Merrick Garland knew it too. He had a duty to stop this fraud from ever seeing the light of day.
We had procedures in place to prevent the misuse of the Department of Justice. Merrick failed to exercise his oversight duties here. He allowed the Republicans to inject this wad of propaganda into our next election.
§ 600.8 Notification and reports by the Special Counsel.© Closing documentation. At the conclusion of the Special Counsel’s work, he or she shall provide the Attorney General with a confidential report explaining the prosecution or declination decisions reached by the Special Counsel.
“[A] large degree of responsibility” will be removed from the Department of Justice. Special Counsel will have “day-to-day independence.” … Of central importance, “ultimate authority for the matter and how it is handled will continue to rest with the Attorney General.” For that reason, “the regulations explicitly acknowledge the possibility of review of specific decisions reached by the Special Counsel.”
It was clear a year ago that Durham was on a political mission. Garland allowed that corrupt mission to be completed under his watch.
Garland is also continuing the extremist cases that Jeffrey Clark had brought during his corrupt time at DOJ. In one of the worst cases, Garland’s DOJ if fighting the Navajo’s suit to get water. The Navajo are receiving just 7 gallons per resident vs an average over 100 gallons to other communities and our DOJ is working against them.
Garland has betrayed this country with his timidity and failure to fulfill his duties. Garland needs to resign.
