Merrick Garland rapidly erasing Trump effect at Justice Department




Attorney General Merrick Garland is

quickly negating the Trump administration’s law enforcement legacy, dismaying conservatives

with a burst of aggressive reversals and new policies.

Why it matters:

As a former prosecutor and respected federal judge, Garland's devotion to the rule of law has always been core to his iden y. That reputation has taken on new importance in his first 50 days on the job, after four years of allegations that Trump's DOJ was improperly politicized.

• Attorney General Bill Barr played a central role in the Trump administration's most high-profile controversies, from undermining the Russia investigation to intervening in the cases of indicted Trump associates to ordering the forcible clearing of protesters in Lafayette Square Park.
• DOJ's broad authority also overlaps with many of the issues at the top of President Biden's agenda, including restoring faith in government, promoting racial justice and police reform, and curbing gun violence.

Driving the news: Liberal fears that the soft-spoken Garland might resist prosecuting Trump and his allies for the sake of unity were partially eased on Wednesday, when news broke that federal agents had raided the Manhattan home of Rudy Giuliani.

• The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York, which Giuliani once led, is known to be highly independent.
• But under Attorney General Bill Barr, the department repeatedly blocked SDNY prosecutors from executing a search warrant for Giuliani's electronic records in the final months of 2020, according to the New York Times.

The Justice Department also announced on Wednesday that three Georgia men were charged with federal hate crimes in the shooting of Ahmaud Arbery, whose death was a rallying cry during last year's racial-justice protests.

• In Michigan, a superseding indictmentwas filed against five men accused of plotting last year to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, with prosecutors referring to the alleged crimes as "domestic terrorism" for the first time.
• That shift comes amid new developments in the investigation of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, which has been described as the most complex probe in DOJ history. Garland, who played a leading role in the prosecution of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, has vowed to make prosecuting the Capitol rioters his "first priority."

Other major steps taken in Garland's first 50 days include:

• "Pattern or practice" investigations into the Minneapolis and Louisville police departments, following the deaths last year of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor.
• A 30-day "expedited review" into how DOJ can better prosecute and track hate crimes amid a surge in violence against Asian Americans.
• The revocation of a Trump-era policy that restricted federal funding for "sanctuary cities."
• Responsibility for five of the six executive actions on gun control ordered by Biden.

What to watch: Garland's commitment to depoliticizing DOJ will undergo a key test when a charging decision is made in the case of Hunter Biden, whose finances are under investigation.

• Special counsel John Durham is also expected to submit a report concerning alleged abuses by Obama-era intelligence officials during the Russia investigation.

It was a whopper that went unnoticed on Wednesday night; with just a few ill-chosen words Biden utterly toppled any justification for the Green New Deal, which plays a central role in his $2.3 trillion American Jobs Plan and which, without a doubt, puts our economy at risk.

This is what he said, according to a New York Times transcript of the president’s remarks: "The United States accounts, as all of you know, for less than 15 percent of carbon emissions. The rest of the world accounts for 85 percent. That’s why I kept my commitment to rejoin the Paris Accord, because if we do everything perfectly, it’s not going to matter."

That was not in the version of the speech the White House handed out ahead of time.

GOP Sen. Blackburn offers an odd excuse after she's caught spreading lies about Biden's plans




wrongly claimed that part of Biden's proposal included making community college and pre-K mandatory.

But her office walked back that claim after being fact-checked by CNN's Daniel Dale.

Blackburn told Fox Business host Stuart Varney,

"Three-year-old pre-K — they're going to mandate this.

Two years of college whether you like it or not.

These are the things that take away choices from the American people.

They give them a great big fat tax bill that they're going to pay."

Giuliani claims Bill Barr approved search warrant on him — during Trump’s impeachment

Rudy Giuliani took to Twitter to claim that

the search warrant against him was approved by former President Donald Trump's Attorney General William Barr —

during the impeachment proceedings

"The DOJ in late 2019 covertly obtained access to my iCloud and never notified me," said Giuliani.

"They invaded the attorney client relationship as we were defending against the phony impeachment.

These prosecutors violated the laws, not me. If again, nothing is done, you could be next."

Reporters and legal experts were stunned by Giuliani's latest claim.
