Merrick Garland: No, the DOJ Is Not Coordinating the Lawfare Against Trump, Despite Our #3 Official Joining Alvin Bragg's Office to Prosecute Trump.
And No, I Won't Provide You With Our Correspondence With Latitia James, Fani Willis, or Alvin Bragg.

Or Jack Smith, of course.

Garland was questioned about alleged DOJ interactions with state and local prosecutors, specifically Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg and others involved in prosecuting Trump. "Mr. Attorney General, you've told us that it's a dangerous conspiracy theory to allege that the Department of Justice is communicating with these state and local prosecutions against Trump," Gaetz told Garland.

Gaetz pressed for the release of documents that would potentially reveal communications between the DOJ and Trump's prosecutors, telling Garland, "You can clear it all up for us right now. Will the Department of Justice provide to the committee all documents, all correspondence between the department and Alvin Bragg's office, Fani Willis' office and Letitia James' office?" Garland resisted, stating such requests would be processed in due course through official channels.

Republicans argued that this refusal to immediately provide transparency supported the notion of a coordinated attack on Trump. They cited various connections, such as former DOJ official Matthew Colangelo's transition to Bragg's team, as further evidence of partisan influence over what should be independent prosecutorial decisions.

Garland defended the integrity of his department, asserting that the DOJ operates free from political interference. However, this did little to assuage GOP concerns, who pointed to other perceived conflicts, such as small donations made by Manhattan Judge Juan Merchan to Biden's campaign, as undermining the credibility of the judicial proceedings against Trump.

BREAKING: Coordinated Lawfare Against President Trump EXPOSED!

AG Merrick Garland says it's a "dangerous conspiracy theory" to allege that the Department of Justice is communicating with state and local prosecutions against Trump.

But former senior DOJ official Matthew Colangelo was appointed Senior Counsel to District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office to "get Trump" -- as detailed in Mark Pomerantz's book!

Weird how these preening govf*gs are always claiming it's a "dangerous conspiracy theory" that "threatens the lives of law enforcement" when conservatives complain of genuine election interference by leftwing Deep Staters.

They're like twitter addicts -- "Oh no, there go Muh Mentions!"

Meanwhile, these same people promote every single "bad cop shoots an innocent black man" hoax.

Are they saying that that propaganda isn't dangerous? That telling black criminals over and over that they'd better shoot cops before they shoot them isn't resulting in cops being murdered on the streets?

Or are they just saying We don't care about cops getting killed, they don't vote for us?

Spoiler: It's the latter.
