DOJ Rot Goes So Much Deeper Than Merrick Garland

Following the sensational whistleblower testimony that dropped Thursday, revealing how the Department of Justice systematically blocked an IRS investigation into Joe Biden's son Hunter and diverted agents from examining the incriminating evidence against his presidential father, House Republicans are threatening the overdue impeachment of Attorney General Merrick Garland - except most of the pro-Biden interference in the DOJ happened before Garland was installed, while President Donald Trump was still in office.

Does Garland still deserve impeachment for his assortment of abuses, such as sitting on his hands to avoid real accountability for the younger Biden, while weaponizing the country's top law enforcement agency to try to send Biden's top presidential challenger to federal prison? Absolutely.

If the blame - and punishment - for the DOJ corruption revealed by whistleblowers stops with Merrick Garland or even Joe Biden, it will happen again.

In the meantime, the DOJ continued to block IRS investigators from accessing the laptop and openly cited the investigation's potential to hurt Biden's electoral chances as their reason for slow-walking it.

When IRS agents finally sent their recommended charges against Hunter Biden to the DOJ, the agency - by then under Attorney General Merrick Garland - opposed the recommendation.

Based on the deal offered to Hunter Biden last week, we know the DOJ dropped most of the charges.

Before the investigation into Hunter Biden was even opened, the Russia-collusion hoax orchestrated against then-candidate Trump in 2016 offered more evidence of rank-and-file DOJ corruption, such as Peter Strzok and Lisa Page's conversation about their plan to "Stop" Trump from becoming president.
