Worst Attorney General In American History
By: Elle Purnell
December 10, 2024Even Joe Biden, who nominated Garland, appears to have caught onto the fact that Garland’s DOJ is infected with partisan corruption.
For once, left and right agree: Merrick Garland is the worst.
I was surprised when I first saw this article from MSNBC and CNN contributor Dean Obeidallah declaring Garland to be “America’s Worst Attorney General.” Had it finally dawned on someone in our corporate press that smearing parents as “domestic terrorists” and prosecuting political opponents of no less stature than a president might have been a bad idea? (No, it hadn’t.)
The failure for which Garland deserves infamy, according to Obeidallah, was not trying hard enough to throw his boss’s presidential opponent in prison. For that insufficient zeal, he says Garland is “the biggest failure of an attorney general in our lifetimes.”
Even Joe Biden, who nominated Garland, appears to have caught onto the fact that Garland’s DOJ is infected with partisan corruption. Biden accused Garland’s department of having “singled out” certain targets for prosecution based on political reasons, and then “selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted” them and “treated [them] differently” than other defendants.
“Raw politics has infected this process,” Biden wrote last Sunday in a letter absolving his son of any federal crimes he might have committed over the past decade. (What an awkward end for Garland, after all he’s done to protect the Bidens!)
Biden’s more correct than he knows. Raw politics, indeed, has rotted the nation’s highest law enforcement agency. Thanks to Garland, Americans are rapidly losing confidence in the DOJ and its shock troops in the FBI. As Garland prepares to leave his post in disgrace, it’s worth revisiting the failures that actually make him “America’s worst attorney general.
