Atty. Gen. Merrick Garland, 69, announced today that he’s considering changing Trump Justice Department polices regarding subpoenaing phone records of members of Congress. Garland implied in asking for the review that there was inappropriate surveillance going on by 74-year-old former Atty. Gen. Jeff Sessions and former Atty. Gen. William Barr, daring to seeking information about possible media leaks from member so f Congress to the New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, MSNBC and other media outlets determined to bring down the Trump White House. Garland instructed Dep. Atty. Gen. Lisa Monaco “to evaluate and strengthen the department’s existing policies and procedures for obtaining records of the Legislative branch.” Can you imagine the cosmic hypocrisy of Garland’s order, ignoring completely Obama Justice Department’s abuse of its surveillance authority?
Garlnad, a partisan Democrat, can’t fathom the illegal investigations of 75-year-old former President Donald Trump. Former President Barack Obama’s 62-year-old Atty. Gen. Loretta Lynch authorized 60-year-old former FBI James Comey to start a countrerintelligence investigation into 2016 GOP nominee Donald Trump, all to sabotage his campaign against former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. Garland has no interest on asking Monaco to review DOJ policies for investigating presidential candidates or duly elected presidents. Garland apparently only wants to exonerate Rep. Erick Swalwell (D-Calif.) and Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), both of whom the Trump DOJ tried to subpoena phone records to prove they were leaking continuously to the New York Times and Washington Post. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) called Trump’s DOJ “rogue.”
No where in the history of the United States was the DOJ more rogues that under Loretta Lynch, using the national security apparatus to investigate former Trump administration officials all on bogus charges from Hillary ‘s fake “Steele Dossier.” Hillary’s fake dossier was giving to 65-year-old former CIA Director John Brennan who shared the fake dossier with Comey. Comey exploited the Foreign Intelligence Surgeillance Act [FISA] Court to obtain warrants to wiretap Trump campaign officials. Lynch authorized 56-year-old former National Security Director Susan Rice to review wiretaps, including those of 62-year-old former National Security Adviser Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn and 50-year-old former foreign policy aid Carter Page. Garland has no problem with DOJ policy to authorize FBI, CIA or National Security Agence [NSA] investigations of White House personnel.
Garland wants DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz to investigate the appropriateness of seeking subpoenas of phone records for Reps. Swalwell and Schiff, both of whom routinely received leaked of classified information. But Garland’s failure to review past DOJ policies about launching illegal investigations into Trump and his 2016 campaign shows the astonishing partisanship with Garland’s DOJ. Horowitz agreed to review attempts by the Trump DOJ to obtain communication records of House and Senate members who participated in the four-year witch hunt against Trump. For Trump’s four years in office, he was subjected to an illegal DOJ, FBI, CIA and NSA investigations all based on Hillary’s fake dossier, claiming, among other things, that Trump was a Kremlin asset that threatened U.S. national security. Former Obama officials got away with murder against Trump.
How ironic that Garland’s first official DOJ act is to investigate the Trump’s DOJ for daring to seek communication records of known leakers like Swalwell and Schiff, both of whom worked feverishly to eject Trump from office. White House Communication Diirector Kate Bedingfield called Trump’s DOJ actions against members of Congress “appalling.” Bedingfield has nothing to say about Obama’s DOJ that illegally investigated Trump 2016 campaign and presidency for his full four years in office. Jumping on the bandwagon, the most guilty party in the four-year witch hunt against Trump the New York Times reported that Trump’s DOJ tried to get Swalwell and Schiff’s phne records from Apple Inc. No one received more classified leaks from the DOJ, FBI, CIA and NSA than the New York Times, all designed to eventually impeach Trump from office.
Garland’s now exploiting the DOJ to cover-up the egregious malfeasance under the Obama administration at the DOJ, FBI, CIA and NSA all designed to prevent Trump from becoming president but, one president, to harass him for his four years in office. Garland sees no reason to ask IG Horowitz to investigate past Obama DOJ “policies and procedure” to investigate the White House or political campaigns. Any chance that the venerable former Appellate Court Judge Garland was nonpartisan has been extinguished right from Day One. Garland said he has a solemn obligation to keep politics out of the DOJ. What could be more political than wasting DOJ time on what the Trump DOJ did with past subpoenas? Garland presides over a DOJ that committed egregious breaches of DOJ policy under the Obama White House to sabotage Trump’s 2016 campaign to help Hillary get elected.
