United States Attorney General Merrick Garland on Tuesday pushed back against baseless claims made by former President Donald Trump and his attorneys that President Joe Biden has been secretly orchestrating the litany of probes into Trump.
During an interview with C-SPAN, a reporter noted that "a number of President Trump's allies have suggested without any evidence that you are conducting these investigations at the behest of the Biden White House. I just want to give you an opportunity to address that."
Garland stated that "I think that the president made clear when he appointed me that he would not interfere with in any way any criminal investigations and he has stood by that. And there has been no White House participation whatsoever."
The latest incident occurred on Tuesday morning when Trump's lawyer Alina Habba told Newsmax that the Federal Bureau of Investigation "planted" the evidence that it seized at Trump's Palm Beach, Florida Mar-a-Lago estate during its search warrant execution on August 8th.

Of course she told Newsmax. When they told the special master that documents were planted they were told to put up or shut up.

(6,856 posts)False accusations against law enforcement cannot be made by a lawyer in or out of court. Especially if that lawyer is on the team of the person under investigation.

(24,557 posts)They assume Biden would run the Executive Branch like Donald Trump. Persecute his oppostion by using the DOJ as his personal justice system.

But, conservatives, if you told and believed the truth, youd no longer be a conservative.

SO FUCKING WHAT if Biden actually did sic the DOJ on him?
Using their own line of BS against them.
Private citizens get investigated, and he certainly has those credentials?
