The Politicization of the Department of Justice

It is unfortunate that over the past several years we have seen a politicization of the Department of Justice.  Going back to the Obama administration and the notorious Lois Lerner episode, through the falsification of documents by the FBI in presentations to the FISA courts regarding the Steele documents, the manipulations of James Comey, into our current day with the raids on Project Veritas, the mobilization against parents who speak out at school board meetings, and more, the integrity of the DOJ is seriously in question.

These actions call into question the security of our foundations of freedom.  As pointed out in the article linked below, Thomas Jefferson wrote, “the most sacred of the duties of a government (is) to do equal and impartial justice to all its citizens”.  We can be thankful that the head of the DOJ, Merrick Garland did not achieve a seat on the Supreme Court for his actions in his current position have shown him to be willing to bend to political winds.  Let us hope that future damage can be avoided and that a future administration will work to bring back integrity to the department.
