Merrick Garland

But they`ve been outmaneuvered just beautifully this week.

his articulated commitment is not only to doing the right thing, but also to doing it in the right way.

Faithful adherence to the rule of law is the bedrock principle of the Justice Department and of our democracy. Upholding the rule of law means applying the law evenly without fear or favor.

The Justice Department has filed a motion in the Southern District of Florida to unseal search warrant and property receipt relating to a court-approved search that the FBI conducted earlier this week.

Let me address recent unfounded attacks on the professionalism of the FBI and Justice Department agents and prosecutors. I will not stand by silently when their integrity is unfairly attacked.

The best way for garland to counter the former president`s false narratives to create public trust in the Justice Department is to prioritize transparency over secrecy. Silence is not an option in the post-Trump era.

The Department filed a motion to make public the warrant and receipt in light of the former President's public confirmation of the search, the surrounding circumstances and the substantial public interest in this matter.

I am concerned about the rhetoric I have been hearing. It endangers the men and women who are simply doing their job of keeping this country safe.

First, I personally approved the decision to seek a search warrant in this matter. Second, the department does not take such decision lightly.

Every day, they protect the American people from violent crime, terrorism and other threats to their safety while safeguarding our civil rights.

We will follow the facts wherever they lead.

I want this unsealed. I want the American public to know why I’m doing what I’m doing.

You’ve now made this a public interest issue, fine, bring it on.

The Justice Department remains committed to holding all January 6th perpetrators at any level accountable under law.

It’s pretty clear that government at least has evidence that, in fact, he did not do that, and they must present that evidence to a court, which is why they got the search warrant.

I think, if there were to be charges against the former president, it’s going to emanate from the January 6th investigation.

My intuition is that Merrick Garland was given information that there was national security information of such importance and so sensitive, and that he could not trust that Donald Trump will simply turn it back over to the government.

I think it’s important for people to understand that there are a number of ways in which the government can obtain documents from someone, it can be voluntary, you can just ask them and they can be turned over. You can issue a subpoena, in…

Why do we need to do this by search warrant and not by subpoena?

The government had information that there were still extant classified information and other government information at Mar-a-Lago.
