TRUMPS JUSTICE DEPARTMENT
PREPARED ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT TO
CHARGE HIM WITH CRIMINAL
OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE.
THE FIRST THING TO KNOW ABOUT
THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT NOW
APPEALING THIS RULING AND
FIGHTING TO KEEP THIS DOCUMENT
SECRET, THE FIRST THING TO KNOW
ABOUT IT IS THAT THE BRIEF FILED
HERE, THE REASONING EXPLAINED BY
MERRICK GARLANDS JUSTICE
DEPARTMENT IS HUMILIATING.
ITS ABJECT AND HUMILIATING.
THROUGHOUT THE BRIEF FILED WITH
THE COURT LATE LAST NIGHT, THE
JUSTICE DEPARTMENT, THE CURRENT
JUSTICE DEPARTMENT IS JUST
CRAWLING AND SCRAPING ABOUT HOW
THEY DIDNT MEAN WHAT THEY SAID
AND HOW SORRY THEY ARE, THAT IT
LOOKED THE WAY THAT THE JUDGE
THOUGHT IT LOOKED BUT THEY
DIDNT MEAN IT TO LOOK THAT WAY,
AND NOW IN RETROSPECT THEY CAN
SEE HOW MISLEADING THEIR
PREVIOUS STATEMENT SEEMED TO THE
COURT WHEN BARR WAS ATTORNEY
GENERAL BUT PLEASE, COULDNT
THEY BE FORGIVEN FOR THAT?
I KNOW YOU THINK IM BEING
HYPERBOLIC, BUT THIS IS THE
ACTUAL LANGUAGE FILED WITH THE COURT.
COURT.
>> I MEAN, THIS IS GROSS.
THIS IS HUMILIATING.
THIS IS THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT
NOW, UNDER MERRICK GARLAND AS
ATTORNEY GENERAL, BENDING OVER
BACKWARDS LIKE THIS TO TRY TO
MAKE IT SEEM LIKE THE JUSTICE
DEPARTMENT, UNDER TRUMP, WAS
ACTING IN GOOD FAITH AND DOING
THEIR BEST AND ALL THE FALSE AND
DISINGENUOUS THINGS THEY TOLD
THE COURT ABOUT FORMER PRESIDENT
TRUMPS LIABILITY TO POTENTIAL
CRIMINAL PROSECUTION, THE FALSE
THINGS THEY TOLD NOT JUST THE
PUBLIC BUT THE COURT, SHOULD ALL
BE FORGIVEN.
BECAUSE WERE SO SURE THAT THEY
DIDNT MEAN IT TO BE AS BAD AS
IT SEEMS.
I COULD SEE THE JUSTICE
DEPARTMENT UNDER BILL BARR, THE
TRUMP ERA JUSTICE DEPARTMENT,
MAKING THESE KINDS OF
REPRESENTATIONS ABOUT THEMSELVES
AND THEIR OWN BAD BEHAVIOR HERE.
BUT WHY IS THE GARLAND JUSTICE
DEPARTMENT TRYING TO MAKE THIS
GO AWAY, TRYING TO CLEAN THIS
UP?
WE DIDNT REALLY MEAN IT.
DOES IT SEEM LIKE WE LIED?
WE DIDNT MEAN TO LIE.
WE RECOGNIZE IT KIND OF LOOKS
LIKE A LIE, BUT LOOK AT US, WE
NEVER LIE.
THATS ONE THING TO KNOW ABOUT
IT.
THE OTHER THING TO KNOW ABOUT
IT, THE OTHER THING TO AT LEAST
ASK ABOUT ALL OF THIS IS HOWEVER
THIS RESOLVES WITH THE JUSTICE
DEPARTMENT AND WHAT GETS
RELEASED TO THE PUBLIC AND WHAT
DOESNT, AND THIS QUESTION OF
WHY THE NEW ATTORNEY GENERAL IS
TRYING TO PAPER OVER WHAT BARR
DID TO PROTECT TRUMP AND TO TRY
TO ACLUDE EVEN FROM THE COURTS
THE QUESTION OF TRUMPS
POTENTIAL LIABILITY.
REGARDLESS OF HOW THAT ALL
RESOLVES, THE QUESTION THATS
NOW LIVE AND KIND OF RED HOT IS
WHETHER OR NOT PRESIDENT TRUMP
NOW IS LIBEL TO FEDERAL
PROSECUTION FOR OBSTRUCTION OF
JUSTICE BY THE JUSTICE
DEPARTMENT.
WHETHER OR NOT HES LIBEL FOR
PROSECUTION RIGHT NOW FOR THE
INSTANCES OF ALLEGED OBSTRUCTION
OF JUSTICE THAT WERE LAID OUT IN
THE MUELLER REPORT.
NONE OF THOSE THINGS ARE SO FAR
IN THE PAST THAT THEY ARE
OUTSIDE THE STATUTE OF
LIMITATIONS.
WHAT HAS BEEN CLEAR THROUGH ALL
OF THIS IS THAT THE BARR ERA
JUSTICE DEPARTMENT NEVER DID
SUBSTANTIVELY CONSIDER
OBSTRUCTION CHARGES AGAINST
TRUMP.
DESPITE ALL THE EVIDENCE LAID
OUT AGAINST HIM, DESPITE THEM
LYING TO THE PLIC AND THE
COURTS SAYING THEY LOOKED AT
THAT EVIDENCE CLEARLY, THEY DID
NOT.
IT WAS NEVER LOOKED AT.
WE NOW KNOW.
THE QUESTION OF WHETHER OR NOT
TRUMP SHOULD FACE FEDERAL
CRIMINAL CHARGES IS NO LONGER
CONSTRAINED BY HIM BEING A
PRESIDENT AND -- A SITTING
PRESIDENT AND THEREFORE IMMUNE
FROM PROSECUTION.
THAT NO LONGER APPLIES.
AND THE QUESTION OF POTENTIAL
FEDERAL PROSECUTION OF HIM FOR
OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE HAS NEVER
BEEN SUBSTANTIVELY LOOKED AT,
DESPITE THE HUNDREDS OF DETAILED
PAGES OF EVIDENCE ABOUT THOSE
ALLEGED CRIMES THAT WAS MADE
PUBLIC IN THE MUELLER
