Internal emails were uncovered recently that cast a new, negative light on Attorney General Merrick Garland’s record in targeting parents over school board controversies. The communications show that various Justice officials raised alarms over the effort pushed by Democratic allies and the National Association for School Boards. Career officials condemned the Biden Administration proposal by objecting that “If they do this, they might as well rename the damn thing the Anti-MAGA Task Force.”
As parents organized against COVID and woke policies being implemented by school boards, Democratic allies and the National Association for School Boards called upon the Biden Administration to crack down. Garland agreed and implemented a plan detailed in an October 2021 memo to treat these parents as engaged in potential “domestic terrorism.”
There was public outrage, but Garland defended the action, declaring “The obligation of the Justice Department is to protect the American people against violence and threats of violence and that particularly includes public officials.”
As the outcry grew, the Biden Administration was forced into a retreat and an apology:
“On behalf of NSBA, we regret and apologize for the letter. There was no justification for some of the language included in the letter. We should have had a better process in place to allow for consultation on a communication of this significance. We apologize also for the strain and stress this situation has caused you and your organizations.”
We now know that rank-and-file officials opposed the effort, but decided to go forward anyway. The Justice Department in October 2021 issued a memo to coordinate a response to what it described as an “increase in harassment, intimidation and threats of violence against school board members, teachers and workers in our nation’s public schools” by parents.
Newly released emails raised all the objections later made by critics after the policy’s release. One deputy assistant attorney general wrote that:
“I don’t think it’s possible to state how strongly I object to this. It will completely and totally nuke our election threats efforts, and will damage the reputation of the Public Integrity Section into the bargain. It’s like they’ve affirmatively trying to make this thing not work and look political.”
When officials said that the Biden Administration was about to create an “Anti-MAGA Task Force,” officials responded, “Exactly! Stupid, stupid, stupid.”
Another principal deputy assistant attorney general wrote,
“We will not do this. There is no conceivable connection to [public integrity] (indeed, I’m not seeing a federal interest of any kind.). And if they’re going to make the AG’s memo to the field about this and election threats, I’m going to strongly recommend that they not send it.”
The Public Integrity section chief agreed, saying the memo could turn the Justice Department and the FBI into the “threat police” and that it contained “no limiting principle at all.”
The question is how such an ill-considered, excessive memo could be issued in light of such internal opposition. The answer focuses new attention on the record of Garland, who seemed at times to be a virtual pedestrian in decisions at his own department.
In 2022, I wrote a column titled “The Incredible Shrinking Merrick Garland” to express my disappointment in his developing record as someone who supported his nomination. Citing the school memo and other decisions, I wrote that Garland appeared increasingly “immaterial” to the running of the department:
“Garland sometimes looks more like a pedestrian than a driver on decisions in his own department. Top positions were given to figures denounced as far-left advocates on issues from defunding the police to racial justice. For the moderate Garland, these did not seem like natural choices.”
As Special Counsel Jack Smith took a hatchet to preexisting DOJ policies and the First Amendment in his crusade against Donald Trump, Garland seemed little more than a figurehead in refusing to exercise any moderating or supervisory influence. Likewise, as his department pursued a “shock and awe campaign” against citizens who joined the January 6th protests, Garland remained passive.
By 2023, I was writing columns that Garland had become an “utter failure” as Attorney General. He had become the kind face of a department weaponizing charges and targeting opponents. While the same charges have been leveled at the current Administration, that does not alter the troubling legacy of Merrick Garland.
The school board memo reflects how political rather than legal or institutional priorities prevailed under Garland. The merits of these controversies can be left to history. However, what is most striking is the absence of any discernible control or direction from Garland. Unlike his predecessor, Bill Barr, who was famously “hands-on” in his leadership style, Garland delegated authority to powerful subordinates, who carried out these measures with little apparent restraint.
As discussed in my 2022 column, Garland seemed to morph with the character Scott Stuart in the cult classic, “The Incredible Shrinking Man,” in which Stuart delivers a strikingly profound line: “The unbelievably small and the unbelievably vast eventually meet — like the closing of a gigantic circle.”
That may be the final epitaph of Merrick Garland’s record as United States Attorney General.
Jonathan Turley is a law professor and the New York Times best-selling author of “Rage and the Republic: The Unfinished Story of the American Revolution.”
” While the same charges have been leveled at the current Administration”
Saying that without context is a disservice to the article. The Garland DOJ corruptly targeted folks that were innocent, whereas the current DOJ is targeting actual corruption and actual law-breaking. The former is evil, the latter is necessary if we are to remain a functioning Republic.
Democrats declared civil war in 2016. They haven’t stopped.
The Left’s main weapon is fear. And uncertainty.
The Left’s two main weapons are fear and uncertainty. And doubt.
The Left’s three main weapons are fear, uncertainty, and doubt.
Keep your opponent afraid, unsure of the truth, and doubting their own senses and thoughts.
FUD comes in many forms. There are pseudoscientific attacks – climate change will kill us all in only 15 years! There is the gender grift, domestic terrorism designation for concerned parents, virus lockdowns with nonsensical mitigations and toxic shots. Mass illegal invasion is social justice. Incarceration violent criminals is racist. Destruction of our childrens’ educations only makes future attacks easier.
1) See these people for what they are: a danger to your family and your nation
2) Treat everything they say as manipulative lies
3) ignore their accusations, edicts, and laws
4) teach and protect your children
Oh boy, Turley is at it again. Tsk, Tsk, Tsk. Professor.
“As parents organized against COVID and woke policies being implemented by school boards, Democratic allies and the National Association for School Boards called upon the Biden Administration to crack down. Garland agreed and implemented a plan detailed in an October 2021 memo to treat these parents as engaged in potential “domestic terrorism.”
That’s quite the exaggeration. The memo never mentions “domestic terrorism” or “parents”. In his memo the only thing he talks about is addressing the violent threats and aggressive conduct towards school board members and staff. If you doubt that is not true here’s the memo,
https://www.justice.gov/d9/pages/attachments/2021/10/04/partnership_among_federal_state_local_tribal_and_territorial_law_enforcement_to_address_threats_against_school_administrators_board_members_teachers_and_staff_0_0.pdf
The whole reason for the memo was because school boards were facing increasing violence at board meetings and actual threats which are not protected by the 1st amendment. Furthermore, the idea about treating some of these school board meetings comes from the fact that the Proud Boys were deliberately agitating parents at these meetings.
The threats and harassment of school staff and board members got so bad that the school board association asked Garland to look into these incidents. There were legitimate concerns brought up and Turley chose to ignore them to chastise Garland over hyperbolic rhetoric twisted into a narrative against Garland and the DOJ.
That is right X! You tell them! We all saw the videos of those Proud Guys at meeting, harassing and threatening those school board associations! We all saw how those school board associations were just trying to protect the children with masks, forced social distancing, vaccines all for the children! We all know those were not really parents but MAGA agitators and domestic terrorists! Garland and the Biden WH were not trying to force anykind of child affirming care, or acceptance of transgender children, the use of bathrooms and lockerrooms by transgender children! We all know that incident of a transgender child raping a girl was all made up MAGA propagand! That father who got arrested, he was nothing but a MAGA agitator! He did not even have a daughter!
Were it not for that transgender child there would have been no rapes anywhere in the world!
But that’s not true. The vast majority of rapes are committed by heterosexual men and it was heterosexual men who moved the student who committed that assault to another school without taking any precautions.
Violence??? You are such a retard. The only violence I saw was that (must have been a proud boy) dad being body slammed and cuffed.
OK, yes, I remember the Memo. It was restricted to acts of violence and threateners of violence against educators and school board members.
But, those would normally be handled by local law enforcement. Why would the Feds get involved, unless there were interstate groups engaged in conspiracies? That element wasn’t mentioned in the Memo.
This was already brought (federal involvement), in great detail, by another person –prior to you. we could save a lot of space and reading if we posted NEW takes on an issue, instead of repeating others.
The DOJ has been weaponized at least since the 1950’s during J. Edgar Hoover’s disloyalty to his oath of office. Hoover made a promise to GOD to protect constitutional rights. Hoover betrayed that oath of office.
Covert Blacklisting (Cointelpro tactics) essentially does their illegal conduct by bypassing judges and bypassing voters. Without a transparent view of DOJ’s disloyal practices, voters can’t self-govern and judges can’t provide judicial review.
Since 2002, the DOJ drives and funds federal “Preemption & Prevention Grants” to state operated “Fusion Centers”. Fusion Centers are one of the primary weapons in violating our 4th Amendment rights. The DOJ funds these illegal blacklisting centers.
Voters can’t solve these problems without transparency from DOJ. Both parties are responsible for DOJ’s sordid history violating constitutional rights. Expose this inconvenient truth and reform this agency.
Prof. Turley, Thank you for this Excellent & Timely Review! I’ve always considered your 2022 column ‘The Incredible Shrinking Merrick Garland’ one of your ‘Top 10…’ character analyses.. to-day adds more dimension to that.. And in a few more words on Jack Smith, we are reminded he shone as the Black Spade of Weaponization Jacks in the DOJ. In fairness to Trump, going after these characters is the right strategy to neutralize the deep state game they started (with Hillary, Obama, Brennan, Blinken, et al…radiating out to James, Bragg et al…) aiming to sabotage Trump’s earned power via some of the most preposterous schemes, rather than leave himself open to their full-blown continuance if they were to return to that same power to manipulate the legal system…
Garland labeled as “domestic terrorism” opinions he disagreed with: pro-life views, concerned moms at school board meetings challenging policies that placed males into females’ bathrooms, and a preference for the traditional Latin mass among Catholics.
That is straight-up fascist behavior. At that point, Garland was running a fascist agency, and he was the HFIC (head fascist in charge). That combined with the “ministry of truth” and Scary Poppins. Leftists often refer to small-government conservatives as “fascist,” which is perverse. When they do so, they are merely projecting.
Clearly every man entering a woman’s bathroom is going to be forced by basic instinct to rape every woman he can get a hold of in that bathroom; at least as experienced by the conservative mind.
It overlooks that rapists aren’t going to draw attention to themselves by wearing feminine clothing, having hormone treatments to suppress testosterone and with it male aggression, and have hormone supplements to drive breast size increase, and, ultimately to have their genitals altered to remove the external male genitalia substituted with a simulated vagina.
The traditional rapist is a straight guy who goes to Church on Sunday to be washed of his sins and feel forgiven by the Church for having committed rape. Often enough their victim is their own pubescent daughter or niece or granddaughter or child friends of their children. Another avenue is rape by Church leaders of children in their congregations who have fraudulently earned the trust of parents and children and often protected by the Church to avoid public exposure of the rot in the institution.
Look, we had the DoJ weaponized by Obama and Biden and their appointees. That’s why we’ve had nearly a decade of ‘Trump-Russia’ though much of it has passed. That’s why we have ‘studies’ that show ‘right-wing violence’ is at all-time high yet left-wing violence, like the ‘BLM summer of love’ is both gaslighted and memory-holed. That’s why we got this memo. That’s why they tried to slow-walk Hunter Biden (which they were partially successful) so avoid a scandal for Joe Biden during 2020. That’s why, despite it being turned in, the FBI raided the journalist who’d gotten it from a person who found it left in coffee shop. All so they could try and find any copies of the diary.
It goes beyond that. The radical left is out of control and left ignores it or excuses it. Because of that we have had at least two assassination attempts against Trump and one successful against Charlie Kirk whom was, like his politics or not, was a decent, kind man who merely argued his points.
We have had at least 5 trans-shooters whom have been hidden from the majority of the public by the liberal news media. They even pretend they’re men when they’re mentally-ill women. For example, 28-year-old Aiden Hale killed three nine‑year‑old children and three adults before members of the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department (MNPD) shot and killed her. But they reported her as a man and hid her liberal manifesto.
And so it goes.
What’s ironic is that these Marxist operatives claim that the right tramples on the Constitution. They ALWAYS claim the right does what they are doing. It’s stupid, stupid, stupid.
Most murders are committed by men. 95% by straight 100% heterosexual men. A the majority of the remaining amount is by women.
Was the Texas Tower shooter trans? Was the shooter into the Las Vegas Country music festival trans?

In April 2025, the MNPD closed their investigation, concluding in a 48-page report that Hale was motivated by a desire for notoriety. Hale left behind 16 notebooks containing over 1,000 pages of writings expressing a desire to serve as an inspiration for books, documentaries, a museum containing the firearms used in the shooting, as well as further school shootings by others.[13] Hale watched a documentary about school shooters in 2017, and by 2018 had become obsessed with the issue, investigators claimed. Initially inspired by the Columbine massacre, Hale began to rank school shootings, believing that achieving a high kill count and media notoriety would make one a “god”.[13]
In diary entries obtained by Megyn Kelly, Hale wrote about wanting to “kill my own race” and “kill all the white children”, as well as hatred for the American people. Hale also expressed frustration dealing with autism, OCD, and a late gender transition.[13][65] The MNPD concluded that the shooting was not motivated by race (though he “frequently raged over these topics”), nor was it motivated by a grudge against the students or staff at The Covenant School.[13] The report stated that Hale targeted the school because he believed that “the Christian faith of those within would make them meek and afraid, which further assuaged Hale’s self-doubts. The age of the children and the school being considered a Christian school made [him] recognize the instant notoriety the attack would bring.”

Not much of a liberal manifesto there. Liberals work for universal healthcare, for example, not hatred for the American people.
Here’s the clue – Trucks covered in Trump stickers haven’t been fire-bombed en mass.
As to Charlie, he was a millionaire paid by billionaires to convince the middle and lower class to be minions to the oligarchs.
To overly vociferous Mitch McConnell critics, I have always had the same 3 word reply: Justice Merrick Garland.
Haha, true. Mitch did us a solid. And then there was a week in the summer of 2018 when my two favorite senators were Susan Collins and Lindsey Graham, for their efforts on the Kavanaugh confirmation. So . . . while all three senators have their faults, they all have a place of honor in Scotus history.
I agree. I loath McConnell, and always have – but as Senate Minority leader he was incredibly effective – and most of the time that was good for the country
Agreed, he always played the long game. He was corrupt but he did carry the ball.
The U.S. Department of Justice was formed following the Civil War in 1870. Primary DOJ’s mission was to protect constitutional rights of African-Americans and all Americans.
DOJ’s top priority was enforcing the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments that granted equal rights to all citizens. The target of DOJ were domestic terrorist groups like the Klu Klux Klan.
Formed in 1870, the DOJ was at one time the strongest protector of constitutional rights until J. Edgar Hoover’s “Cointelpro” era.
J. Edgar Hoover transformed DOJ into the greatest protector of constitutional rights into the greatest violator of Americans’ constitutional rights with his blacklisting programs and selective enforcement.
21st Century Attorney General John Ashcroft created “Cointelpro-On-Steroids” after 9/11, a far worse and far more lethal model of J. Edgar Hoover.
For the past 25 years, the U.S. Department of Justice’s covert blacklisting program has arguably violated more constitutional rights of more innocent Americans than any domestic terrorist group could ever dream of.
Today’s DOJ has mission-creeped into the greatest violator of constitutional rights and needs reforms now. Every employee of the DOJ takes an oath of office to protect constitutional rights as a condition of authority and employment.
The office of US Attorney General was established in 1789 – it is one of the oldest cabinet positions in the US government,
Do you have any support for your claim that DOJ was responsible for enforcement of the reconstruction amendments post civil war ?
The Federal government has No general police power – The FBI was not created until 1908 – assessing Hoover is complex – he is concurrently a hero and a villian.
But then most of our great leaders have feet of clay.
One of the major problem with The Garland Memo above is that even violent conflicts between parents and school administrations are just NOT the business of the federal government.
Which is precisely Why Garland attempted to label it “domestic terrorism” – DOJ and FBI have a limited “public integrity” role – investigating misconduct of federal and state public officials, But NOT ordinary citizens pissed off at their local government.
The left pi$$es over Trump – but none of the conduct that the left alleges regarding Trump is outside the scope of Federal executive powers.
This is and was.
There are major issues regarding Smith – he was unconstitutionally appointed (as was Mueller) and Garland should have known better – that was just a stupid move on his part. Investigating Trump was atleast a legitimate Role of DOJ – Investigating the parents of students unhappy with their local school board is not even inside the power of the federal govenrment – much less DOJ.
The problem with Jack Smith investigation – aside from his unconstitutional appointment was that reasonable suspicion necessary for the investigation never existed.
As most of us knew at the time – and we now KNOW that FBI and some in DOJ knew and raised the alarm – the search of MAL was thoroughly unconstitutional.
We dodged a bullet when McConnell blocked Garlands confirmation as a supreme court justice.
Garland is not even close to the worst AG we have ever had – but he clearly is clueless about the constitution.
“One of the major problem with The Garland Memo above is that even violent conflicts between parents and school administrations are just NOT the business of the federal government.”
Why not? Violence against school board members is a crime. When groups like the Proud boys are all over the country attending these school board meetings and agitating parents or bringing weapons it becomes a DOJ problem.
That is right X! You tell him! We all saw the videos of all those Proud guys standing around in that tactel gear and those scary black rifles threatening and harassing those school boards! And all those people not in the tactel gear, they were not real parents! They were MAGA agitators!
Why dont you just keep making sh!t up, X? Its such a good look.
The action came after the National School Boards Association sent a letter to the Biden administration requesting federal assistance and suggesting that some actions directed at school officials could be investigated under domestic terrorism laws. The organization later apologized for the language used in the letter, but Garland stood by his memorandum.
Mitch McConnell prevented a Justice Garland…, so instead, we got a Justice Jackson. The question remains: which was the preferable outcome?
Garland, omg
We would have had Garland AND Jackson ….. OMG What an effing nightmare.
so instead, we got a Justice Jackson.
What? No, instead we got a Justice Gorsuch.
Jackson is preferable. She was obviously a DEI pick and made no pretensions of moderation. Her tenure will forever be characterized by her inability to define a woman.
Not for me. The person stupidly asking the question is the one bearing a mark.
Every biological answer to that question leaves a portion of the population as neither male nor female. Can bear children? Anyone past menopause is no longer a woman. Could bear children? Anyone with a fertility problem was never a woman and no pre-pubescent woman is a woman. Has breasts? Breast development in men is sufficiently common that male breast reduction surgery is also common. Has breasts? Not a woman after a double mastectomy. Has XX chromosomes? Close, but what of XXY chromosomes or the women who have X1X, X2X chromosomes where some areas have a different DNA sequence? This is the tip of the subject and why the person asking it was stupid to do so.
It’s the other judges, dissembling on Roe v. Wade when it is clear that they intended to overturn it, but said it was established law to get the nomination that bear the characterization of liars. They knew what they were being asked and knew that a true answer would reduce their chances, so they lied to gain the power to do what they have done. Republicans accepted those obvious lies and put them on the bench.
This was NOT a trade. The Trade was Gorsuch for Garland. That was a HUGE swing.
Electing Trump rather than Clinton gave us Gorsuch, Barrett and Kavanaugh.
Jackson was a poor choice by Biden, but absent electing Biden – there would have been some poor choice democrat.
This man almost made it to the Supreme Court. There’s a misconception that lawyers are able to do any job given to them. Not so. As a professional group, they make very poor managers, which is why most law firms have “managing partners.” Another misconception is that they can easily slide from private to public sectors and perform just as well. Not so. The job of the AG is special and rises above that of a judge. The AG, as prosecutor, has more power than a judge who can only hear and decide cases. I don’t think we need to prosecute Garland, assuming any of his acts were criminal, but I do think he needs to be brought before Congress and asked about all this.
He has been brought before congress – and likely will be again – he also lied to congress.
But no I do not think he should be prosecuted – based on the evidence we have so far.
He was incompetent, clueless about the constitution. But unlike Comey as AG he appears to have been in over his head and trying to do what the WH wanted.
Comey was playing games and abusing the power he had for personal benefit.
“Comey was playing games and abusing the power he had for personal benefit.”
What benefit was that, exactly?
I recall reading once that Comey was on the Board of Trustees for a foreign Bank. What benefits? He was the head of the FBI, guaranteed $500K/yr paycheck with all the federal benefits and a cadillac health care plan and pension. Nepotism runs deep in the federal bureaucracy with Comey too.
They’ve shown us the lengths they are willing to go. Next time there will be no stopping them.
Garland, being an intelligent man, realized the futility of any action and withdrew as if some evil spirit ever looming and present was there during the Biden administration. Garland isn’t a man to swim upstream.
How did Florida avoid all this mayhem?
Ron DeSantis
Further evidence that the Biden administration, from the President on down, was not running the country. Shame on them all for letting themselves to be used that way and shame on those who conspired to make it happen.
Pretty much everyone likes to say that they would never espouse political violence. It’s a great virtue signal. It sounds good. It feels good. And yet, when political players are messing with your childrens’ heads and bodies, is it really the right path? Just because someone plays the political game well, wins, and can say it is all legal, should you back down, abandon your children, and let the evil bαsταrds have their way?
You’ve come a long way baby: from watering the tree of liberty to prostrating yourself in front of criminals. And the price is already being paid by your children
The declaration of independence is our founders defining the circumstances under which violent against govenrment is justified.
I’ve watched some very long trains from a mountainside in the Mojave Desert. The train rumbling through our country in recent years is pretty darned long and even has some of the old cars from the Declaration in tow.
Thank God this radical Leftist Garland didn’t make it to the Supreme Court, our nation dodged a bullet! Not a big Mitch McConnell fan but we owe him a debt of gratitude when it comes to thanking him for a Supreme Court that adheres to the original intent of the Constitution!
Really? KBJ? We walked into a bullet is a better characterization?
How bout Garland AND KBJ which would be the scenario today but for Mitch.
Blanche is way way better 🤣
Have you heard this one?
So a Jew and a black went in to a Bar. One sat on the Bench while the other got beat by a Board and left.
Again, KBJ did not take Garland’s slot on Scotus. Gorsuch did.
KBJ took Breyer’s slot, which didn’t open up until 2022, when Biden was president.
The original intent of the Constitution was to ensure that chattel slavery was the law of the land. It stole the rights of the enslaved and gave them to the slave owners, capped at a mere 60% so the northerners felt good about themselves.
Where’d you learn that garbage, some Marxist CRT class?
I feel like we should be shocked by this revelation but sadly we are not. The corruption was just that common in the Biden admin.
I agree with the good professor’s view of Garland, a pedestrian on the side of the road while others take the wheel of the DOJ bus driving by.
Pedestrian meaning “common” perhaps somewhat vulgar?
“a pedestrian on the side of the road while others take the wheel of the DOJ bus driving by.”
Meaning a person walking on the side of the road, while the DOJ bus drives by. Learn to read.
Upstate, I always thought of Merrick Garland as the little mouse who couldn’t squeak 🐁
Mostly I agree – but he was a judge of sufficient stature to be considered for the supreme court – and he was NOT a brain dead DEI appointment like KBJ.
Nor was he previously considered to be a radical left wing judge.
Further he did more than sit on the sidelines – these memos are demonstrating that – What the WhiteHouse asked for – constitutional or not – and even over the objections of “carreer DOJ lawyers – who are near universally on the left. When democrat lawyers in DOIJ are objecting to what the democrat AG and Democrat president are doing – it is REALLY BAD.
Regardless, While Garland was clearly NOT a leader of weaponized political nonsense – as Comey was, Garland absolutely was not watching from the sidelines – he was enabling this and he either knew or should have known better.
Garland was NOT the worst AG we have had. He was not the most egregiously political.
While I supported McConnell blocking his appointment to the supreme court – I also felt sorry for him at the time – he LOOKED AT THE TIME like a fairly moderate appointment for an Obama Appointment. I also was happy when Biden appointed him as AG – I mistakenly though he would be a check against the unconstitutional actions I expected out of a Biden DOJ. But the opposite proved true.
I expect history will remember him badly – and that is appropriate.
History will barely remember Biden as a brief shining spot between Trump and Trump.
Trump will be where Covid started and Biden where Covid ended. Trump where the screw worm returned to America, where measles became noticed again. Trump, where he started a war to give $400 Billion to the Iranians.
Speaking of Screw worms, I believe you have one in your head. Blow flies have always been here, ask any cattlemen running free range beef. Get some help.
TRUMP has delivered and it isn’t anywhere nearly finished.
That’s correct, Eric “Wing Boy” Holder was one of the worst. Selling guns to the Cartels to be used in the death of a federal agent. All done so they could lay foundation for a Second Amendment attack on legal gun owners. Holder and Obama, two floaters in the porcelain punch bowl.
Going on two years and no investigations completed, no charges laid. No sign of anything illegal.
Is the Trump administration just this incompetent? Being led like a bull to slaughter by Israel says “Yes.” It’s more probable that there isn’t any corruption to find.
Outstanding column Judge Turley…another nail in the Biden coffin headed to HELL
I took notice when Johnathon wrote he had hopes when Garland started his tenure as AG. That tenure clearly went south. Is the why of it TBD? There was once a White House- AG relationship between Nixon and AG John N. Mitchell. We know it as Watergate. Mitchell went to prison for it. No, I’m not saying Garland committed a crime. I’m saying the Biden White House oozed a 25th Amendment problem. For example, we don’t know what woke staff minds were running the autopen with Biden out of the loop. What else were they running? How much of that flows into the plot that explains Garland? Is that a work in progress for Todd Blanche and Kash Patel?
Autopen? Quiji board..
Trump is an autopen for the Heritage Foundation. They wrote up the Trump policies long before Trump was in office again. This is why at every signing, Trump asks and aid to explain what is on the bill, because Trump is not familiar with it and did not write it nor take part in the creation of it.
Early on Biden gave his Independence Hall speech, exquisitely lit dark with Red over tones. His speech told that half the nation, those who voted for Trump, were awful and bad, period, Garland’s actions seem completely in line with his talk, I believe all were on board just like Obama and his AG Wingman Eric Holder and Fast and Furious and their interference in Operation Cassandra.
