presidency, he was essentially handcuffed because he had everything going on with the mueller investigation. and it was all ultimately determined to be based on misinformation. i mean, this is an administration that had, you know, at some point tried to create this position within dhs of a minister of disinformation criminalize you for saying things that we disagree with. and senator cotton said it perfectly just a few minutes ago that you don t have to agree with whether a donald trump or giuliani said about election fraud to say that this is not something that should be within the purview of the department of justice. we don t put people in jail because we disagree with them. we put people in jail because they re dangerous. laura: well, putin does. yeah, putin does. xi does. i mean, they put people in jail all the time. they just disappear all
allegiance of the accused. that s how i see it as a member of the d.c. bar. that s how i see it. and you should see it that way. you know, it s revealing of merrick garland to be petty, small in his mentality and his approach and making decisions to be on one hand the protection for biden with absolute corruption that should offend all of our sensibilities and then, on the other, to green light someone like jack smith to be as creative as possible and to pursue he was a president at the time when he believed that the election was fraudulent and to go back and to charge that conduct criminally based on his belief and based on h adamat position that the election was stolen from him. that s a scary day in our department of justice and administration of justice system. one family got really irish rich off of being in office and
laura: senator, he is out bragging tonight. it s the largest investigation in u.s. history. most of the charges, of course, like trespassing, doors open, people walk in some bad actors indicted and charged for much more serious things. this the is the focus of the u.s. government now? this? yeah, so merrick garland and jack smith are just leading what i would say is the most ideologically charged investigation in american history. obviously we all agree that anyone who committed acted of violence especially against a law enforcement officer on that day or committed property crime should be pursued but they have been throwing the book at grandma s who just happen to be wearing a red maga hat and were on the grounds of the united states capitol. again, this is the type of politicized environment that the department of justice has put arranged this investigation after two and a half years and
principles of justice. you know, this is, perhaps, you know, the most recent and the most public of them. but, you know, this happens every single day where they are putting people in jail. and depriving them of their rights and cheating and cutting corners to prioritize convictions over justice. so it is something that, you know, there is definitely been an erosion and, perhaps this is just one of the mothers public instances of it that the next administration will take to actually change things. laura: yeah. well, the deep the rot runs deep at doj. gentlemen, thank you for staying with us for this hour. joining me now, ned ryun, founder and ceo of american majority. ned, destabilizers of democracy. who are they tonight in the united states. you have got to start with a.g. garland. that weethat we sell knew what b
done to our system of government is irreparable. and americans have no confidence in the department of justice. they have no confidence in the fbi. they re losing confidence every day in the entire government and that s not a good thing. they have no confidence in the irs. we got change that and all that joe biden is doing every day and merrick garland every day is making a bad situation worse. laura: they don t care. they don t care. they want to win and have self-preservation that s the ultimate goal for the deep state in washington, d.c. that self-preservation and donald trump stands in the way of their self-preservation. laura: now, to your point, congressman comer, this happened on fox where the irs whistleblower addressed president biden s involvement. watch you weren t allowed to follow the normal investigative steps that would have toe potentially shine more light on
