During a recent debate, Trump pointed out that the cases against \u200bhim are fabricated and coordinated by Garland and\u200b the Biden administration, while Vice President Kamala Harris failed to rebut these claims \u200ceffectively. The article argues \u200cthat Harris and Garland are attempting\u2062 to shift\u2063 blame\u2064 onto \u2064Trump for \u2062issues currently\u2064 being managed\u200c by\u200b their administration.<\/p>\n<p>It describes the challenging environment for DOJ employees, who\u200d may feel pressured \u200dto\u200d prioritize political directives over legal protocols\u2014such as conducting pre-dawn raids or ignoring serious offenses linked to immigration and other \u2062crimes. The piece\u2062 also highlights that employees who \u2062raise concerns risk severe repercussions, creating a demoralizing workplace.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/elite-college-students-blame-israel-for-hamas-terror-attack\/\" title=\"Elite college students accuse Israel of being responsible for the recent Hamas terror attack.\">article raises questions<\/a> about who is truly politicizing\u200c the\u200b justice system, accusing \u2064Harris of orchestrating policies that misuse the DOJ for political gains, \u2062such as facilitating the entry of illegal immigrants\u200b for potential\u2062 voting benefits and avoiding\u2063 accountability for violent\u200c crimes.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Merrick Garland recently held a pep rally at the Department of Justice (DOJ) for his employees. Why now? Well, last week, we heard President Donald Trump take aim at the weaponization of DOJ, and we heard Kamala Harris&rsquo; non-response. Trump clearly won that exchange, and the Swamp now has to play clean-up for her mess.<\/p>\n<p>Remember that in the debate, the ABC moderators interrupted Trump&rsquo;s answer about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/analysis-biden-just-scrapped-an-office-that-served-victims-of-illegal-immigrant-crime-heres-whats-coming\/\" title=\"ANALYSIS: Biden Just Scrapped An Office That Served Victims Of Illegal Immigrant Crime. Here\u2019s What\u2019s Coming\">illegal immigrant crime<\/a> to push fake FBI statistics, which Trump swatted aside. In her response, rather than talk about immigration, Harris brought up that Trump has been prosecuted. Trump explained that each of the cases against him was fake, failing, and coordinated by Garland and the Biden-Harris administration. Of course, we know this is true. But the icing on the cake is that Harris&rsquo; final non-answer was that&nbsp;<em>Donald Trump&nbsp;<\/em>would weaponize the DOJ.<\/p>\n<p>They are telling on themselves.<\/p>\n<p>But the Harris campaign strategy and the orders to Garland are clear: Blame Trump for things Kamala Harris and Joe Biden are doing right now.<\/p>\n<p>Frankly, it has to be tough to be an employee of Biden and Harris. You might be asked to violate departmental protocol and do a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-grants-26-pardons-and-3-commutations-includes-numerous-prominent-names\/\" title=\"Trump Grants 26 Pardons And 3 Commutations, Includes Numerous Prominent Names\">pre-dawn raid<\/a> of a former president but turn a blind eye to a legally worse situation involving Joe and classified documents in his garage. You might be asked to surveil your neighbors at church or at school board meetings. You might be asked not to prosecute real crimes involving immigration, opioids, or Black Lives Matter, but asked to prosecute grandma for praying on a sidewalk.<\/p>\n<p>It must be demoralizing to go into work every day like this.<\/p>\n<p>And if you complain? If you follow the rules, but go to the inspector general, or to Congress, or to your boss? Forget that. In violation of law, you might find yourself without a job, suspended without pay, sidelined, or with your security clearance revoked. That happened under Garland and Harris to Marcus Allen, to Stephen Friend, and to so many others.<\/p>\n<p>This is unacceptable.<\/p>\n<p>So while Harris and Garland use their platforms to gaslight America, saying that the Department is &ldquo;proud&rdquo; to remain &ldquo;independent&rdquo; and free from &ldquo;political interference,&rdquo; ask yourself: Who is really politicizing the justice system?<\/p>\n<p>Who is bussing in tens or hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants into our cities, merely for their votes? It&rsquo;s Kamala Harris, not Donald Trump. Harris and the current administration are responsible for the tragedies on the border every day.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Who refuses to say the names of Laken Riley, or Rachel Morin, or Jocelyn Nungaray, because it&rsquo;s not politically expedient? Kamala Harris, not Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Who has fundraised for violent criminals in Minnesota to keep them out of jail? Kamala Harris, not Donald Trump. It&rsquo;s the California soft-on-crime policies that Harris brought to that state that are tearing our cities apart, even, perhaps especially in the deep red rural areas in swing states like Pennsylvania, Nevada, and Wisconsin that she wants to target.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Whose DOJ is sending letters to county clerks across the country, and to secretaries of state, warning them of prosecution if they get too aggressive in protecting our elections? Kamala Harris&rsquo;, not Donald Trump&rsquo;s. Just this past week states acting under federal law to clean up their voter rolls were threatened by Garland. You can&rsquo;t make this up.<\/p>\n<p>Whose DOJ has failed to investigate election issues across the country, from the election technology being wide-open to foreign access and control to ballots being mailed without proof of citizenship? Kamala Harris&rsquo;, not Donald Trump&rsquo;s.<\/p>\n<p>And whose DOJ has made head-fakes at consumer protection, while letting drug prices soar, and who was the tie-breaking vote for the Inflation Reduction Act, which has led to Medicare Part D dropping 21 drugs and raising premiums by the double-digits, with far higher increases to come in 2025? Kamala Harris, not Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>America is at a crossroads, and Merrick Garland is right to be concerned about the politicization of the DOJ and the federal government, but maybe he and Kamala Harris should look in the mirror.<\/p>\n<p><em>This <a href=\"https:\/\/realclearwire.com\/articles\/2024\/09\/12\/merrick_garlands_doj_pep_rally_proves_trump_won_the_debate_1058033.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">article<\/a> was originally published by RealClearFlorida and made available via RealClearWire.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>      Congressman Matt Gaetz represents the 1st Congressional District of Florida.

Why is this happening now? Last week, President Donald Trump criticized the DOJ&#8217;s alleged politicization, while Kamala Harris failed to provide a substantial response. Trump clearly came out on top in that discussion, leaving the administration to manage the fallout from her inadequate reply. During the debate, ABC moderators interrupted Trump as he addressed crime related to illegal immigration to promote misleading FBI statistics, which he dismissed. Instead of discussing immigration issues in her response, Harris mentioned Trump&#8217;s legal troubles. Trump countered by asserting that all charges against him were fabricated and orchestrated by Garland and the Biden-Harris administration\u2014a claim we know holds some truth. Ironically, Harris concluded with an accusation that Trump would misuse the DOJ for political purposes.<\/p>\n<p>This reveals their own shortcomings. The strategy from Harris&#8217;s campaign and directives to Garland is evident: shift blame onto Trump for actions currently being taken by Kamala Harris and Joe Biden.<\/p>\n<p>It must be challenging for employees under Biden and Harris\u2019s leadership; they may be pressured into violating departmental protocols\u2014such as conducting pre-dawn raids on a former president\u2014while ignoring more serious legal issues involving Joe Biden\u2019s classified documents stored in his garage. They might also face requests to monitor neighbors at community events or avoid prosecuting significant crimes related to immigration or drug abuse while targeting individuals like grandmothers praying peacefully on sidewalks.<\/p>\n<p>Going into work under these conditions must be disheartening.<\/p>\n<p>And if employees voice concerns? If they adhere strictly to regulations but report issues through proper channels like inspectors general or Congress? They risk losing their jobs or facing suspensions without pay due to violations of law\u2014something that has happened under Garland and Harris with individuals like Marcus Allen and Stephen Friend among many others.<\/p>\n<p>This situation is unacceptable.<\/p>\n<p>While Harris and Garland use their positions to mislead Americans about the DOJ being &#8220;independent&#8221; from &#8220;political interference,&#8221; one should question who is truly politicizing our justice system.<\/p>\n<p>Who is responsible for transporting large numbers of undocumented immigrants into cities solely for electoral gain? It\u2019s Kamala Harris\u2014not Donald Trump. The current administration bears responsibility for ongoing border crises daily.<\/p>\n<p>Who avoids mentioning victims&#8217; names such as Laken Riley or Rachel Morin because it isn\u2019t politically advantageous? Again, it\u2019s Kamala Harris\u2014not Donald Trump. Who has raised funds for violent offenders in Minnesota so they can evade incarceration? That would be Kamala Harris\u2014not Donald Trump. Her lenient crime policies from California are contributing significantly to urban decay\u2014even affecting rural areas in swing states like Pennsylvania, Nevada, and Wisconsin where she aims her efforts.<\/p>\n<p>Whose DOJ sends warnings via letters across counties regarding potential prosecution if officials aggressively safeguard elections? It belongs to Kamala Harris\u2014not Donald Trump. Just last week states attempting federally mandated voter roll maintenance faced threats from Garland; it&#8217;s almost unbelievable.<\/p>\n<p>Whose DOJ has neglected investigations into election integrity issues nationwide\u2014from unsecured election technology vulnerable to foreign influence down to ballots mailed without citizenship verification? That too falls under Kamala Harris\u2014not Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>And whose DOJ has made superficial gestures toward consumer protection while allowing drug prices skyrocketing\u2014and who cast a tie-breaking vote on an Inflation Reduction Act leading Medicare Part D beneficiaries towards dropping 21 drugs alongside steep premium hikes expected soon after 2025? Once again: it\u2019s Kamala Harris\u2014not Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>America stands at a pivotal moment; Merrick Garland rightly expresses concern over politicization within both the DOJ and federal government\u2014but perhaps he along with Kamala Harris should reflect inwardly instead.<\/p>\n<p>This article was originally published by RealClearFlorida through RealClearWire.<br \/>\nCongressman Matt Gaetz represents Florida&#8217;s 1st Congressional District as part of his fourth term serving in Congress<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3435,"featured_media":2342703,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Copy-of-Untitled-2024-09-17T143221.552.png","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[546],"tags":[7076,32465,3634],"class_list":["post-2342702","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-federalist","tag-doj","tag-merrick-garland","tag-trump"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Copy-of-Untitled-2024-09-17T143221.552.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2342702","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\/3435"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2342702"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2342702\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2342703"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2342702"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2342702"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2342702"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
