What the hell is wrong with the DOJ?

[Ohioboy]

Is everyone else hearing their statements saying things like no evidence Trump cleared Lafayette Square to have his picture taken, and that there was no evidence the rioters at the Capitol on Jan 6 wanted capture and harm anyone in the building? This is messed up! This don't believe your eyes stuff is getting too much.

1. Unfortunately this was predictable and I am disappointed.

2. its not the DOJ who made that statement.

Its the Interior Department’s inspector general who happens to be a Trump holdover. He was nominated by Trump in 2019.

3. Which of the two?

9. Thanks for clarifying that

I messed up on who exactly put out the statement, but there is a strong effort to sweep Jan 6, and other offenses under the rug, and I'm so sick of it I don't know what I'm hearing.

11. Exactly. Garland's DOJ seems totally headed in the wrong direction to me, just like Rachel said.

6. They're trying revive their buddy Norm

Problem is, Trump killed all the norms and there’s no getting back to business-as-usual. Unless you want to pervert justice and pay a huge political price with Democratic voters.

10. Joyce Vance

likened it to a little league baseball coach benching his own kid so as not to show favoritism except it turns out his own kid is the best player on the team. This is no time for getting back to norms or even playing fair fer chrissakes. I want to see Joe fire him and bring Sally Yates in like he should've done right up front. Need some serious kickass here. Stop being the fair/square Dems. STOP IT! The turtle fucked Garland and it is not up to Biden to unfuck that shit show. Dems wind up with no respect from either side.

8. Government lawyers' priority #1 is protecting the power and privilege of the government...

Everything else comes second.

13. Is it possible that Trumpers are still entrenched at DOJ?
