The Federalist: Merrick Garland Is The Worst Attorney General In U.S. History
Merrick Garland is criticized across the political spectrum for his tenure as Attorney General, with claims of partisanship and failure to uphold justice. Critics highlight his handling of cases against Donald Trump and the Biden family, alleging selective prosecution and a lack of accountability.
Garland's actions, including the FBI's raid on Trump's home and the dismissal of charges against Biden, have led to a significant erosion of public trust in the Department of Justice. Accusations of targeting parents as "domestic terrorists" and prosecuting peaceful pro-life activists further fuel the perception of a politicized DOJ under Garland's leadership.
