Attorney General Merrick Garland's actions have raised serious concerns about his commitment to the rule of law and his independence from the Biden administration.
Garland's recent decision to withhold the audiotape of President Joe Biden's interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur has been widely criticized as a frivolous and politically motivated move. The Justice Department's claim that the audiotape is privileged, while the transcript is not, has been ridiculed by legal experts and even CNN hosts.
Moreover, Garland's inconsistent approach to investigations involving the Bidens and former President Donald Trump has further eroded public trust in his leadership. While Special Counsel Jack Smith has been allowed to maintain positions that seem at odds with past Justice Department policies, Garland has failed to take decisive action to ensure consistency and protect the values of his department.
The Justice Department's slow-walking and scuttling of perjury referrals against Hunter Biden and his uncle, James Biden, has also raised serious questions about Garland's commitment to upholding the law. Despite overwhelming evidence of their guilt, the Justice Department appears to be dragging its feet in pursuing these cases, in stark contrast to its eagerness to prosecute Trump officials for perjury and contempt.
These actions have led many to question Garland's pledge to remain apolitical and transcend politics. As Jonathan Turley, a professor of public interest law at George Washington University, wrote in The Hill, "Garland now appears entirely adrift in his own department. While mouthing platitudes about being beyond politics, he continues to run interference for the Biden White House."
In conclusion, Attorney General Merrick Garland's recent actions have raised serious concerns about his commitment to the rule of law and his independence from the Biden administration. His frivolous privilege claims and inconsistent approach to investigations have eroded public trust in his leadership and raised questions about his ability to uphold the values of the Justice Department.
