Attorney General Merrick Garland&#8217;s decision to prosecute J6 defendants solely in the nation&#8217;s capital confirms Durham&#8217;s assessment that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/judge-issues-injunction-blocking-several-directives-from-l-a-countys-new-controversial-d-a\/\" title=\"Judge Issues Injunction Blocking Several Directives From L.A. County\u2019s New Controversial D.A.\">criminal cases<\/a> against political pariahs are easier to win in D.C.-area federal courts.<\/p>\n<h3>The Washington Post&#8217;s Response<\/h3>\n<p>The Washington Post&#8217;s headline questioning whether Durham&#8217;s criticism of juries went too far is ironic, given the outlet&#8217;s history of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/marco-rubio-asks-nyt-did-you-collude-with-china-to-protect-xi-jinping-from-genocide-evidence\/\" title=\"Marco Rubio Asks NYT: Did You Collude with China to Protect Xi Jinping from Genocide Evidence?\">publishing fake news<\/a> to propagate the Russia-collusion hoax. Instead of focusing on the substantive content of Durham&#8217;s report, which details malfeasance by the DOJ and FBI and the Clinton campaign&#8217;s responsibility for the scandal, the Post focused on Durham&#8217;s introductory remarks on criminal charging decisions.<\/p>\n<h3>Department of Justice Manual<\/h3>\n<p>The DOJ&#8217;s manual, &#8220;The Principles of Federal Prosecution,&#8221; makes the same point as Durham on biased juries and politics dictating case outcomes. Sometimes, even when the law and facts create a sound, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ny-post-editorial-board-trust-the-justice-department-on-the-hunter-biden-investigation-no-way\/\" title=\"NY Post Editorial Board: Trust the Justice Department on the Hunter Biden Investigation? No Way\">prosecutable case<\/a>, the likelihood of an acquittal due to the unpopularity of some aspect of the prosecution or the overwhelming popularity of the defendant or their cause may be high.<\/p>\n<h3>D.C. Jury Pool Bias<\/h3>\n<p>The DOJ&#8217;s decision to prosecute J6 defendants solely in the nation&#8217;s capital, despite evidence of bias in the D.C. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/supreme-court-will-hear-boston-marathon-bomber-execution-case\/\" title=\"Supreme Court Will Hear Boston Marathon Bomber Execution Case\">jury pool<\/a>, further erodes trust in the legal system. Congress and the courts should respond by granting defendants more peremptory challenges and amending venue rules to give defendants a better opportunity to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/merrick-garlands-j6-juries-prove-durhams-point-conservatives-cant-get-a-fair-trial-in-d-c\/\" title=\"Garland's J6 juries confirm Durham's argument: Conservatives can't receive a fair trial in D.C.\">relocate highly politicized cases<\/a> to less partisan locales.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, it is important to remind Americans that juries may not convict due to strongly held political passions rather than actual innocence, and to push for measures that counter bias to the largest extent possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>capital, Durham is demonstrating his awareness of the challenges posed by such cases in the current political climate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":499,"featured_media":1935596,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[546],"tags":[10171,3680,12512,4539,10924,16913,9595,25011,27340,5563,4853],"class_list":["post-1935595","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-federalist","tag-argument","tag-cant","tag-confirm","tag-conservatives","tag-d-c","tag-durhams","tag-fair","tag-garlands","tag-juries","tag-receive","tag-trial"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1935595","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/499"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1935595"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1935595\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1935596"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1935595"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1935595"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1935595"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
