Conspiracy theories, falsehoods and threats of violence against DOJ personnel are not normal.
Last week, a California man wasan FBI field office where hundreds of agents and other employees work. In one of his threats to the FBI, the man wrote: “I can go on a mass murder spree. In fact, it would be very explainable by your actions.”
In recent weeks, we have seen an escalation of attacks that go far beyond public scrutiny, criticism, and legitimate and necessary oversight of our work. They are baseless, personal and dangerous., most recently the special counsel’s prosecution of the former president.They come in the form of conspiracy theories crafted and spread for the purpose of undermining public trust in the judicial process itself.
They come in the form of false claims that the department is politicizing its work to somehow influence the outcome of an election. Such claims are often made by those who are themselves attempting to politicize the department’s work to influence the outcome of an election.And media reports indicate there is an ongoing effort to ramp up these attacks against the Justice Department, its work and its employees.We will not be intimidated by these attacks.
We do this not only because of the principles that have long guided our work, but also because we know that our democracy cannot survive without a justice system that ensures the equal protection of law for all its citizens.
