Merrick Garland: ‘Dangerous’ and ‘Outrageous’ to Criticize the DOJ

In a speech to U.S. attorneys, Attorney General Merrick Garland said it’s “dangerous” and “outrageous” for people criticizing the DOJ.

This isn’t the first time Garland lashed out at those who have the nerve to criticize the DOJ.

He said:

Over the past three and a half years there has been an escalation of attacks on the justice department’s career lawyers, agents, and other personnel that go far beyond scrutiny, criticism, and legitimate and necessary oversight of our work. these attacks have come in the form of conspiracy theories, dangerous falsehoods, efforts to bully and intimidate career public servants by repeatedly and publicly singaling them out and threats of actual violence. Through your work you have made clear that the justice department will not be intimidated by these attacks. But it is dangerous and outrageous that you have to endure them. It is dangerous to target and intimidate individual employees of this department solely for doing their jobs and it is outrageous that you have to face these unfounded attacks because you are doing what is right and upholding the rule of law. You deserve better. You deserve gratitude.

Garland also claimed the DOJ doesn’t treat people differently. He won’t let anyone use the DOJ as a political weapon.

Oh, his whole speech is just rich.

Oh, you want to go there, Garland? If you don’t want us to criticize the DOJ or think something deeper is going on, then you shouldn’t do anything that shows us you’re willing to violate the Constitution, target those who disagree with you, or treat us as legitimate threats to the country.
