Senate Democrats, in a letter Friday to Attorney General Merrick Garland, weighed in on a judge’s recent opinion accusing the Trump-era Justice Department of misleading her about the purpose of an internal memo related to the Mueller probe.
Merrick Garland is probably using the DOJ account to purchase disinfectant and deodorizer by the case. I just hope he does develop tennis elbow and carpal tunnel from all the scrubbing he has to do.
Well, okay, I suppose, but, there are exceptions. I mean, if you’re a part of Trump’s circle of Felons, Grifters, and Broken Things, the only thing the truth is gonna free you from is having to decide what to eat, or wear, or do all day.
No idea what constitutes “normal” in DOJ response to an order like this from a judge but the document was ordered to be released by Monday and it’s 4pm on Friday. Seems curious to me that it still hasn’t been released.
It’s not going to be immediate, but the slow rebuilding of the DoJ is underway, and part of that process will bring the abuses of the past four years to light. Garland is not the kind of person to allow bad behavior to persist…we may not hear everything that happens to fix and expose the past, but hopefully we hear enough to give us confidence in the future that the DoJ won’t be sucked into another administrations abuses.
Jackson ordered that the department to release a portion of the memo it had sought to withhold. But she delayed the order until May 17, in case the department wanted to appeal it.
