AG Merrick Garland is More Similar to Bill Barr Than Liberals Want to Admit

Former Attorney General Bill Barr was reviled by liberal news outlets as a slippery boot-licking lackey of former President Donald Trump. Now, however, President Biden’s Attorney General Merrick Garland is affirming many of his predecessor’s positions.

The move isn’t surprising to legal scholars who understand how the justice system works, but it is befuddling for ideological liberals who thought that former AG Bill Barr was former President Donald Trump’s stooge.

Liberals were incensed when former AG Bill Barr supposedly ordered Lafayette Park to be cleared so former President Trump could take a photo in front of St. John Church. Black Lives Matter filed a suit over the order, but AG Garland is defending his predecessor’s position, noting that moving protestors is in order if the security of the President of the United States is at risk, as was the case during last year’s protests.

The protestors had become extremely violent. There were more reported officer injuries during this protest than there were during the Capitol Hill “insurrection” on January 6. The President had to be moved to a bunker for safety reasons, making it clear that removing the protestors by force was the only reasonable decision the Justice Department could make.

The Attorney General is also siding with his predecessor’s stance on a rape case filed against the former President, noting that, as Mr. Barr opined, the DOJ is the rightful defendant in a suit filed as a result of a sitting President’s comments made in an official capacity. Garland has also defended the former President’s decision to oppose Social Security disability benefits for Puerto Ricans, and defended former AG Bill Barr’s controversial decision to not release the full contents of a DOJ memo. According to Garland, there is insufficient evidence to charge the former President with obstruction of justice. The reasoning for the decision remains confidential, a move that even Bloomberg had to concede is in line with standard DOJ procedures.

As head of the Justice Department, the Attorney General is well within his rights to reject former AG Bill Barr’s positions and take a different stance on all the controversial cases outlined above. However, he has decided instead that his predecessor was right on all of the above mentioned legal matters.

There is no way the AG could have ulterior motives for siding with Mr. Barr. After all, it was the former AG’s party that denied him a confirmation hearing for a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court. Rather, the Justice Department’s stance makes it clear that, contrary to liberal accusations, Bill Barr was not a lackey of the former President. Rather, he was a legal expert making decisions based on the law and not personal preference.

  1. These liberals want in Garland exactly what they accuse Barr of. They demonstrate being incapable of seeing through their own error in thinking.

  2. Garland’s stance on the Arizona Audit is enough to cause anyone to never trust anything he says or does.

  3. These China collaborators are a joke to American People but can cause chaos to our country. Wake up America before it’s too late. You will be poor, jobless, lose your retirement and your home. It is not too late. Arizona is the key.
    We need America first, not Biden’s China.

  4. dont believe the demons that are taking over the left, they are hellbent on destroying country,family,god, and law and order. RESIST

  5. excellent thanks bestwishes

    Me: Beautiful.
    ps:
    Although in severe shock and great stress, we have faced the challenges and moved forward crossing the barriers, biases, impediments etc that came before us, … it was tough, not easy, for my wife and sons and the others also … I brought up my two sons Kaviraj and Shilpi as future presidents of usa, with that attitude/ outlook/ mindset, supporting and encouraging the leadership nature already in them. They are born in usa, grew up in usa and consider themselves as Americans. The country, the people and the whole world including India where we parents are originally from will need their leadership and contributions to go forward towards better future vision in true spirit of America. It is the nature of truth, nature of nature, nature of humanity. It is the only way. There is no other choice. Actually, we do not need a different choice. Because, it is also the best way. Perfect for America and the whole world. Nothing else can be better, however you may look at it. Best wishes. Aummmm….we are seeking suitable brides for our two sons… any help, efforts etc much appreciatedThe world is dramastage weare actors Our life is what we do OUR ACT, our daily living is our daily acting role, acting finished means life finished. WE ARE SEEKING SUITABLE BRIDES FOR OUR TWO SONS, OUR GOAL IS TO ENABLE THEM REACH FULL TRUE HIGHER POTENTIAL, FUTURE PRESIDENTS OF USA. I was fired from AT&T Bell Labs in 1992 scientist engineer, it was big shock for whole family, in India too. interviews for new jobs blocked. although in shock wife worked from low level hard work later promoted, children targeted.

    Me: Ravi, my assessment/ guesses below =
    King of the East = Japan,
    King of the North = Norway,
    King of the South = Saudi Arabia,
    King of the West = United Kingdom,
    Others are being used and/ or helping them directly and/ or indirectly, along with their interests and ideologies, China also included. Nature of the Deep state is involved in various strong ways, including the nature of the different religions and their associated deep states, some extremely very strong… for many others, individuals also, it is just survival under whatever conditions exist for them…

     actually, hindus need to reclaim all the temples that were destroyed, forcibly taken over,
     (not just the three that BJP / RSS wanted, mostly for political reasons, vote-banking, otherwise they did not care initially)

     it is not their (muslim’s) private property anyway, so they should not worry / have hatred towards hindus in india
     (any allowance of alternate land, is out of sympathetic considerations only)..
     you are forgetting the power of hindu temples, for inspiration etc, when you write like below, that it is less important.
    i disagree.
     in fact, everything depends on it (the recovery of the temples), we might say

    WE ARE SEEKING SUITABLE BRIDES FOR OUR TWO SONS KAVIRAJ AND SHILPI, FUTURE PRESIDENTS OF USA. THE WORLD IS A DRAMA STAGE AND WE ARE ACTORS.

IT WAS BIG SHOCK TO US, WIFE & CHILDREN, ALSO FAMILY ON BOTH MY SIDE AND WIFE’S SIDE, INCLUDING IN INDIA, SINCE EVERYBODY EXPECTED ME TO GO HIGHER UP IN JOB. I WAS NOT EVEN GETTING INTERVIEWS FOR OTHER JOBS. LATER GOT A FEW SMALLER JOBS. MY WIFE WORKED, FROM LOW LEVEL, HARD WORK, LATER PROMOTED. FORCES BEHIND THE SCENES TRYING TO PULL US DOWN. CONNECTED WITH THE EVIL PARTS OF THE GLOBAL POWER STRUCTURE. OUR SONS WERE ALSO TARGETED AND HAD TO FACE CHALLENGES. WE HAVE FACED THEM POSITIVELY AND MOVED FORWARD.  THEY ARE WORKING NOW. BOY AND GIRL HAVE TO LIKE EACH OTHER ETC THEN WE BLESS. THANKS VERY MUCH FOR YOUR HELP. BEST WISHES AUMMM…
