Some fear the Department of Justice (DOJ) is not going to prosecute Trumpomobsters, in particular January 6th seditionists. Some think Attorney General Merrick Garland is protecting Trump and his criminal gang
That is madness
Let's do this once & for all
The Garland Thread 2/
The US Department of Justice has 113,000 employees of which more than 10,000 are attorneys. It is BY FAR the largest law firm on the planet. Five times larger than largest private law firm of America
They are all PROSECUTORS
They ENFORCE THE THE LAW
The Garland Thread 3/
These are not DEFENSE attorneys who try to get criminals off on technicalities
These are not CONTRACT lawyers who try to find wiggle room in a contract to screw a partner
These are career professionals who want to ENFORCE THE LAW
To prosecute CRIMINALS
The Garland Thread 4/
Some people on TV chat shows, and some here on Twitter, are suggesting that because Trumpomobsters are
Republican
or rich
or white
or men
or powerful
that they can escape justice. I hear you. You have SEEN injustice on TV, often racially biased
But note..
The Garland Thread 5/
Do you remember this dude? A chap named Trump. Was a Republican President just a coupla years ago
He selected as his Attorney General an ultra-conservative, senior Republican Senator by the name of Jeff Sessions. He ran the DOJ from Feb 2017 to Nov 2018
The Garland Thread 6/
When the DOJ was run by an ULTRA CONSERVATIVE Republican AG, Sessions
It prosecuted the personal attorney to the sitting Republican President.
Trump's attorney Michael Cohen was convicted to prison. It does not get more powerful than that
The Garland Thread 7/
When the DOJ was run by an ULTRA CONSERVATIVE Republican AG, Sessions
It prosecuted the National Security Advisor to the USA, a friend to the sitting Republican President
Trump's NatSec Advisor, the Russian General Mike Flynn was convicted. It doesn't get
The Garland Thread 8/
The Trump pardon has NOTHING to do with Department of Justice prosecution of Trumpomobsters!
Just because a crooked President Trump pardoned the Russian General Mike Flynn, does not in any way diminish that DOJ did its job. They got a conviction on Flynn!
The Garland Thread 9/
When the DOJ was run by an ULTRA CONSERVATIVE Republican AG, Sessions
It prosecuted the Sitting President's Campaign Chairman, a filthy rich long term Republican power broker
Paulie 'Ostrich Coat' Manafort, it does not get more powerful than that
The Garland Thread 10/
This EXACT SAME Department Of Justice, just 3 years ago, when TRUMP WAS PRESIDENT, was prosecuting REPUBLICAN TRUMP FRIENDS, some of most powerful, white, rich, men to prison sentences.
There is NOTHING WRONG WITH DOJ
This same DOJ is now run by Garland
The Garland Thread 11/
You say, but Bill Barr. Yes. Fred Flintstone's evil Nazi cousin, Bill Barrstone was a crooked criminal Attorney General
We all know this
TWO of Nixons Attorneys General were convicted with Watergate. STFU. Crooked attorneys go to prison
So will Barr
The Garland Thread 12/
What happened when America's most crooked Attorney General ever, Bill Barr tried to corrupt the DOJ? Let's examine
When the DOJ was run by a crooked Republican AG, Barr
It investigated the personal attorney to the sitting Republican President. Giuliani
The Garland Thread 13/
DOJ found Giuliani so corrupt, they asked for an FBI raid of Rudy's office in 2020. Was a corrupt Bill Barr able to prevent that?
Of course not
Barr was ONLY ABLE to postpone the inevitable. DOJ are PROSECUTORS. Giuliani is a CRIMINAL. Was raided in 2021
The Garland Thread 14/
When the DOJ was run by a crooked Republican AG, Barr
It investigated the PERSONAL FRIEND to the sitting President, long time Republican and GENUINE BILLIONAIRE, Tom Barrack
Only his ARREST was delayed by Barr. Barrack was arrested in 2021
The Garland Thread 15/
When the DOJ was run by a crooked Republican AG, Barr
It launched an investigation into a SITTING REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN, Matt Gaetz, a personal friend to the SITTING Republican President, and regular visitor to Trump's PRIVATE RESIDENCE
It doesn't get..
The Garland Thread 16/
During Bill Barr, the Department Of Justice
started an investigation into personal attorney to sitting President
started investigation into filthy-rich Repblican friend to sitting President
And started an investigation into a sitting Congressman...
The Garland Thread 17/
If you think THIS Department of Justice is corrupt, is shielding Trump, is somehow not going to prosecute the criminals
YOU ARE SOFT IN YOUR HEAD
Stop it. Just stop it. These 6 were WHITE, MEN, Republicans, rich, powerful, and all FRIENDS TO TRUMP
The Garland Thread 18/
As to Merrick Garland
Garland was the CHOICE for SCOTUS Justice by ... President Barack Obama
[does crossy thing]
I do not need anything else. He was Obama's
[does crossy thing]
pick. This is enough for me
BUT for those of you who are nonbelievers..
The Garland Thread 19/
Bill Barr had BLOCKED the raid of Giuliani by FBI
In April 2021, Garland authorized the raid of Giuliani by FBI
There is all the proof you need. DOJ is healthy. FBI is healthy. Garland is on the side of justice
Oh? you want more?
The Garland Thread 20/
Bill Barr had BLOCKED the arrest of Tom Barrack
In July 2021, Garland authorized arrest of Barrack
That is all the proof you need. DOJ is healthy. Attorney General Merrick Garland is not shielding Trumpomobosters or rich Republicans or powerful white men
The Garland Thread 21/
Garland's DOJ has so far charged 768 people for January 6th
& they have ONLY STARTED
The DOJ charged 11 Oath Keepers already with SEDITIOUS CONSPIRACY
This is ONLY THE BEGINNING
DOJ has ONGOING criminial investigation into Bannon incl THREE PROSECUTORS
The Garland Thread 22/
The Dept of Justice are the BEST prosecutors on the planet. They HATE criminals. Even when a CROOKED Bill Barr ran DOJ, they continued to investigate criminals incl Trumpomobsters
Attorney General Garland is a GOOD MAN
Leave him alone. Let him do his job

On Monday Judge Chutkan in DC (Jack Smith 2) case will hold a hearing about putting a gag order on Herr Hezbollah, the nation's Terrorist-In-Chief. Trump was under protective order. He breached it many times. So this is now his 'final warning'
Let's do a Thread
GAG ORDER THREAD/2
Don't look at me like that! This is JUSTICE. It is EXACTLY the same legal standard that would apply to you and me. Nothing more, nothing less. Trump is a FIRST TIME OFFENDER; has NEVER been convicted of any crime (yet). He was put on a 'protective order' FIRST
GAG ORDER THREAD/3
Then Trump repeatedly broke that protective order. We WITNESSED IT LIVE on TV and on social media, REPEATEDLY
But the Judge CANNOT do anything about it. Until she is FORMALLY told by the prosecution. She CANNOT do anything yet. It would be same for you and me
We certainly feel it was taking too long. In reality this is about par for the course, in some ways FASTER than normal, for such a large criminal conspiracy. Timing is similar to Watergate
FIRST of PLANNERS of Jan 6 go to trial, in Georgia in two weeks !!!
So January 6th, 2021 was two years and 9 months ago. Over 1,000 of the violent mob have been caught, over half prosecuted, and prison sentences for those running up to more than a decade in prison. That is justice
The ORGANIZERS of the Jan 6th plot are Trump, the Seditious Six..
The ORGANIZERS of Jan 6 are
Trump
Seditious Six (Giuliani, Flynn etc)
Evil Eleven of Congress (Gosar, Gym, Gaetz etc)
and a handful others (Roger Stone, Bannon etc)
They are ALL CAUGHT
Jack Smith STARTED to prosecute the organizers. Look who he has as WITNESSES to this crime
Trump calls Hezbollah "very smart" for their terrorist attack? Same Senile Man called Putin smart for invading Ukraine. And called murdering dictators MBS and Kim Jong Un smart
Meanwhile Trump has called HIS OWN CABINET and HIS OWN GENERALS idiots & stupid
General Mattis: Trump's not mature, a 5th grader
General McMaster: he's a dope, kindergartner idiot
Colonel Esper: irresponsible
General Milley: crazy
General Hytin: an idiot
General Kelly: Trump's crazy, an unhinged idiot
Next...
Then let's ask Trump White House staff, people Trump selected:
VP Pence: Trump is reckless
CoS 1 Priebus: he's an idiot
CoS 2 (Kelly, in above)
CoS 3 Mulvaney: terrible human being, a clown show
CoS 4 Meadows: Trump is worthless
SoS Tillerson: he's a fucking moron
Trump was massively embarrassed in New York, and that trial still continues. But this incident (Trump sitting in NY court for 3 days and then bailed) exposes insight into how incredibly stupid, and self-destructive Trump is
Let's do a Thread
New York New York Thread /2
So what happened? Trump sat in the civil trial - he is NOT required to be there (he must attend all criminal trials which start in March 2024). He feuded with the judge, got hit with a gag order, then stormed out of New York. Let's see how dumb it was
New York New York Thread /3
Donald the Duck McTrump's whole brand is based on the carefully constructed fake illusion, that he is somehow a 'billionaire'. WE know he is not. That Trump is a fake, a con-artist, living on other people's money. But his SUPPORTERS believe that lie
What happens next? The House cannot conduct any other business until it has selected a new House Speaker. The GOP is in civil war. It may be chaos for a while. Most likely they find a suitable Republican Speaker
DEMs do not have votes for DEM Speaker
BUT DEMs could make a deal
If a slice of Republicans (as few as 6) ally with DEMs, then that alliance could select (a Republican) speaker
Realistically the most logical such choice is an EX House Republican, like Liz Cheney
Because of GOP civil war, DEMs have leverage now
This is the deal I suggest:
DEMs make deal for ANY Republican who they can trust (like Liz Cheney, Kinzinger) where promise is 2 House Votes every week. One vote on legislation provided by GOP, the other vote legislation provided by DEMs. Both will get a floor vote each week
With Friday's bombshell news in court filing by Jack Smith of 3 more prosecution witnesses - now just about as big as they come - let's do a Thread about the flippers in Trump's life, the rats who all testify under oath, in criminal courts, against Trump
Flipper Thread/2
Trump committed an act of insurgency against America. That word is rarely used. The legal EFFECT is the same as 'treason'. Trump committed a crime which is essentially as bad as treason
So who does Jack Smith have as a witness? Trump's OWN Attorney General Barr
Flipper Thread/3
Bill Barr was not just the nation's top lawyer, as Attorney General, when this plot was first hatched - Barr learned of the idea - and TOLD TRUMP IT IS ILLEGAL. That is what Barr will testify under oath. That Trump KNEW this plot is illegal
