Attorney General Merrick Garland this week called for “attacks” against the Justice Department to stop, in a rare op-ed a day before the House voted to hold him in contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with a congressional subpoena.on Tuesday, that in recent weeks, there have been an “escalation of attacks that go far beyond public scrutiny, criticism, and legitimate and necessary oversight of our work,” and claimed that the attacks are “baseless, personal and dangerous.
They come in the form of conspiracy theories crafted and spread for the purpose of undermining public trust in the judicial process itself. Those include false claims that a case brought by a local district attorney and resolved by a jury verdict in a state trial was somehow controlled by the Justice Department.
Nowhere in his op-ed did he address a recent DOJ special counsel decision not to prosecute President Joe Biden for retention of classified material after leaving as vice president in part due to him being a “sympathetic, well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory,” while at the same time another DOJ special counsel has charged Trump with 40 counts pertaining to his retention of classified materials after leaving office.
The op-ed also did not mention that DOJ official Bruce Ohr was involved in circulating the baseless claims against Trump and his campaign throughout the department on behalf of his wife, Nellie Ohr, who worked for the opposition research firm that compiled the bogus allegations of collusion against Trump.
