Merrick Garland subtly threatening whistleblowers?
I guess some leaking is preferred to other leaking.

I don’t see how anyone could conclude that from what is quoted
Something tells me you and FOX TV are construing a narrative sympathetic to your political beliefs.
Why invent a story?
Check out this excerpt from Baron's FOX link...
"The DOJ, meanwhile, has faced criticism for what many regarded as its opaque reasoning in authorizing the FBI raid on former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate earlier this month."
-------------------
"OPAQUE REASONING"?...are you kidding me?...scores of Secret and Top Secret documents illegally in Trump's possession while refusing to return them and lying about their existence..."Opaque"?
Shows the journalistic 'rigor' of FOX, and the purposeful mis-information of BVZ...it is what it is...it will never change. Fortunately, neither is very skillful, so it's a piece of cake to expose them.
You disagree? The DOJ has not come under criticism?
Whether or not you agree with that assessment is one thing. But it a completely accurate statement. The DOJ has taken it on the chin over this. You won't see it on MSNBC though, so that's probably why you didn't see it.
It’s exhausting trying to buffet the trumpians here.
Like you, we’ve been pointing out the obvious - the documents are at Mar a Lago in Trumps possession a place where they’re not supposed to be. Not one item, not two or three items but dozens of not more than 100 documents classified, top secret an more. To remove them from the whitehouse is to steal them. It cannot get more plain than that.
And yet the twisting, deflection, blaming, lying, whataboutisms and disinformation campaign abounds. Truly unbelievable.
Obsequious to the end.
The law is a funny thing. You think you have something dead to rights.
The you realize you don't.
But you and Tyrone are changing the subject on me! Naughty naughty....
No, you’re inventing a fact from a direct quote. If you have another quote
which backs up your claim, then post it. Otherwise, you’re just raging about nothing.
Are you gonna start with that crap again?
The fact is he issued the memo after some very damaging and impactful things happening under his watch. That's the fact.
Did he threaten whistleblowers? No, he did not.
Are you going to back up your claim? If not you shouldn’t be upset when someone calls you out on it. Don’t blame me for your posts.
Again the timing leads one to infer that it was indeed intentionally.
I'm afraid you're correct though. I won't be able to find a quote from Garland that says "if you snitch, you guys are in BIG trouble! I'm gonna getchya!" That's the very point of a veiled threat.
The crap to which I was referring is your nauseating habit of accusing others you disagree with of raging. We can keep chatting if you'd like, but if you're going that route again imma bow out. I was just starting to like you....
Stick to the subject. I think Ive heard that recently.

So Garland didn't issue this memo?
And it didn't come out amid allegations that the guy who ran interference for Hunter "resigned". And after a dozen or so agents turned whistleblowers? Your contention is this did not happen? That's an interesting take. Even with the most sympathetic reading of the article. I'm not sure I agree with your conclusion.
Your post says Garland is threatening whistleblowers. If the
quotes are accurate he’s not threatening them.
I think the implication is clear. No more speaking out of school.
The DOJ looks like keystone cops and Merrick is trying to put the horses back in the barn.
Um, no they don’t - your deflection from facts is more of the same.
We’ve got one poster claiming he’s an attorney therefore his alternate facts are correct, another inventing facts about DJT that are not true, another calling out the media for hating DJT as the reason for calling him a thief, others trying to blame law enforcement for doing their job and on and on when the simple facts are - he’s being investigated for espionage because he stole hundreds of documents from the government and refused to return them, a concession to return them instead of arrest no other American or POTUS would receive for that theft.
You people will go to all lengths to argue an untenable crime and you keep arguing. Unbelievable.
"We’ve got one poster claiming he’s an attorney..." Who would that be Jim? Are you the oracle of the
board and if so, from where does your self perceived infallible authority arise concerning all subject matters?
On the other hand, you are always in the scrum battling for your position, but sometimes with invention.
This is classic Silent J. He’s uniting people with his truth. Spent the day yesterday arguing
With everyone who posted. And I’m still waiting for a link from him.

I wasn't really sure who he was referring to in that post.
I didn't want to press too much. It's is a bit frustrating though that he and a handful of others here deem themselves the only arbiters of truth. Everyone and everything is wrong unless it comes from them!
Anyway....no harm no foul.
"Possible" espionage charge correct? That was the language used?
Not he's been charged with espionage. And I am not deflecting a thing.
He’s being investigated for a crime under the espionage act.
That means, he stole classified and top secret documents. And if past is prologue with Trump, they were taken with the intended desire to monetize them.
Looks like it would be 18 USC Ch 37 section 794 or 798.
I'll have to look at them more closely in the morning. But a quick perusal....there's a lot of elements there to satisfy. Could be a tough. But this is good practice!
Odd that he warns agents against talking to congress, but not the media (7 yrs of leaks)
Obama wanted this loon on the SCOTUS, can you believe it?
Well, he got caught with his pants down when agents started to fess up about Hunter.
This story has been one big fat embarrassment to the bureau, the administration, the media, douche bags like Schiff and Nadler, the 51 intelligence pros who claimed it was Russian disinformation, countless posters here. And if Dems don't steal the midterms the Pubs are going to make it much much worse.
They screwed the pooch and they gotta put the clamps down. Before it's too late. It already may be...
So true.
