Merrick Garland, Chief Judge of the United States Court of Appeals District of Columbia was appointed to the Circuit seven years ago. The nomination of Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court was slow-walked by President Obama and ended with Donald Trump’s election. Garland’s dream of being appointed to the Supreme Court was shattered when Republicans took control. He remained on his bench for another five years and then accepted the nomination as Attorney General.

Merrick Garland’s decisions as attorney general have been influenced by his unsuccessful nomination to the Supreme Court. Garland has said repeatedly that his office and he are guided by the rule of law and fairness. He said:

The Justice Department, and our democracy as a whole, are founded on the principle that the rule of Law must be upheld. To uphold the rule of Law, the law must be applied equally and without favor or fear. The Justice Department does exactly that under my watch. All Americans have the right to an evenhanded application, due process, and the presumption that they are innocent.

Merrick Garland’s claim to faithfully adhere to the rule of law has been proven hollow. His political principles guide him. He bends the law to the advantage of his party.

Garland’s testimony to Congress has been a sham for several months. At worst, Garland has lied under oath. Garland said that he was not involved in the US Marshals’ refusal to arrest protestors outside the Supreme Court Justice’s homes. This was not true. Documents revealed that Marshals were told to leave protestors alone unless they physically attacked Justices.

Several whistleblowers came forward to accuse the Garland DOJ, and Garland personally, of not applying the laws equally and acting politically. All whistleblowers have been told that they are lying.

Weiss claiming to have been denied special counsel status is a key part of the whistleblower’s testimony. This was not true. Garland, in an apparent effort to play hide the ball and defuse the situation, appointed Weiss’s special counsel. This served two purposes – it allowed Democrats to say that there was now a special prosecutor, and in theory, it would shield Weiss against Congressional investigation. Weiss, if called to testify could claim he couldn’t answer any questions regarding an ongoing investigation. This was a clever way for Garland to avoid having him appear before Congress.

The Federalist has received documents from the Heritage Foundation that clearly show the coordination between Weiss’ office and the DOJ. What is the significance of this? The Federalist reports on:

Mike Howell of the Heritage Foundation Oversight Project filed a FOIA suit after the Biden Administration tried to delay the production. Howell, a director of the Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project, filed suit against the DOJ after the Biden administration tried to slow-walk the production.

Significantly, the emails also call into question the veracity of a series of exchanges between Weiss and Jordan, beginning with Weiss’s June 7 response to the May 25, 2023, letter Jordan sent to Garland. In that May 25 letter, Jordan questioned Garland on the removal of the IRS whistleblowers from the Hunter Biden investigation.

Weiss and Garland did not know what the whistleblowers were going to say until the 7th of June letter. Weiss, writing in response to the DOJ, said that “he has been granted ultimate authority on this matter. This includes responsibility for deciding when and where to file charges, as well as making decisions necessary to maintain the integrity of prosecution …”

This contradicted under-oath statements made by whistleblowers. Weiss, (likely coordinated with DOJ), then issued a “clarification.”

Weiss wrote the following to Congress on June 30, 2023:

I was assured here that, if needed, after the above-mentioned process, I could receive SS 515 authority in the District of Columbia or the Central District of California (or any other district in which charges might be brought).

This is legalese for being caught in the crotch. Weiss informed IRS staff that his authority was denied. He told Congress on June 30th that he would be “granted” – and not “had” authority.

Weiss was soon appointed as “Special Counsel.”

The Federalist reports that it is clear that the FOIA documents provided to The Heritage Foundation are just the tip of the iceberg. The DOJ still has not produced emails or documents related to Jim Jordan’s correspondence of May 25, 2023. The next batch of documents is due by October 31st.

We’ve already seen a lot of “smoking gun” evidence, but perhaps the next film will provide more proof of political collusion between Weiss and the DOJ that even Democrats would find hard to explain.
