Searched the one word *one* and *party*

These acts and threats of violence are not associated with any one set of partisan or ideological views.


The central norm is that, in our criminal investigations, there cannot be different rules depending on one’s political party or affiliation. There cannot be different rules for friends and foes. And there cannot be different rules for the powerful and the powerless.

There is only one rule: we follow the facts and enforce the law in a way that respects the Constitution and protects civil liberties.

We conduct every investigation guided by the same norms. And we adhere to those norms even when, and especially when, the circumstances we face are not normal.


I guess I didn't hear or read the same thing Hartmann did?

And Garland is right - just look at the number of groups involved in 1/6.
Did Garland just say...? [View all] BaronChocula Jan 2022 OP

I agree with you DENVERPOPS Jan 2022 #61
Also, he is the AG TimeToGo Jan 2022 #65
Agreed DENVERPOPS Jan 2022 #73
He's probably getting a phone call from the White House right about now FakeNoose Jan 2022 #7
Vice President Harris should have written his speech. BaronChocula Jan 2022 #9
True that! BComplex Jan 2022 #12
I know, I wanted her for Attorney General too FakeNoose Jan 2022 #14
That's what I think Rebl2 Jan 2022 #71
No, "VP Harris should have been appointed AG," that would've been a demotion from being a senator. PunkinPi Jan 2022 #79
I disagree, He said, We don't care if the threat is made by a liberal or a conservative, all threats ShazamIam Jan 2022 #10
He said verbatim what I quoted in my post. BaronChocula Jan 2022 #21
he essentially equated BLM protests with violent storming of Capitol. Grasswire2 Jan 2022 #27
He didn't say that, that is how you heard it. I don't like it but understand why he had to say it. ShazamIam Jan 2022 #48
the DOJ has to appear unbiased... agingdem Jan 2022 #11
I initially cringed (exploded), but then realized if anyone has to thread that needle... Pacifist Patriot Jan 2022 #13
Agreed, and that's a good way of putting it. nt crickets Jan 2022 #26
not one second of it... agingdem Jan 2022 #31
He could have said nothing about political ideology BaronChocula Jan 2022 #24
He had to address it since conservatives and their media have publicly claimed ShazamIam Jan 2022 #32
I agree. Pacifist Patriot Jan 2022 #42
It's not his job to placate weasely pro-violence white nationalists. BaronChocula Jan 2022 #45
That is how you see it, you wanted a more divisive partisan kind of statement. I think he made it ShazamIam Jan 2022 #47
I think the DOJ is focused on Federal & Congressional law and regulations, the Supreme Court makes ShazamIam Jan 2022 #78
Yup. Individual responsibility, rather than group excuses. lindysalsagal Jan 2022 #56
Ugh budkin Jan 2022 #15
That was the one clunker in the speech. crickets Jan 2022 #16
yeah, and it's blowing up on twitter already Grasswire2 Jan 2022 #20
Yes, because otherwise it seemed like he was spot on. I guess he was really trying to hit the sweet LymphocyteLover Jan 2022 #52
As you cited Pantagruel Jan 2022 #17
He didn't have to lie. BaronChocula Jan 2022 #29
On this site, if I said something threatening or extremely violent, I would expect a fwvinson Jan 2022 #75
I was astonished to hear the "both siderism" re: "political violence on both sides." Grasswire2 Jan 2022 #18
He might as well have gone full out with that comparison BaronChocula Jan 2022 #33
Yes, he went there! Sickening Emile Jan 2022 #19
from Thom Hartmann Grasswire2 Jan 2022 #22
Posting RT's Hartmann to claim political dishonesty?! Hortensis Jan 2022 #35
just get over it. Grasswire2 Jan 2022 #37
But Hartmann isn't. Neither are the Russians, the Republican Hortensis Jan 2022 #41
You are equating Thom with all those other groups???? Ferrets are Cool Jan 2022 #62
I'm grouping him with all those who helped sabotage Democrats Hortensis Jan 2022 #67
And you know what happens now? durablend Jan 2022 #40
:) Right. Just more proof that we can't stop the idiocy of OTHERS, Hortensis Jan 2022 #44
Yeah - I listened and I'm reading the transcript JustAnotherGen Jan 2022 #64

Those number of groups involved in 1/6 had one common denominator... progressoid Jan 2022 #74
Garland - "Hitler and the Allies need to knock it off. This has nothing to do with politics." Oneironaut Jan 2022 #25
you nailed it Grasswire2 Jan 2022 #30
and of course... BaronChocula Jan 2022 #34
"How do we know Antifa wuzn't at teh Capital as well?!!1!" Oneironaut Jan 2022 #43
No he is being consistent IbogaProject Jan 2022 #36
that's not what he said. nt Grasswire2 Jan 2022 #38
He's technically right. One doesn't need to be a Republican to be a White Nationalist. haele Jan 2022 #39
The republican party is the political arm of the white nationalist movement. BaronChocula Jan 2022 #57
Anybody surprised. Texaswitchy Jan 2022 #46
He's blunting the "political persecution" tact they are piling on with. Nt Baked Potato Jan 2022 #49
You think the guy who threatened the judge in NJ was a Trumper? Effete Snob Jan 2022 #50

Interpretation of the spoken word NEVER fails to amaze me. NoMoreRepugs Jan 2022 #66
Amazing interpretations of an easily understood statement. ChazInAz Jan 2022 #70
Emphasis on... FeelingBlue Jan 2022 #68
I hope he didn't get into the ol "there are good people on both sides" bullshit but lets hope he's yaesu Jan 2022 #69
Sean Hannity will love that statement. He's always going on about the Antifa and BLM "rioters" progressoid Jan 2022 #76
