Attorney General Merrick Garland made remarks to DOJ staff Thursday, emphasizing the importance of impartiality and the need to protect the Department of Justice from becoming a political weapon. However, he failed to address the ongoing prosecution he is overseeing against former President Donald Trump.
While discussing the principles of federal prosecution, which prohibit prosecutors from being influenced by political associations or activities, Garland did not mention the two federal cases brought against Trump by the Biden-Harris DOJ.
Garland stated that the DOJ has only one rule, to follow the facts and apply the law in a way that respects the Constitution and protects civil liberties. However, his actions as attorney general suggest otherwise.
