Atty. Gen. Merrick Garland, 70, embarrassed himself and the White House appointing a Special Counsel to see whether 80-year-old President Joe Biden mishandled classified docs from his time as former President Barack Obama’s Vice President. Recently found classified docs in Biden’s former office at the U of Penn. Biden Center then another batch of classified docs in his Wilmington. De. garage raise questions similar to 76-year-old former President Donald Trump but Garland clearly jumped the gun. No Special Counsel is needed to determine whether Biden mishandled classified docs from his time as Vice President. Garland would be far better off appointing a Special Counsel to investigate corruption at the Department of Justice, FBI, CIA and National Security Agency [NSA], all conspired a covert effort to discredit Trump’s 2016 campaign and presidency.
Facts related to Biden’s classified docs found in at least three locations, including the U of Penn. office, Wilmington home garage and his personal library, don’t need a Special Counsel. Garland needs a Special Counsel to investigate whether the DOJ, FBI, CIA and NSA conspired to investigate Trump to interfere with his 2016 campaign and presidency. Surely, Garland knows the logic behind ordering the FBI to raid Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate but was never able to explain himself. In some ways, ordering a Special Counsel is outrageous, all because he wants to show even-handedness with Trump. But Garland isn’t admitting that the raid on Mar-a-Lago was orchestrated by 54-year-old former Obama holdout Deputy Atty. Gen. Lisa Monaco, someone who authorized the FBI’s 2016 counterintelligence investigation of Trump’s alleged Russian connections.
Garland should resign as Attorney General knowing that there’s no basis for appointing a Special Counsel to investigate Biden’s alleged mishandling of classified docs. Whether Biden held classified docs since 2017 or not, Garland showed bad judgment or let Lisa Monaco call the shots. When it comes to Trump, Garland knows that the DOJ, FBI, CIA and NSA abused its power, weaponized its Article 2 authority to persecute the former president. Classified docs found in Biden’s personal custody pale in comparison to the inappropriate business dealings with his 52-year-old son Hunter and bother Jim for the years while Obama’s Vice President [2009-2017] and the years before he ran for president in 2019. House Republicans, led by 58-year-old Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio, are starting to look into “Biden Inc,” the family business used to rake in millions overseas.
Everyone in Washington knows the egregious partisanship and bias against Trump, both in the media and with elected officials. Whether or not Jordan can ever shed light on the Russian hoax, he can still show a corrupt DOJ, willing to use the nation’s most powerful law enforcement and intel agencies to go after Trump for purely political purposes. Conspiracies inside the upper echelon of the FBI showed that former Agent Peter Strzok and former FBI Atty. Lisa Page actively conspired inside the FBI to sabotage Trump’s 2016 campaign. Comey’s counterintelligence investigation of Trump started when former CIA Director John Brennan turned over former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton’s opposition research AKA the Steele dossier to Comey in the summer of 2016. Whether admitted to or not, Obama and Biden authorized former Atty. Gen. Loretta Lynch to investigate Trump.
Garland, a former Chief Justice of D.C.’s Second Court of Appeals, knew little about leading the Justice Department, relying heavily on Lisa Monaco. Monaco organized the Aug. 8, 2022 raid on Mar-a-Lago, all to discredit Trump, hoping to eventually bring charges against the former president. Monaco appointed former U.S. Atty. Jack Smith as Special Counsel to determine whether to charge Trump with any crimes. Judging by new revelations about Biden’s classified docs, Garland should terminate Smith as Special Counsel. There’s simply no basis to play House Democrats political games especially when it comes to using the DOJ. Certainly nothing presented by the Jan. 6 House Select Committee has any merit for criminal charges. Garland would do the DOJ a favor ending Special Counsel Jack Smith’s assignment. Instead, Garland appoints 49-year-old U.S. Atty. Robert Hurn Biden’s Special Counsel.
Garland, under heavy influence of Lisa Monaco, has only harmed the DOJ;s credibility, now disgracing the department appointing Special Counsel Robert Hur to investigate Biden’s classified docs. Garland should fire Monaco immediately and rescind Special Counsel Jack Smith and Robert Hur’s assignments. No one can possibly think that finding a few classified docs in Biden’s possession amounts to anything more than a hill of beans. When it comes to Trump, Garland should appoint a Special Counsel to investigate years of corruption at the DOJ. No federal agency should be used to persecute political opponents like the DOJ did with Trump. Biden’s classified docs pale in comparison to his family corrupt business dealing with foreign governments. Spending billions on the Ukraine War, it’s no accident that Biden’s son Hunter made millions at a corrupt Ukrainian natural gas company.
