Chuck Grassley slams Justice Department for not prosecuting employees for lying

Ranking Senate Judiciary Committee member Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) slammed the Department of Justice on Monday for "repeated failure to prosecute employees" who were caught lying during internal investigations, citing a dozen other cases in which the United States Attorney’s Office declined to prosecute staffers.

Grassley also wanted to know more about why the department declined to prosecute agents suspected of wrongdoing in the Nassar case.

  • "Laws are meant to deter criminal activity, but when DOJ does not enforce those laws but rather shields their employees from consequences, it has the opposite effect"
  • It creates a sense of entitlement and signals that DOJ employees are beyond reproach
