Partisan and Politics
A partisan is someone who supports one part or party. Sometimes the support takes the form of military action, as when guerrilla fighters take on government forces. But partisan is actually most often used as an adjective, usually referring to support of a political party. so if you're accused of being too partisan, or of practicing partisan politics, it means you're mainly interested in boosting your own party and attacking the other one.

DOJ is going to have to "attack" the GQP, investigate it, which is the Webster definition of being partisan, is it not? Oh my gawd, I am not asking DOJ to go on witch hunts, I used examples. I guarantee you that the members of the Republican party will call Merrick Garland partisan were he to investigate Salesforce.

Do you think that DOJ should investigate Salesforce, because if you do the GQP is going to say that is a partisan witch hunt, guaranteed.
