Marjorie Taylor Greene Seeks to Impeach Attorney General Merrick Garland<\/h2>\n<h3>Another Step Toward Cleaning House at the DOJ<\/h3>\n<p>On Wednesday, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) announced her move to impeach Attorney General Merrick Garland, accusing him of weaponizing the Department of Justice and persecuting the left&#8217;s political enemies. This comes after Greene introduced similar articles of impeachment against FBI Director Christopher Wray and U.S. attorney Matthew Graves.<\/p>\n<p>Despite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/democrats-prep-for-the-possibility-of-divided-government-in-2023\/\" title=\"Democrats Prep for the Possibility of Divided Government in 2023\">facing long odds<\/a>, Greene&#8217;s bid to unseat Garland highlights her commitment to holding those in power accountable. In her latest articles of impeachment, she accuses Garland of using the FBI as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/nolte-im-thankful-thanksgiving-offends-all-the-worst-people\/\" title=\"Nolte: I'm Thankful Thanksgiving Offends All the Worst People\">federal police force<\/a> to punish or intimidate anyone who questions or opposes the current regime.<\/p>\n<h3>Specific Grievances Against the Attorney General<\/h3>\n<p>Greene listed several specific grievances against Garland, including the alleged persecution of former President Donald Trump, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/mtg-escalates-clash-with-doj-moves-to-impeach-garland\/\" title=\"MTG intensifies clash with DOJ, seeks to impeach Garland.\">targeting parents concerned<\/a> about their children&#8217;s education, and going after Americans participating in political protest. She also faulted Garland for raiding the home of a President.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Merrick Garland has weaponized the DOJ against Joe Biden&#8217;s political enemies. He must be impeached,&#8221; Greene tweeted.<\/p>\n<h3>Long Odds, but a Commitment to Accountability<\/h3>\n<p>While Greene&#8217;s efforts may <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/abortion-clinics-push-supreme-court-to-fast-track-challenge-to-texas-law\/\" title=\"Abortion Clinics Push Supreme Court To Fast-Track Challenge to Texas Law\">face long odds<\/a>, her commitment to accountability and justice for all is commendable. The DOJ released a statement defending Wray and Graves as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/lawmakers-demand-state-dept-revoke-security-clearance-for-appointee-tied-to-iranian-regime\/\" title=\"Lawmakers Demand State Dept.
