Merrick Garland Ignores Calls For Hunter Biden Probe To Instead Interfere With Trump’s 2024 Chances

America dodged a bullet when Sens. Mitch McConnell and Chuck Grassley blocked Merrick Garland from becoming a Supreme Court justice. 

Now-Attorney General Garland has made it clear he is a partisan operative and has no interest in justice. He would have been a disaster on the Supreme Court. But instead of a permanent appointment to the court, Garland is inflicting lasting damage to the Justice Department.

Conservative lawmakers have been demanding Garland appoint a special counsel in the Hunter Biden probe for months now, but he has ignored their pleas. Instead, Garland appointed Jack Smith as a special counsel to investigate his boss’s top political opponent: Donald Trump.

Garland has Smith looking into the non-crimes of objecting to the results of a presidential election and keeping personal copies of presidential records. Both are expressly permitted by federal statutes and have been done by Democrats in years past. If Trump is in hot water for objecting to one election, then Democrats would have him beaten fourfold — see years 1969, 2001, 2005, and 2017, all years Democrats objected to the results of a presidential election. If Trump is in trouble for taking personal copies of his presidential records, then Bill Clinton would have gone to jail for stuffing in his sock drawer eight years of highly classified recordings of his presidency.

The situation is not only chilling but dangerous when the Justice Department opens a broad criminal probe into a leading presidential candidate for objecting to an election. It’s a clear First Amendment violation to punish those who dare question election results, and this fishing expedition is oppositional to our constitutional values of liberty and justice. They are looking for any past infraction instead of seeking justice by solving an actual crime. The emphasis, in this case, is the person, Trump, instead of any alleged crime. It is only a crime to object to presidential elections in Third World hellholes.

There are very real and violent crimes on which Garland and the Department of Justice should focus their attention. Our cities are experiencing violence and turmoil as stores are looted and carjackings run rampant — all thanks mostly to the leadership of Garland’s allies within the Democrat Party.

Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee recently released a shocking report detailing the mishandling of the FBI under the leadership of Chris Wray and Garland. It notes that “in addition to anti-life extremists targeting Supreme Court justices, anti-life fanatics have targeted, destroyed, or vandalized nearly 70 pro-life facilities, groups, and churches to further their political cause.”

“Despite this harassment and violence aimed at the Court and pro-life facilities, the Biden Administration has declined to enforce the law to protect Supreme Court justices and their families,” House Republicans wrote.

Furthermore, under Garland and Wray, the FBI and DOJ aren’t just refusing to prosecute people who carry out attacks on pro-life institutions; they are actively using the federal government to persecute pro-life individuals.

Garland’s choice of Smith as special counsel is also a troubling one.
