Mitch McConnell and Chuck Grassley blocked Merrick Garland from becoming a Supreme Court justice.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Now-Attorney General Garland has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2022\/11\/18\/garland-to-appoint-special-counsel-for-trump-criminal-probes-00069451\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">made it clear<\/a> he is a partisan operative and has no interest in justice. He would have been a disaster on the Supreme Court. But instead of a permanent appointment to the court, Garland is inflicting lasting damage to the Justice Department.<\/p>\n<p>Conservative lawmakers have been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cornyn.senate.gov\/node\/6846\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">demanding<\/a> Garland appoint a special counsel in the Hunter Biden probe for months now, but he has ignored their pleas. Instead, Garland appointed Jack Smith as a special counsel to investigate his boss\u2019s top political opponent: Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Garland has Smith looking into the non-crimes of objecting to the results of a presidential election and keeping personal copies of presidential records. Both are expressly permitted by federal statutes and have been done by Democrats in years past. If Trump is in hot water for objecting to one election, then Democrats would have him beaten fourfold \u2014 see years 1969, 2001, 2005, and 2017, all years Democrats objected to the results of a presidential election. If Trump is in trouble for taking personal copies of his presidential records, then Bill Clinton would have gone to jail for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/news\/2022\/aug\/22\/tapes-stored-bill-clintons-sock-drawer-could-affec\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">stuffing in his sock drawer<\/a> eight years of highly classified recordings of his presidency.<\/p>\n<p>The situation is not only chilling but dangerous when the Justice Department opens a broad criminal probe into a leading presidential candidate for objecting to an election. It\u2019s a clear First Amendment violation to punish those who dare question election results, and this fishing expedition is oppositional to our constitutional values of liberty and justice. They are looking for any past infraction instead of seeking justice by solving an actual crime. The emphasis, in this case, is the person, Trump, instead of any alleged crime. It is only a crime to object to presidential elections in Third World hellholes.<\/p>\n<p>There are very real and violent crimes on which Garland and the Department of Justice should focus their attention.
