The Garland Thread 1/

Some fear the Department of Justice (DOJ) is not going to prosecute Trumpomobsters, in particular January 6th seditionists. Some think Attorney General Merrick Garland is protecting Trump and his criminal gang

That is madness

Let's do this once & for all

The Garland Thread 2/

The US Department of Justice has 113,000 employees of which more than 10,000 are attorneys. It is BY FAR the largest law firm on the planet. Five times larger than largest private law firm of America

They are all PROSECUTORS

They ENFORCE THE THE LAW

The Garland Thread 3/

These are not DEFENSE attorneys who try to get criminals off on technicalities

These are not CONTRACT lawyers who try to find wiggle room in a contract to screw a partner

These are career professionals who want to ENFORCE THE LAW

To prosecute CRIMINALS

The Garland Thread 4/

Some people on TV chat shows, and some here on Twitter, are suggesting that because Trumpomobsters are
Republican
or rich
or white
or men
or powerful

that they can escape justice. I hear you. You have SEEN injustice on TV, often racially biased

But note..

The Garland Thread 5/

Do you remember this dude? A chap named Trump. Was a Republican President just a coupla years ago

He selected as his Attorney General an ultra-conservative, senior Republican Senator by the name of Jeff Sessions. He ran the DOJ from Feb 2017 to Nov 2018

The Garland Thread 6/

When the DOJ was run by an ULTRA CONSERVATIVE Republican AG, Sessions

It prosecuted the personal attorney to the sitting Republican President.

Trump's attorney Michael Cohen was convicted to prison. It does not get more powerful than that

The Garland Thread 7/

When the DOJ was run by an ULTRA CONSERVATIVE Republican AG, Sessions

It prosecuted the National Security Advisor to the USA, a friend to the sitting Republican President

Trump's NatSec Advisor, the Russian General Mike Flynn was convicted. It doesn't get

The Garland Thread 8/

The Trump pardon has NOTHING to do with Department of Justice prosecution of Trumpomobsters!

Just because a crooked President Trump pardoned the Russian General Mike Flynn, does not in any way diminish that DOJ did its job. They got a conviction on Flynn!

The Garland Thread 9/

When the DOJ was run by an ULTRA CONSERVATIVE Republican AG, Sessions

It prosecuted the Sitting President's Campaign Chairman, a filthy rich long term Republican power broker

Paulie 'Ostrich Coat' Manafort, it does not get more powerful than that

The Garland Thread 10/

This EXACT SAME Department Of Justice, just 3 years ago, when TRUMP WAS PRESIDENT, was prosecuting REPUBLICAN TRUMP FRIENDS, some of most powerful, white, rich, men to prison sentences.

There is NOTHING WRONG WITH DOJ

This same DOJ is now run by Garland

The Garland Thread 11/

You say, but Bill Barr. Yes. Fred Flintstone's evil Nazi cousin, Bill Barrstone was a crooked criminal Attorney General

We all know this

TWO of Nixons Attorneys General were convicted with Watergate. STFU. Crooked attorneys go to prison

So will Barr

The Garland Thread 12/

What happened when America's most crooked Attorney General ever, Bill Barr tried to corrupt the DOJ? Let's examine

When the DOJ was run by a crooked Republican AG, Barr

It investigated the personal attorney to the sitting Republican President. Giuliani

The Garland Thread 13/

DOJ found Giuliani so corrupt, they asked for an FBI raid of Rudy's office in 2020. Was a corrupt Bill Barr able to prevent that?

Of course not

Barr was ONLY ABLE to postpone the inevitable. DOJ are PROSECUTORS. Giuliani is a CRIMINAL. Was raided in 2021

The Garland Thread 14/

When the DOJ was run by a crooked Republican AG, Barr

It investigated the PERSONAL FRIEND to the sitting President, long time Republican and GENUINE BILLIONAIRE, Tom Barrack

Only his ARREST was delayed by Barr. Barrack was arrested in 2021

The Garland Thread 15/

When the DOJ was run by a crooked Republican AG, Barr

It launched an investigation into a SITTING REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN, Matt Gaetz, a personal friend to the SITTING Republican President, and regular visitor to Trump's PRIVATE RESIDENCE

It doesn't get..

The Garland Thread 16/

During Bill Barr, the Department Of Justice

started an investigation into personal attorney to sitting President

started investigation into filthy-rich Repblican friend to sitting President

And started an investigation into a sitting Congressman...


The Garland Thread 17/

If you think THIS Department of Justice is corrupt, is shielding Trump, is somehow not going to prosecute the criminals

YOU ARE SOFT IN YOUR HEAD

Stop it. Just stop it. These 6 were WHITE, MEN, Republicans, rich, powerful, and all FRIENDS TO TRUMP

The Garland Thread 18/

As to Merrick Garland

Garland was the CHOICE for SCOTUS Justice by ... President Barack Obama

[does crossy thing]

I do not need anything else. He was Obama's

[does crossy thing]

pick. This is enough for me

BUT for those of you who are nonbelievers..

The Garland Thread 19/

Bill Barr had BLOCKED the raid of Giuliani by FBI

In April 2021, Garland authorized the raid of Giuliani by FBI

There is all the proof you need. DOJ is healthy. FBI is healthy. Garland is on the side of justice

Oh? you want more?

The Garland Thread 20/

Bill Barr had BLOCKED the arrest of Tom Barrack

In July 2021, Garland authorized arrest of Barrack

That is all the proof you need. DOJ is healthy. Attorney General Merrick Garland is not shielding Trumpomobosters or rich Republicans or powerful white men

The Garland Thread 21/

Garland's DOJ has so far charged 768 people for January 6th

& they have ONLY STARTED

The DOJ charged 11 Oath Keepers already with SEDITIOUS CONSPIRACY

This is ONLY THE BEGINNING

DOJ has ONGOING criminial investigation into Bannon incl THREE PROSECUTORS

The Garland Thread 22/

The Dept of Justice are the BEST prosecutors on the planet. They HATE criminals. Even when a CROOKED Bill Barr ran DOJ, they continued to investigate criminals incl Trumpomobsters

Attorney General Garland is a GOOD MAN

Leave him alone. Let him do his job

And I like the way the author says “does the crossy thing” every time he mentions Obama’s name.

"People as high as Trump never go to jail." or "the system is rigged" to justify not getting prosecuting Trump and implying that somehow Trump is innocent. Or that the crime wasn't as bad because nothing ever became of the charges. I keep saying though "that we as country have to prosecute him." If we dont it will make the next situation much worse.
My wonderful Grandmother was downright angry when Ford pardoned Nixon. and I am so grateful she was it shows how compassionate she was. Trump would have gotten an earful from her, thats for sure.
