The recent events indicate that the Department of Justice has moved into a new stage of brazen partisanship. This may be necessary because it was previously under suspicion for its apparent political partisan approach in law enforcement.
An opportunity to do this presents itself because the current Continuing Resolution that funds the Department’s operations expires on December 3rd (along with the funding for all other Executive Branch Departments). I’d like to suggest that a carve-out be made, allowing the rest of the government to proceed apace while the Department of Justice stands down for a review of its seemingly questionable and highly partisan law enforcement practices, to wit:
On October 4, Attorney General Merrick Garland issued a memo to the FBI instructing the Bureau to “launch a series of additional efforts in the coming days designed to address the rise in criminal conduct directed toward school personnel.” In context, and considering its contents, the memo was widely interpreted as an effort to intimidate, silence, and threaten parents who have been appearing at school board meetings around the country to protest racially-charged, seemingly political indoctrination that has been introduced into K-12 schools in recent months. As we reported here, several state Attorneys General accused the Department of Justice of “weaponizing its resources against parents who dare to advocate for their children.” As if to illustrate how partisan this issue had become, the ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, Senator Chuck Grassley, on October 27 deemed Garland’s memo “inappropriate and out of bounds.”
We have since learned that “an internal National School Board Association (NSBA) memo shows that the Biden White House was ‘actively engaged’ with the NSBA before it sent a letter to the administration asking that federal authorities investigate parents.” In other words, the impetus for Garland’s memo to the FBI was a political set-up coordinated with the Biden White House.
Last week, the FBI searched the houses of several former and current residents. Project Veritas journalists. The ostensible purpose for this Search For Law Enforcement Evidence was to find the stolen/missing/discarded diary of the president’s daughter, Ashley Biden. When the FBI didn’t find it, they raided the home of Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe as well.
Whatever fig leaf value the “Ashley Biden Diary” story might have had, it evaporated today when The New York Times suddenly started publishing privileged communications between Project Veritas and its legal team. And this on the heels of a federal judge ordering the FBI to stop extracting data from James O’Keefe’s cell phones, seized in the raid. Again, federal law enforcement has been used to deliver a political hit on the Biden Administration’s enemies.Let that sink in, as they often say via social media.
We just learned that Steve Bannon (known as Democratic Party Hate Object) was indicted by the Department of Justice for contempt of Congress. Bannon failed to comply with a January 6 Commission subpoena. I’d lost count of how many criminal referrals Republicans had sent to the Obama Administration DOJ for precisely the same violation. Even Attorney General Eric Holder was held in contempt by them. These referrals from Republicans to DOJ are never accepted. This Limburger-stinky Political Witch Hunt subpoena now draws an accusation.
These issues need to be investigated. There is a pattern here, and it fairly screams “politically partisan law enforcement.” Will that be denied? It is possible. Of course. It’s time to stop it.
Interrogatories, hearings and testimony of Attorney General Garland as well FBI Director Wray are essential. We need this all before the Department of Justice gets another dime of funds. That could mean that 70% of staff will be furloughed on December 3, if so, In a Democratic Republic, there is no need for a political-partisan law enforcement agency. It exists. We must make sure it stops doing the same thing while we do repairs.
