"You may be wondering, 'What the hell is wrong with Merrick Garland? Why is he enabling all these elite criminals? Who is he trying to protect?'"
Here is the Merrick Garland Villain Origin Story:
patreon.com/posts/running-…
"Garland was mentored by operative Jamie Gorelick. Gorelick is Garland’s Roy Cohn. She's an exemplar of Big Law corruption: where state crime, organized crime, and corporate crime meet under the protection of a shady network of lawyers and lobbyists." patreon.com/posts/running-…
"Gorelick is a very close friend of Garland’s since college who is in large part responsible for his career. She hired Garland when she was the Deputy Attorney General of the Clinton admin. Merrick Garland was her right-hand man." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/running-…
"Who is Merrick Garland's mentor Jamie Gorelick? She is the Forrest Gump of corruption, at the edges and sometimes the center of the worst political crises of the past 30 years – again, very much like Roy Cohn in his time. A summary:"
patreon.com/posts/running-…
"In the lead-up to 9/11, Gorelick wrote a memo creating a wall between the FBI and the CIA, making it difficult for law enforcement and intelligence to share information about terrorists. Gorelick refused to testify to the 9/11 commission about this." patreon.com/posts/running-…
"After writing the memo, Gorelick left the Clinton admin. In 1997 she became Vice Chairman of Fannie Mae and served there until 2003. During that time, Fannie Mae developed a $10 billion accounting scandal. This scandal earned Gorelick $26.5 million." patreon.com/posts/running-…
"After leaving Fannie Mae, Gorelick repped British Petroleum in 2010 after major oil disasters, using her connections to the Obama admin to help get them off the hook and avoid cleaning up the Gulf of Mexico." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/running-…
"After repping BP, Gorelick decided to represent the cities of Chicago and Baltimore against probes into the racist police murders of Laquan McDonald and Freddie Gray, respectively." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/running-…
"Everyone is entitled to legal representation but there's a type of lawyer who seeks out the most reprehensible clients. Gorelick is like Alan Dershowitz in this way.
That's because Alan Dershowitz is Gorelick's mentor. Dershowitz -> Gorelick -> Garland." patreon.com/posts/running-…
"In 2017, Merrick Garland's mentor Jamie Gorelick became the lawyer for Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump.
Because of Gorelick, Jared and Ivanka skirted anti-nepotism laws and got their White House positions." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/running-…
"Gorelick also helped structure Kushner's financial arrangements, promising divestments that did not happen. She should be subpoenaed for assisting a criminal operation in government, but she won't be, because her friend and protege is Merrick Garland." patreon.com/posts/running-…
The full story of Merrick Garland and Jamie Gorelick is so horrifying that we couldn't fit it all in our free weekly episode and had to continue it in a bonus Patreon special: patreon.com/posts/bonus-ot…
Update: Jamie Gorelick -- lawyer for Jared and Ivanka, mentor to Merrick Garland, and state corruption exemplar -- is now guiding the official narrative of the January 6 committee. This is both dangerous and a massive conflict of interest: washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/…
