President Joe Biden and other Democratic leaders believe they made a mistake in choosing Merrick Garland for attorney general.
The reason is that Garland did not take sufficient legal action against then-President Donald Trump to prevent him from being re-elected.
The Washington Post's revelations suggest that the White House engineered a bill to override Trump's second presidential election, but it failed because Garland did not do enough. There is.
In a related development, three far-left federal judges ruled against Trump in a lower court, based on columnist E. Jean Carroll's dubious claims that Trump assaulted her in a department store fitting room. dismissed his appeal against a ridiculous $5 million judgment against him.
Department of Justice too slow
The paper's article notes that even though President Trump's threat to democracy has been the dominant editorial for Biden and the Democratic Party for the fourth year in a row, the headline states that Biden is “a lone figure selling a vision of American democracy.” It begins with the strange idea that they were at war.
And “in the final chapter of his presidency, Biden pondered whether he should have handled some decisions differently.”
One of those decisions was choosing Mr. Garland, who clearly did not use the Justice Department as a private star chamber so vigorously as to destroy Trump. Mr. Garland's startling admission that he made the rant comes as Mr. Biden and Democrats hope the new attorney general will do what conservatives have accused him of doing, even if more slowly than Democrats had hoped. It shows that it was.
Biden and his party allies hoped Garland would destroy Trump. And they also expected to protect the laptop boy hunter from hell. Recall that Biden, Democrats, and 51 former intelligence officers falsely said the laptop was “Russian disinformation.”
Mr. Biden has also said privately that he should have chosen someone other than Merrick Garland as attorney general, citing the delay in the Justice Department's prosecution of Mr. Trump under Mr. Garland, and Mr. Biden's son Hunter. “He complained that he was aggressive in prosecuting the United States,” the Post reported, according to people familiar with his comments.
During the 2020 presidential transition, Biden's choice of attorney general put some of his aides at odds with each other. Biden's longtime friends, former Sens. Ted Kaufman (D-Delaware) and Mark Gitenstein, advocated for the president to nominate then-Sen. Doug Jones (D-Ala.) was sworn in as attorney general, arguing that as a politician he would be able to navigate the bitter partisan situation.
In other words, Kaufman and Gitenstein were hoping that a viciously partisan Democrat would become attorney general so they could go after Trump without regard for the law and judicial ethics. .
Why did Biden choose Garland?
That raises the question of why Biden chose Garland. Answer: Because Chief of Staff Ron Klain believed that selecting Mr. Garland would be good for the Department of Justice. As the paper said, his “strong reputation for independence and impartiality… shows Americans that Biden is rebuilding an agency that has been shaken by President Trump's political attacks.” Deaf,” he said.
Biden was persuaded, and some Democrats believe the decision had disastrous consequences. If the Justice Department had moved sooner to prosecute Trump for allegedly trying to overturn the 2020 election and manipulating classified documents, former President Trump would have faced a politically damaging trial before the election. They say it could have been. (Some have accused the Supreme Court and Trump-appointed Florida judges of repeatedly siding with the former president and delaying the case, but the Justice Department declined to comment.)
These facts are consistent with the Georgia “election interference” case, a White House operation in which unethical prosecutor Fani Willis was fired last week. One source told Breitbart that Biden's puppeteers were “pulling all the strings” in the case.
Carroll Case: Legal Issues in Federal Court
The Post analysis of the final days of Mr. Biden's disastrous presidency fell two days ago, before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit rejected Mr. Trump's appeal of a federal district court's verdict in the Carroll case.
Carroll sued Trump for sexual assault and defamation. Carroll claimed that Trump sexually assaulted her in a fitting room at New York's luxury Bergdorf Goodman department store. She sued for defamation after President Trump called her claims a “hoax.”
The jury awarded Carroll $5 million. In the second defamation case, a jury awarded her $83.3 million.
In today's ruling, three far-left judges appointed by Biden and President Barack Hussein Obama – two women and a Chinese immigrant from Hong Kong – ruled that a lower federal court had improperly allowed a jury to hear evidence. He rejected Trump's claim that he had authorized it.
Trump argued that jurors should not have been allowed to hear the infamous Access Hollywood recording in which he claimed he grabbed women's genitals without warning. He also argued that the two women who Carroll said told him about the assault should not have been witnesses. A lower court judge also admitted testimony from two other women who said they were assaulted by Trump.
But the far-left judges wrote:
We conclude that Mr. Trump has not established that the district court erred in any of its contested decisions. Moreover, he does not bear the burden of showing that the alleged error, or combination of alleged errors, affected his substantive rights as required to justify a new trial. yeah.
Oddly, Carroll's story sounds a lot like an episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, in which Carroll told the New York Times and CNN's Anderson Cooper that Trump raped her. He said he had not. She told the Times that her encounter with President Trump was a “battle.” She told Mr. Cooper that some people think rape is “sexy.”
U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan did not allow President Trump to introduce the Cooper interview as evidence.
Carroll, who claims Trump assaulted her in 1996, said she was a “massive” Apprentice fan, referring to Trump's reality show, which aired on NBC from 2004 to 2017. He confessed that in 2012.
Trump's press secretary, Stephen Chan, said the president received an “overwhelming mandate” from American voters on Nov. 5. those voters
We are calling for an immediate end to the political weaponization of our justice system and the immediate dismissal of all Democrat-funded witch hunts, including the Carol Hoax, and will continue to be appealed.
Reid Hoffman, a Trump-hating Democrat and founder of the little-used social media website LinkedIn, funded Carroll's lawsuit against Trump.
