If you critique Garland on Twitter, you will be harassed by a troll bot farm reciting identical talking points. Their latest talking point is that Merrick Garland heroically investigated the Oklahoma City bombing.
This is a myth. patreon.com/posts/merrick-…
The myth of Garland and Oklahoma City was spurred by mainstream media pieces released in unison upon his nominations in 2016 and 2021, nearly all relying on quotes from his corrupt Big Law mentor, Jamie Gorelick
Who is Jamie Gorelick? She was Garland's DOJ mentor. She has also been:
1) Jared and Ivanka's lawyer
2) Oil spill corporate defender
3) Big Tech defender
4) Profiteer over student loan crimes
5) Alan Dershowitz's protege
And more. THREAD on Gorelick:
The myth of Garland and Oklahoma City is an object lesson in the danger of paywalls. Judging by headlines alone, you'd think he was a hero. Read the articles, you get quotes like this from attorneys who were actually there in 1995: theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
Contrary to the DOJ troll bot farm, which uses Oklahoma City to justify Garland's current inaction, Garland did not capture Timothy McVeigh. He did not have a long, drawn-out, leak-free investigation while McVeigh ran free. The actual timeline of the McVeigh arrest is as follows:
April 19, 1995: Bomb explodes at Murrah building in OKC. 90 minutes later, McVeigh is captured by an Oklahoma State trooper.
April 20: Garland does presser in OKC, flies home
April 21: Federal authorities arrest McVeigh on probable cause. Partner Nichols surrenders.
Two days.
Timothy McVeigh was brazen and proud about his crimes. He confessed and was promptly locked up so that he could not commit more acts of terrorism while awaiting trial.
Garland played no role in capturing him. And is letting today's McVeighs run free. patreon.com/posts/merrick-…
"Notably, in the 1990s, Garland refused to look at the big picture -- which involves McVeigh's white supremacist ties to groups like the militants assembled in Elohim City Oklahoma and the likely ties of his associates to foreign neonazis abroad." -- patreon.com/posts/merrick-…
"What did Garland do regarding OKC bombing? He sealed hundreds of documents, making it difficult for people researching the case to get information. This includes people whose relatives were murdered during the investigation. What was Garland covering up?" patreon.com/posts/merrick-…
In 2010, it was revealed that the CIA was involved in the Oklahoma City investigation. That means there was likely foreign involvement and additional suspects that the DOJ -- including Gorelick and Garland -- covered up. deseret.com/platform/amp/2…
"Garland framed the OKC investigation as a 'lone gunman' scenario with McVeigh and Nichols. He refused to investigate the broader threats of terrorism and militant groups.
And that is exactly how he is handling the coup attempt investigation today." patreon.com/posts/merrick-…
