Herr Merrick Garland on Wednesday defended the Justice Department’s might prosecute people who never set foot in the Capitol.
“The actions we have taken thus far will not be our last. The Justice Department remains committed to holding all January six perpetrators at any level, accountable under the law, whether they were present that day, or were otherwise criminally responsible for the assault on our democracy. We will follow the facts wherever they lead,” Garland said on the eve of the attack’s one-year anniversary.
Facts?
Democrat lawmakers are pushing this political lynching.
In recent weeks, the House Jan. 6 Select Committee have even signaled that it is considering criminal referrals to the Justice Department if it finds evidence that former President Trump or members of his inner circle violated the law in connection with the riot.
They don’t even have to violate the law. He’ll prosecute them no matter what.
In the nearly 30 minute speech, Garland defended the department’s strategy of prosecuting more direct cases of those present in the building.
“We build investigations by laying a foundation. We resolve more straightforward cases first because they provide the evidentiary foundation for more complex cases. Investigating the more overt crimes generates linkages to less overt ones. Overt actors and the evidence they provide can lead us to others who may also have been involved and that evidence can serve as a foundation for further investigative leads and techniques,” he said.

First, let’s investigate the P. O. S. Garland. Wheer has he been for the past year. Let’s investigate how he has been covering this all up. Let’s investigate all of his communications in the matter. Let’s investigate his finances for payoffs.
Jan 6th will be Patriot’s Day. Fitting that the evil has thrown down gloves on this day. Joe, his Hoe and his evil AG and friends will be gone very soon. This is not a threat, they did it to themselves. I guess that makes me an enemy of my country that I love.
I just listened to senile, little girl fondling, Joe Biden’s speech. I have never heard such a load of lies and claptrap in my entire life. And the ignorant, incompetent Commie-la toes up Harris compares Jan 6th to be worse then when we were attacked at Pearl Harbor, and by rabid Muslims on 9/11. More than 2,400 Americans died at… Read more »
You can tell by looking at Garland and hearing him speak that he was the little tattle tale weenie that told on everyone in school so the teachers would give him an A. I bet his imaginary friends would not even play with him.
He will investigate all conservatives and Trump supporters but not the real criminals like the moron capitol cop who shot and murdered in cold blood a completely innocent female veteran who served this country. Just watching the pos Garland speak and you know he is a total pile of dog crap sniveling weenie.
Garland would have made the perfect German Nazi.
